  • Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California … “If Paramount and CBS ended The Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know,” he posted on [twitter].

    Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts … also weighed in, expressing skepticism about the timing of the decision to end the show [also posted on twitter]

    is there any clearer sign of what’s happening than some of the most prominent left leaning members of the “opposition” party posting their concerns on a right-wing platform?

    President Trump celebrated the news. “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired,” he posted on Truth Social. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.”

    only a matter of time …

    … we need mutual understanding and behavior is a responsibility for everyone to work on to have a pleasant society.

    this is the crux of it all: you don’t have to tell the neurodivergent to pick up a book because they are the only ones who have the burden of behavior modification (aka masking) for that pleasant society to exist. on the other hand, neurotypicals don’t and won’t since thier overwheling majority status automatically reinforces whatever conclusion they come up with.

    the kind of evaluation taking place here doesn’t come from an objective and thoroughly researched science; it’s nothing more than exploring feelings and that’s why i said something. if i had a nickel for every time a neurotypical employer “evaluated” themselves like this, i wouldn’t need to perpetually find work like the other 80% of neurodivergents that can’t keep a job.

    self evaluation is always good, but fruitless if not done with the guidance of experts; hence the “pick up a book” part of my previous comment.

    i get this feeling all the time too because of my neurodivergence. multiple studies have proven repeatedly that neurotypicals reliance on “gut feelings” has a HEAVY impact on how they regard neurodivergents and that’s led to thousands of experiences of being treated like both of these guys in this comic strip.

    it makes me wish that people would pick up a book on human behavior or atleast accept that your unconscious biases have a bigger impact on how you interact w the world than your intentions ever will.
