It's not that autists don't understand idioms, it's that we see straight through them.
This evening my colleague said "I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight!" as we left work, and I replied almost automatically, "what, waking every two hours to drink milk?"

Never been diagnosed, hesitant to self diagnose. Didn’t know this was an austism-related thing. When I see idiomatic phrases my mind immediately parses them as literal as well as fully knowing the idiom. I’ll continue to “riff” on the literal scenario in ways I’m certain some would consider obsessive, but it’s not like I can do anything about it. It also feels completely effortless.

Tell Your Senators: No War With Iran
The American people do not want to enter Netanyahu’s war with Iran. American involvement would not only put our troops into harm's way, but risk escalating an already volatile situation into all-out regional conflict.Indivisible Guide

Seit einigen Wochen kommt es in Essen-Kray zu verstärkter Nazi-Aktivität. In den Parteiräumen der neonazistischen Partei "Die Heimat" in Kray treffen sich alte Kader mit jungen Strukturen.
Von dieser Gruppe geht eine immense Gefahr für alle aus, die nicht in das Weltbild der Neonazis passen.
Inzwischen üben die Neonazis auch ganz unverhohlen den Einsatz von Schusswaffen.

The image features a striking black and white design that creates a sense of depth and movement. The background is entirely black, providing a stark contrast to the white elements in the foreground. The central focus is a black circular void, from which numerous white lines radiate outward, resembling a tunnel or vortex. These lines are composed of small, evenly spaced dots that gradually increase in size as they move away from the center, enhancing the illusion of depth. The lines curve and twist, giving the impression of a three-dimensional space. The overall effect is a mesmerizing, abstract pattern that draws the viewer's eye towards the center, creating a dynamic and visually engaging composition.

Acabei de ver agora o filme polonês "Ostatnia rodzina" (2016), que o @evaristoramosarte me indicou, sobre a vida e a família do pintor Zdzislaw Beksinski.
O filme é ótimo. Cada diálogo seco como costumeiramente o cinema do leste europeu pós Tarkowski. Cada cena filmada com câmera estática evocando em si o direito de ser uma das pinturas do artista (já tinha visto obras dele, mas não associara ao nome).
Agradeço a meu amigo pela indicação, e recomendo que assistam.
Per capire cos'è la #sinistra, un racconto di anni fa, durante il periodo delle agitazioni universitarie.
Fu occupata un'aula, proclamata l'assemblea; poi, il caos.
"L'assemblea deve dichiararsi anti-fascista"
"No deve dichiarare anti-totalitaria"
"No,ci sono state anche dittature giuste"
"Sì, ma non quella che dici tu, l'altra"
"Ragazzi, stiamo perdendo tempo"
"Zitto, fascista!"
E avanti così per giorni, senza badare minimamente ai bisogni degli studenti, senza occuparsi di problemi concreti
ci sono quelli che parlano, parlano e parlano del sesso degli angeli senza combinare nulla e quelli che li fottono
Paine College hosts health fair
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Paine College held a health and wellness fair on Sunday, but with a twist.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
The #UN #Security Council began an emergency meeting Sunday afternoon, called by #Iran to address the #US strikes on its #nuclear program. In an opening statement, UN Secretary General #AntónioGuterres said the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the #UnitedStates marks “a perilous turn in a region that is already reeling.” The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed damage to 3 sites, #Natanz, #Isfahan & #Fordow, which was built deep inside a mountain.
#MiddleEast #war #Trump
Israeli PM Benjamin #Netanyahu had “succeeded in hijacking #US foreign policy, dragging the #UnitedStates into yet another costly, baseless #war,” Iravani said, adding, “America has once more recklessly chosen to sacrifice its own #security merely to safeguard Netanyahu.”
Meanwhile, #Israel’s permanent representative to the #UN, Danny Danon, defended the #Trump admin’s decision to strike #Iran’s #nuclear sites & urged the support of members of the Security Council.
“The cost of inaction would have been catastrophe,” Danon said. “A #nuclear #Iran would have been a death sentence just as much for you as it would have been for us.”
Iravani said Iran has a right to defend itself “against this blatant #US aggression,” adding that Iran’s armed forces will decide the “timing, nature, & scale of Iran’s proportionate response.”
#MiddleEast #war #Trump
The #US strikes on #Iran “did not occur in a vacuum,” Iravani said, noting that the #UnitedStates has a history of intervention in the region — including in #Afghanistan, #Libya & #Iraq. People in those countries “continue to pay the price,” he added.
