  • The artist, Stonetoss, makes a career on catering to homophobia, transphobia, racism, antifeminism, all the nazi shit.

    It is very much deliberate. He tends to use nazi dogwhistles to make his comics pass cursory censorship.

    Sometimes he makes merely mildly hateful comics, like this. That is also a deliberate attempt to avoid censorship and spread the comics outside the nazi bubble. This is why he rebranded out of his previous comic “Red Panels” which was all nazi all the time and got banned everywhere.


  • When I started here, all there was was bioactive ground. Other engineers said I was daft to build a base on bioactive ground, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the bioactive ground. So, I built a second one. That sank into the bioactive ground. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the bioactive ground, but the fourth one… stayed up! No, wait…



  • Where does that headline phrasing come from? The study does not, and does not claim to, pinpoint anything for autism.

    They use mice bred for hypersensitivity, and look at which parts of those mice’s brains can be suppressed to reduce measured sensitivity to heated floors and electric shock.

    They use “mice models of autism” to get an indication of where to maybe start looking on the slim chance it turns out to be similar in humans.

    The mouse model may turn out to be a different kind of hypersensitivity altogether. Human brains may wire hypersensitivity very differently. The observed results may be that the mice’s reactions are different instead of weaker. Etc…

    It is valid science, but a long shot away from a long shot at being applicable for autism in humans.
