“Your Friends and Neighbors” is a desperate “Desperate Housewives” ripoff. It started strong but the writing and story cratered.

I’m usually off work on Monday. Labor Day is screwing up my get things done day. Too many of y’all out and about. Jus Sayin’
Or get your online library card and download the book to your tablet. Support authors and libraries any way you can.
Water is wet. It is a slow day at The NY Times? We all know this. 100s of more important crises than Trump hires sycophants.
I’m trapping this between shopping carts just to see what happens.
The NY Times locked the mini crossword behind a paywall. Jokes on them. I have another reason to hate the NYT and I get that minute of my morning back. #Autism
3 pairs of reading glasses. One for desk, living room, bedroom and yet they all end up at the same place, the kitchen.
Sure, paint it black.
What is this garbage where Big Brother is supposed to be? #BB27
Cold plunging is teaching me about my #Autism sensitivities. 1st is touch. The more anxious I am, more irritated things touching me becomes. Fight or flight is real upon entering the water.2nd is sound. Tried to play music during plunge and my anxiety escalated. Light 3rd. Smell and taste are last
Gonna be one of them days. Couldn’t sleep, then overslept alarm, furry children not wanting to eat, NYT mini won’t open in the app, schedule change at work, didn’t get to cold plunge last evening. I’m just one traffic idiot away from an #autism meltdown.
If famous deaths come in 3s, I could think of one in Washington that could fill the second slot.
Newsom has supported various laws including protections for books featuring LGBTQ+ figures, fines for districts rejecting LGBTQ+ curriculum, gender-neutral retail sections, gender-inclusive official documents, and banning forced outing in schools.
Anti-Outing Measures in Schools He signed the SAFETY Act (AB 1955) in July 2024, giving educators discretion — not a requirement — regarding informing parents about a student’s LGBTQ+ identity.
He has expressed reservations in some areas. His comments on trans athletes and certain budget decisions have drawn serious criticism. He’s not anti-trans. We are losing Democracy every day and people fighting over 12 individuals playing in women’s sports. Really?
Need a map or should we call you an Uber?
Newsom signed SB 107 in September 2022, making California the first “sanctuary state” for transgender youth by protecting their access to gender-affirming medical care and shielding against out-of-state interference. In 2020, transgender individuals housed in prisons matching their gender identity.
Never been cracker enough to visit Cracker Barrel more than the one time my cracker parents made me go.
The duckbilled platypus is extinct. She needs to fade back to obscurity.
Democrats would be better pointing out the meeting failed. Trump is a grossly overweigh orange man with a dyed combover in lifts that can’t walk straight. People don’t care about optics. TRUMP FAILS AGAIN TO GET A CEASEFIRE AND IS ON THE EPSTEIN LIST.
I don’t believe in god or higher power and I don’t fault people that haven’t reached a state that they can leave the belief behind them. It’s not my place to take away something useful to someone else. I push back only when they want to include me.
There are no contenders until one down has been played.
Stop being so sensitive. It’s a discussion
You slide from “will” to “can” rather quickly. There are policies that happen in NYC that will not happen anywhere else because NYC is unique. Mamdani, AOC, Richie Torres would have a difficult time being elected anywhere else but NY. Politics of NY do not translate.
I presented a state of being not calling you a name. Who was the last President that began as Mayor of NYC? I’ll wait.
How did Eric Adams affect the rest of the country?
Someone please tell me why you would vote for someone based on the endorsement of another politician. A politician that will do, say and pander to get elected endorsing another that will do, say and pander is ludicrous. Last decade’s politics.
I’m not in any way religious and yet Bill Gates declaring the end of the smartphone for electronic tattoos is a little too on the nose Revelations for even me.
I live in a red state, in a soon to be redistricted area from blue to red. NYC doesn’t come up in conversation or voting issues. Y’all are delusional.
Pump the breaks. NY Politics has no bearing on the way the rest of the country feels about any issue. The sun is still the center of the universe not NYC.
No fucks to give.
I can’t cold shower. I need the immediacy of instant cold and then adaptation. Cold showers are torture.
Morning of #Autism sensory overload. Can’t hold onto things and bumping into everything.
Outrage is a choice. Could have answered the question, shrugged and had less stress hormones.
This is why people become disillusioned that either political party will solve problems. Since the 1980s, it’s a political football that neither party wants to fix.
78° and 87% humidity is a tough reversal of numbers. #Autism
Gas prices- meh. Food prices - grr. COFFEE PRICES - It’s war!
For my fellow #Tisms I recommend “cold plunging”. I despise being cold. Yes it seems that putting overstimulated individuals in cold water is counterintuitive. After much cussing, swearing and foul mouth stream of consciousness words I can put together, it resets my nervous system. Try it.
Oh look I missed another boycott, momentary outrage and trend. I’ve been too busy living and working offline. I will do better. I swear.
NY politics do not play in the rest of the country and is not indicative of the Democratic Party. AOC would never get elected outside of NYC. Mamdami is a leftist social media Trump. He knows how to use media. Watch how he centrists his ideas to get elected. The change is coming.
Same but I had to go to work. Was vibrating out of my skin, hyper verbal and could feel every stitch of my clothing.
A pound of coffee increased by a dollar so who is paying for this tariff again? #Republicansraisetaxes #Trumptariffs
The winner. Give him his prize
You lost Medicaid? Don’t worry, we’re building a nuclear reactor on the moon.
Y’all gonna be mad, mad if Keanu somehow manages to weasel, bully and convince his way to winning. #BB27 The man has 9 lives in that house.
There is an entire series on TikTok where people present their small spoons to the #Autism community for comment. It’s amazing.
I love how hyperfocused fixations change so rapidly in my #Autism I’m mass loading audiobooks into my brain on trauma, philosophy and habit forming behaviors at 1.5x speed. It feels like I can’t get information fast enough.
💯
I have been a fan of Star Trek since the original series. The new TV series are straight camp garbage.
She should wear clothes appropriate for her size.
QM2 before I got out,way back when.
Love it. I was a navigator in the Navy. I’ve used a sextant for location.
#bb27 Can’t wait for the duck-lipped has-been to leave.
Maybe it’s the #Autism in me, Who asked for this? Who would go to eat here? Why is this in my reality? Someone please reset the Matrix. Its jumped the shark.
The thing about being #Autistic and owning dogs. I’m quiet and they’re quiet. I can tell which one wants to go out by the sound of their toenails on the wood floor.
The devout Christian Speaker of the House covering up for pedophiles is very on brand.
Let’s make a distraction list for Trump and the media. Stuff we will 💯 believe. Tuesday: Elvis spotted at Costco Wednesday: FBI has uncovered the cover up on Sasquatch.
“Flat Earthier” are really just “Dry Landers”. No pilot or sailor/navigator could believe the earth is flat. We would be continually lost.
Stacy is a bot
Colbert will get picked up by a streaming service because of the controversy.
I think we should start an #Autism guide to movies. So many movies and TV shows that are raved about by neurotypicals just don’t hold up.
I have never been a huge fan of Superman,any of the movies or comic books. It just never held a great interest to me and yet I have loved this new Superman movie. It just clicked. This Superman as portrayed by the actor is so #AutismCoded
Today was a day. As a LCDC with #Autism, I counseled 3 dual diagnosis clients back to back. 1 ASD/SUD, 1 ODD/ADHD/SUD and 1 BPD/SUD, then taught 2 classes. My brain hurts.
It’s not Colbert. Network TV is a dead brand. There are 3 shows I kind of watch, sometimes.
Not saying this is right, but where has she been? This is installed in jails all over this country.
“We”? I didn’t vote for any of this.
Bet the majority of who he thinks he’s talking about are white people in red states.
SUPERMAN PUNK ROCK!
Too many words. Short, sharp and repeatable.
She is really annoying
Hey SIRI, how long does Botox last in the Big Brother house? #BB27
Stop fishing in an overstocked pond. WE KNOW. We’re not the audience that needs to hear this. Yelling Fascism daily has not changed one policy. Take your message to FOX or Joe Rogan. Win some converts. This is why old minded Democrats lose.
As I look at the full moon setting, my mind ponders why some people believe that the earth is flat. Then, I’m annoyed that those people have a place in my head.
MAGA strikes back?
I mean. Look what she did to her face.
You thought the worse thing in the world happened to you and then Ted Cruz shows up.
Written like a man that could never take the pitch.
Hard pass.
I have no notifications turned on for anything. Too meltdown inducing when feeling irritable or frustrated.
Went to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore and came away with lots of stuff not on my list and nothing on my list.
In my #Autism I am sensitive to tones. Turned on an audiobook and the reader’s tone was like spooning in a clump of tasteless mush. Still have a lingering physical response. Could not turn it off fast enough.
I feel for those in Central Texas that suffered through the floods. One of the worse days of their lives and then Chip Roy and Ted Cruz arrive.
The real problem with Social Media is the exposure to stupidity.
I stash pillows around me but not under my head.
There is a mental shift happening from consuming video media (TV, movies, videos) to audio media. Shows/movies I loved, no longer hold my attention at all, even if I speed them up. I’m power listening to podcasts and audiobooks at 1.75 speed and ripping through them. #AutismBrain
This is another reason why it’s embarrassing to be a Democrat. Stop giving Bubba and Candy reasons to rally around Trump. Bring the entire world here to see America isn’t free. Shine a light on the racism and bigotry.
The Venn diagram of the people that voted for Trump, was directly affected and lost loved ones in the Texas Hill Country floods and would vote for him again is a ⭕️ #MysticCamp #GuttedNOAA
That’s easy.
“Being happy is not the same as living well”
Emotional Intelligence is hard.
Need a daily Pivot Podcast for moments like this.
The only way this makes sense is if Republicans believe there won’t be future elections.
A group of incels blaming Democrats because they lack the social skills to date. If they stopped making grievance, gaming and Joe Rogan their whole personality, they might have a shot.
I was discussing “attachment styles” with a colleague and they asked mine. As a person with #Autism, my attachment style is “hyper-focus then forget you exist”. Don’t know what to call it.
This is Pixel. I think he exists in my life so I have fences to build, gates to install and a barn to clean for the 10 minutes a week when he’s being sweet.
Imagine being this out of touch with the ability to vote.
2 episodes into Season 4 of The Bear. This was my favorite show for the writing and performances. It’s not hitting and holding my attention.
We have reached the juncture of too hot outside and crappy sport options to watch inside. Don’t come for me “Hotdog Eating” contestants.
That is called wit. It requires a dry sense of humor which you are lacking. This has been such a joy. I’m now bored. Please return to your angst filled life with your Bernie Sander posters adorning your walls. You’re dismissed.
