#ASDS
Never been so happy to know how under-diagnosed ASDs actually are.

Gonna start a new venture capital Silicon Valley defense contractor called "Sinecure" where we produce board positions for GOFOs and ASDs and cool graphics for weapons that will never get produced or work, but WILL revolutionize the kinematics of warrior ethos lethal synergy
this piece is incredible because it's 80% the DIU grifters jerking off themselves and their scam partners in industry about how it's a huge failing the services aren't buying a billion of these yesterday and then it's like "oh yeah btw neither of the drones we were out here to test fuckin worked"
One drone failed repeatedly to find its target when jammed and ultimately crashed into a hill. Another flew past its target and went up in flames.

Know what else we ASDs have that he doesn't? Intelligence. Curiosity. A mind always clicking toward solutions for everything. Our brains aren't worm-infested sludge.

Oh ffs.

Multiple members of my family (both sides) have gone undiagnosed for decades.

Autism is not new.

Our understanding and revised definitions of ASDs is the thing that's new.

Nothing to do with vaccines or plastics or othersuch shit.

"Compassionate, informative, witty and honest. This highly accessible book offers a fresh perspective on socio-political processes that shape practices related to the management of death in an overlooked socio-legal context."

'Ashes to Admin' by Evie King wins the 2025 ASDS Book Award. #ddd17

First aircraft accident of Trump/GOP shutdown. 2 Delta Connection jets collided on the ground at LaGuardia. Most ground incursions are due to communication failure between the aircraft and ground control. LaGuardia has a ground detection system(ASDS) that may have failed or been unmanned. #ProudBlue

He diagnosed himself as having Asperger’s at a time when the understanding of ASDs had
already moved past that classification.

He may simply be a sociopath - very, very different from autism spectrum disorders, and much more consistent with his lack of empathy for others.

Thanks to everyone who nominated the book for the longlist. That it was both a reader and a council vote means loads.

Please stop ascribing this clown’s vile behaviour to his supposed Autism, to his - & I quote - “what used to be called Asperger’s Syndrome”. I’m formally diagnosed with ASD. Racism & authoritarianism weren’t diagnostic criteria. Perhaps just read a book or listen to folks with ASDs?

Like I don't know what other reason you can reasonably posit for why the other military departments are being run by unqualified donors and JD's college buddies and USD/ASDs are (other than cheese) random billionaires, but SECAF is some random (otherwise qualified) space dork from the bowels of NRO

Did they use ‘ASDs’ there as a shorthand for autistic folk?
