The spectrum is not a poisoning event. Tylenol did not invent Newton. Before they had a code for us, they just called us difficult.
Autism is older than the vaccine schedule. Diagnostic creep widened the net. The genetic load was already in the family. Twin studies have been rude about “genes do not cause epidemics” since the 1970s.
Severe cases are real. The potato speech is not. Musk said it on SNL and kept launching hardware.

Added an RSS feed today. Scraped the old content so I could clean it up instead of letting it rot in place. Did the sitemap and the usual SEO bits so the thing isn’t completely invisible.
Then I tried using Grok to speed some of it up.
The experience was questionable at best. Useful in short bursts, then it would confidently rewrite something that already worked, drop a line I specifically asked to keep, or suggest a change that broke the pa...Autism: Musk and I Share Something, and Why RFK Jr. Is Cluelesshttps://thewhitewitchtm.github.io/whitewitch/articles/2026-10-14-autism-musk-rfk.html2026-10-14T00:00:00+00:002026-10-14T00:00:00+00:00🧠 Autism: Musk and I Share Something, and Why RFK Jr. Is Clueless
There is a particular flavor of public commentary that treats an entire neurological category as a single ruined potato. In April 2025, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stood at a briefing on CDC autism numbers and delivered the version that has been quoted ever since: these are kids who will never pay taxes, never hold a job, never play baseball, never write a poem, never go on a date, and many of who...A Child Was Stabbed to Death at Schoolhttps://thewhitewitchtm.github.io/whitewitch/rants/2026-10-13-school-stabbing.html2026-10-13T00:00:00+00:002026-10-13T00:00:00+00:00😡 A Child Was Stabbed to Death at School
On 6 October 2026 a 15-year-old entered a middle school in Istanbul wearing a uniform and stabbed eight children between the ages of 10 and 13. One of them, 10-year-old Eslem Sare Bulut, died. The others were injured. The attacker’s parents were detained.
That is the event. A teenager walked into a school, pulled a knife, and started stabbing other children. One of those children is dead. The school was supposed to be a place where that does not happ...Columbus Never Reached the Continenthttps://thewhitewitchtm.github.io/whitewitch/shorts/2026-10-12-columbus-short.html2026-10-12T00:00:00+00:002026-10-12T00:00:00+00:00📜 Columbus Never Reached the Continent
Norse sailors reached North America around the year 1000. Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492 and never set foot on the mainland of what is now the United States or Canada.
His own reports describe the rest.

Every October the United States takes a day to celebrate a man who never reached North America, never understood where he was, and left a paper trail of brutality that would get a modern contractor blacklisted.
The people who actually showed up
Around the year 1000, Norse sailors from Greenland established a settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland. The site has been excavated. The evidence is physical: iron rive...Politics Broke Me So I Went Retrohttps://thewhitewitchtm.github.io/whitewitch/blog/2026-10-11-politics-broke-me-games.html2026-10-11T00:00:00+00:002026-10-11T00:00:00+00:00🕹️ Politics Broke Me So I Went Retro
Got so bored and annoyed with the nonstop political insanity flooding my zone that I rage-quit the timeline and started porting 70s and 80s games.
Turns out carefully resurrecting a 50-year-old codebase that still smells like punch cards is still less exhausting than watching adults argue in public. The universe is now slightly more cursed. You’re welcome.

Temporary license so Russian diesel can flow through April 2027. Sanctions get a six-month hall pass. Moscow gets revenue and breathing room. Washington gets a price headline.
Warm words for Putin, Xi, and Kim. Toddler treatment for democratic leaders. Canada and Greenland as real estate.

Politics broke me.
Not in the dramatic “I shall write a manifesto” way. More in the “I opened the app, saw the same three arguments for the fourth day in a row, and closed the laptop before I said something that would require an apology I don’t feel like writing” way.
So I did the only reasonable thing left: I started building a website.
This one.
It’s an experiment. GitHub Pages, free hosting, Markdown files, and whatever Liquid I...America: From Leader of the Free World to Putin’s Diesel Errand Boyhttps://thewhitewitchtm.github.io/whitewitch/articles/2026-10-10-diesel-errand-boy.html2026-10-10T00:00:00+00:002026-10-10T00:00:00+00:00🇺🇸 America: From Leader of the Free World to Putin’s Diesel Errand Boy
Once upon a time the United States liked to pretend it was the indispensable leader of the free world. That was the story it sold itself and everyone else: beacon of democracy, defender of elected governments, the big country that kept the authoritarians in check. Then Donald Trump came back, opened the curtains, and decided the free world could go fuck itself as long as the gas prices dropped and the strongmen sent him n...Biden Did It, Almost Two Years Out of Officehttps://thewhitewitchtm.github.io/whitewitch/videos/2026-10-06-still-bidens-fault.html2026-10-06T00:00:00+00:002026-10-06T00:00:00+00:00👻 Biden Did It, Almost Two Years Out of Office
Biden did it, almost two years out of office but it is still all his fault and it will be for the next two years.
Inflation finished 2024 under 3 percent. Gas was about $3.11. Biden left in January 2025.
It’s October 2026. Inflation is 3.4 percent. Gas is about $4.30. There’s a new war. Everything costs more.
And somehow it’s still his fault.
Different year. Different president. Same ghost. The calendar moved. The blame did not.

Live from the pumps Trump swore were pure patriotism. Regular $3.99, diesel $4.68, margin so thin it might be negative. White House called it love of the USA and slashed profits. Mansfield Oil’s lawsuit calls it roughly $4 million in fuel KRSM lifted and never paid for, some of it landing at these exact stations. Loss-leader PR so classic it should come with a receipt that says “IOU.” Even at zero profit the price still doesn’t bury the ...Trump Said Prices Came Way Down. They Did Not.https://thewhitewitchtm.github.io/whitewitch/videos/2026-10-02-prices-way-down.html2026-10-02T00:00:00+00:002026-10-02T00:00:00+00:00📈 Trump Said Prices Came Way Down. They Did Not.
Trump said prices came way down. They did not.
Groceries are up 2.2% from last year. Up 3.4% since January. Beef is up. Gas is up 27%. The cart went up. The pump went up.
Way down was the speech. Not the bill. And if your proof is a fake receipt, that is not data. That is fan fiction.

Pete, after absolutely not drinking vodka, did approve the new thought-killing machine recruiting standards.
Stolen valor comes to mind. Also the desire to mock General Bone Spurs relentlessly. Like we have no other problems. Here is the US Army recruiting video: Be all you never were, Bone Spurs edition.
