Larry Tesler, inventor of the cut, copy, and paste commands, dies at 74

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

In addition to receiving an average of about 2 review requests per day, today I got a reminder for a review I already submitted.

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Say no to the golden handcuffs. This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington. It is about making us a vassal state. We need to put the protection of our interests as top priority for military investments.

And if you haven't read this shattering ProPublica piece about the effects of Covid on pregnancies, you should take a deep breath and do so:

Now this is what a Left Rogan would sound like

Paragraph 1: here are all the ways i parroted racist, right-wing critiques of my employer Paragraph 2: what’s with all these racist right-wing critiques of my employer that i parroted??

incredible lack of self-awareness from Pinker here

I successfully made it across the border so I reactivated my socials. What d'I miss?

This is bleak reading

@jeopardypodcast.bsky.social I have a PhD and I also thought the lyric was "let me go out". #justiceforemily @mremilyheller.bsky.social

this was a penalty!?

Max Domi was called for cross-checking

New PUP album has me feeling like an angsty teenager at 43. Especially this bop. Featuring wagon wheel illusion.

Anyone else notice that students no longer indent their paragraphs in their writing (if they use paragraphs at all)?

I want to tell the people of Quebec how much I fucking love you. The country owes you a beer.

With all sincerity, Elections Canada is a national treasure. - Voting typically takes less than 15 minutes - We make it easy for citizens to vote, without cumbersome registration hurdles - We have every reason to trust that ballots will be counted fairly, and results reported swiftly

You have to wonder what Mark Carney's other two wishes were after rubbing that bottle

Politically and economically, Ontario is by far the most important part of Canada. But because people have a lot of feelings, Canadian politicians are traditionally expected to pretend that every other part of Canada is more important.

Let’s stop bullshitting here..the stakes are too high this time. Progressives need to take one for the fucking team and go vote for Carney because he’s our best and only chance at defeating Poilievre. Full stop. Slum it with us normie, smooth brained Canadians for a day, it won’t kill you.

This is so Canadian. Body Break doing a special elbows up get out to vote segment.

My "Honestly, not one ounce of panic" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

that's stupid

Stop wasting time scrutinizing the fucking CPC costed platform. It doesn’t mean anything. Their base has been locked down since Covid. Nothing is swaying their vote now. You eggheads have one job and that’s to make sure you vote for who better stands to beat them in your riding. Just end this shit.

Imagine if the pope's wife dropped this one week from now.

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

what a brilliant and definitely useful technology

I can't remember who I stole this idea from so apologies for not acknowledging you, but I created a NYT Connections-style bonus for my Perception exam:

Very pleased that the Special Issue of Visual Cognition on Teaching Sensation & Perception that @ankosov.bsky.social, @juliafstrand.bsky.social and myself edited is now published in full! If you're looking for some exciting ideas about teaching #VisionScience, start here!

Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars

The 66-year-old woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor of medicine with 16,000 citations on Google Scholar Goals

Feeling particularly Canadian lately so I took the lab curling. 🇨🇦🥌

My first paper finally got published online at Journal of Neuroscience today 🙂

This summer, I will be hosting a virtual workshop for computer programming in cognitive neuroscience, funded by NSF. It is designed to teach early-career students the basics of R to analyze data from cognitive tasks. More info, including a syllabus and how to apply: sites.google.com/view/r-progr...
