Me: I’m often not sure if you’ve moved since last time I saw you Hubby: It’s an aliasing problem! Me: Is it, though?

I'm blessed by a very funny brother. jeremyrosenholtz.substack.com?utm_campaign... @blaisebalas.bsky.social this seems up your alley

#GVerse via @chariselee.bsky.social Incredible interpretation of popping, hip hop freestyle and art of ballet‼️ Yo-Yo Ma and Lil Buck - The Swan

Daughter’s significant other is sucking up by volunteering to play guitar along with my drumming songs, and I am totally here for it

Why, thank you, Bing Copilot 😆 (paper, commentary, and response here: shorturl.at/3xsMr, will write more about it later)

Here are four of my most popular cartoons on 2025

Ambiguous images for the holiday

Tanat Boozayaangool, C. Bedford, and Remy Siu introduce our 2025 Industry Impact recipient, Game Devs of Color.

Thaaat’s not fire-safe…

It always cheers me to visit OverheardBsky

Become ungovernable

One of the under appreciated joys of social media is reading comments in reverse chronological order. The reveal!

There's definitely a market for pot gummies that look just like fiber/laxative gummies.

It is not surprising that @aaronhertzmann.com and I have mutual friends (we are, after all, in overlapping fields), but I was surprised to learn today how many of his Facebook friends are my friends from undergrad at @swarthmorecollege.bsky.social. Small world

Apparently I am “wear ear plugs in movie theaters” years old

Contacted Hulu to cancel my mom's account, and omg I think the customer service agent literally said every possible condolence/inspirational quote. I wish I had recorded it, it was a master class. 😆🤣 "I'm so sorry for your loss. Keep on truckin'..."

When we got engaged, we suddenly noticed jewelry stores everywhere (we shopped for rings together, after deciding to get married). Now, we see things like this everywhere. Relate to an eerie amount of this, including the family humor. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

After mom died yesterday, brother and I are honoring her by doing what would make her happiest: raiding her bookshelves

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

When the head of the FBI refers in a press conference to “the president’s brilliant leadership,” there’s little reason to have faith in anything else he says

Missing (or anyhow delaying) a proper Thanksgiving dinner this year because we’re sitting with mom in hospice. Brother and I are thinking maybe we’ll go retro and just get some TV dinners. 😊

Our response to "Visual attention in crisis" by @ruthrosenholtz.bsky.social is here www.cambridge.org/core/journal... And here is the author's response to all comments: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... I found the target paper very thought-provoking, and Ruth's responses are insightful. But...

Our commentary @stigchel.bsky.social on Ruth Rosenholtz' Visual Attention in Crisis paper is now available: doi.org/10.1017/S014... We argue that effort must be considered when aiming to quantify capacity limits or a task's complexity.

My Visual Attention in Crisis paper has finally appeared, along with 30 commentaries and response. I argue that it’s time to rethink attention from the ground up, and suggest key phenomena and possible directions. Requires access, alas. doi.org/10.1017/S014...

Digging today’s meme

Wild. The thing that makes this seem impossible, though is the 44% of people who claim not to have noticed Batman on the Milan metro, yet it influenced behavior.

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

What do other couples bond over if not silly science?

Listening to day-long talks, intending to do mostly brainless sorting of folders of other people's papers. Unsurprisingly, often struggling to sort papers into "Peripheral vision" vs. "Attention". Would probably be faster if I had a "Claims to be attention but might be peripheral vision" folder.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands By The Perimeter Fence and Screams for Thirty Seconds Before Vanishing Day to all who celebrate

That would definitely mess with birth rates

Thanks for the writeup, @benwolfevision.bsky.social 😁

EB White once explained how to end a sentence in 5 prepositions. A father heads upstairs to read to his kid before bed, and the kid says:

It’s grad school application season, and I wanted to give some public advice. Caveats: -*-*-*-* 
> These are my opinions, based on my experiences, they are not secret tricks or guarantees 
> They are general guidelines, not meant to cover a host of idiosyncrasies and special cases

A quick look at the bowels of the old place seems to suggest that Dick Cheney managed to make himself hated by everyone

I love this ridiculous mashup of olde english font and midcentury motifs, nothing says "colonial" like a multi-colored sputnik ball

New favorite song to drum to is Love Potion #9

Heddle is a word

Lyft to airport: driver has taken 4 wrong turns and we’re barely 2 miles from my house

Wow

Updating my LEGO White House

me: one problem w/Kant’s Categorical Imperative is life is chaos. You can’t predict stuff! How do you make up rules for things you can’t imagine? What if you wake up & the president has posted a video of himself pooping on people? students: haha that wouldn’t happen me: students: students: oh no

There’s going to be a giant, gold “TRUMP” sign on this at the end, isn’t there?

I spent way too long today looking for just the right image of a cluttered desk for a talk. And then realized —doh!— that of course there was no need to search the Internet when I could just go take a picture in my house

What the heck happened, oh, around about November-December?
