Oh if those sulphur crested cookies are so bloody smart why do they have one of the worst calls in all bird-dom? Only bettered (worsered?) by the beautiful-looking but horrendous-sounding rainbow lorikeet

Have we moved from cog psych trying to claim Hinton as "one of us" to gladly leaving him to the cs crowd yet?

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

Researchers like @abeba.bsky.social have been warning about this sh*t for years. Going to be straight up racism

BREAKING: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EATS A LOSS IN 'SANDWICH GUY' CASE AS JURORS FIND DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

A defining photo of this administration

BUZZELL!

Why yes, yes I do...

Did Men With No Rizz Ruin the Workplace?

I do declare, these pale sweaty bestubbled Catholic converts really and truly do take the entire cake.

I mean I can understand people jumping to conclusions about this but clearly they know nothing about the relationship between FIFA and USSF. It's going to Gio Reyna www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Still think brain regions don’t exist? That everything is everywhere? That cell types don’t matter and that everything is a dynamical phase portrait? Wrong. Interconnected brain modules exist at the level of fine grained transcriptomics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Looks like a clean sweep in VA!

Desperately searching for all the "Here's how the Sandwich Trial will affect Dems chances today in VA and NY" pieces

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

For those asking for background - I was in Sudan twice this year and wrote about it www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

It's going to be funny when all the ex-AFL college punters find out about these

You told me you got a raspberry pie and I show up and it's little fucking computer?

I'm not sure why so many people love to retweet the stylized photos of The Mad Cow in his Nazi garb. He and his ICE mob get off on the publicity. Let them keep it for their own grubby little Signal groups

The Refurbished Lincoln Bathroom in the White House - Highly polished, Statuary marble

the term "what the absolute living fuck" gets thrown around a lot these days,

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Imagine this will get quite the spin. Regardless of how the authors draw conclusions "ie focus on issues supported by polls, except for things like abortion rights bc women" it is worth looking at the actual questions asked of the participants (see @kwcollins.bsky.social 's thread)

“A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe…”

Garrett County, apart from being the deepest fog pocket east of the Mississippi, is deep red and my guess is they'll just blame this on the Dems anyway

i mean i don't think you can separate any of this discussion from the fact that so many of the participants are men who clearly have hang-ups about their inability to perform a certain kind of blue collar masculinity

"It's a Goggomobil. That's G-o-g-g-o..."

I get that 13 is an awkward age, esp for boys. But why would you swallow up to 100 magnets in the first place? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

A lot of people have tried to come in and be steely-eyed engineers when it comes to drug discovery - y’know, get things acting rationally and on schedule for once. The track record for that approach has been. . . Unimpressive.

New from star grad student @m-meyer.bsky.social we wanted to study why delusions (and other beliefs) are so fixed. We turned to a generalization paradigm and the peak shift effect. Martin finds people with delusions over generalize causal relationships during learning: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Holy shit. So they gave him NIEHS bc they decided not to move another institute to NC. Like, they were thinking about it.

THEY GAVE HIM NIEHS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE TO BETHESDA

Running for office and revealing a giant back tattoo that just says WOMEN. Nobody can agree if it's good or bad

My only contribution to the nazi tattoo debate (jfc) is that you'd have to go to a special kind of tattoo parlour in Croatia to get that particular tat

Angel hair a close second, but the correct answer is linguine. Bullshit all the way

This is a very interesting use of cultural transmission methods to study origins of legislation

So the whole Centerville High School abortion scandal was all made up and surely Youngkin knew this when he made it a scandal wjla.com/news/local/f...

JOB! We are hiring a tenure track assistant professor in Psychology at GMU. Focus on computational cognitive/AI, to be part of the Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience program in Psych. @martinwiener.bsky.social is chair of the search, but I'm happy to answer more general questions about GMU/dept

This story is insane

I'm usually a fan of Wolfers though I sometimes disagree. Here though he is just flat out wrong - I assume he just hasn't taken the time to learn the debate about AI, which is a pity given his reach

RIP Ace Frehley. The coolest member of KISS as judged by the knock down argument ahead of my 10yo birthday where my friends and I dressed up as the band

Going to steal this as its perhaps the best example I've seen of why standardized effect sizes are terrible

When I was an undergrad, I saw a talk by Oliver Sacks about music. During the Q&A, someone asked Sacks if he thought science would reveal the deepest mysteries of art. Sacks (a rare humanist among scientists) said that he doubted it, at which Eric Kandel (the host) leaped up and grabbed the mic.

Hey Google is six shots of espresso, a can of coke, and a red bull too much caffeine for a day? Sure the walls are vibrating but all I want to do is curl up and sleep

Excited to share my new preprint. My work focuses on solitude, but I am not one to advocate for a "solitude theory"; psych has too many theories so one less would be good. So, what I did the past 2 yrs is talking to people, reading work outside of my literature, essentially to shop for a framework 🧵
