The Muppets Take SfN

Definitely not drunk or stoned enough to appreciate this opening ceremony

Stephen Grossberg explaining why he is both the Newton *and* the Einstein of the mind. Why not also the Lavoisier, Curie, and Darwin of the mind? 🙄

Digging through some old neurology papers for a review and while not new to me it's really friggin annoying that every second dude is named Head or Brain

I know he's not going to be impeached, but can we all just agree that at this point anyone who wouldn't vote for impeachment right this very second is 100% down for all this shit? None of this "mmnn needs to take that video down". No, they are all in. Let's just have clear minds and go from there

I've always been skeptical about considering the Winter Olympics part of the Olympics (it's like "vodka martini") but this might be the story that finally changes my mind www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Lots of advances in theta-burst TMS treatments in the last few years, esp SAINT for treatment-resistant depression. But some of the most interesting findings have been w hallucinations in schizophrenia, and some recent work including this with Parkinsons. As predicted, fMRI guidance is key

This just sums up where *Libertarian* thinkers (haha) were always at. Perfectly happy with paramilitary thugs murdering ppl, executive branch ignoring the constitution, immigrants kidnapped and sold to foreign countries. But if you come for the pedos, by god you'll get their fervent denouncement

THREAD. The definitive list of the absolute best interdimensional portals I have photographed on walks in the British countryside. 1. Gateway To The Land Of Leaping Dogs.

This is a good read. I'd passed off the cancer-AD link as something akin to the smoking-AD link (ie if you are 90 and a smoker you are bulletproof) but this sounds interesting

"And now, Rondo Alla Turca"

New Epstein files say that Steven Pinker was paid $10,000 to help Epstein’s defense (even though Pinker previously said he wasn't paid).

hey wanna see 39 seconds of perfect video editing?

Big mistake. I'm offline for most of the day and am just playing catch up on the shart story. I need instant reactions. Audio enhancements. NYT opinion pieces on why it's the Most Presidential Shart Ever

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Millions of UFC fans around the world very confused at the long close up of Steve Waugh before the Volk fight

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005. There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

No reason to contradict this. But also a lot of guys get something out of being close to others known to be real sick f*cks. Some sort of mutual dependence

It checks out.

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.' Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

For academics still paying attention, T the names "Nowak" and "Kosslyn" appear several thousand times in the new Epstein files dump. You can search at www.justice.gov/epstein

John Oxley points out the clear yet often overlooked point that young men 18-24 are the second most liberal, left-leaning group in society (after young women) - being more so than young-ish thirtysomething women, and older women, as well as than men in older cohorts

Meanwhile, if we drop the AI mumbo jumbo and focus on what new deep learning tools can actually produce...

As always this is really good. I agree that the issue of perspective is central to why LLMs will always fail at imitating creative activities. I think this is so much more important that the various uncanny valley-type arguments

The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Website: anniegbryant.github.io/subcortex_vi...

‼️This famous photo from the Minnesota Tribune on Jan. 21 is from this incident, involving at least three of the same agents from Alex Pretti's killing. Thanks to the people replying who tipped me off to this.

Er, so given the timing of the interaction and the heavy reliance on facial recognition by ICE/CBP it might be reasonable to suspect they knew exactly who Pretti was and shot him because of it? Is this what you are suggesting NYT?

The immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.

Really the only way Thomas Frank was going to outdo Ange was to finish both lower in the PL and higher in Europe

For 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown): larsonlab.github.io/MRI-educatio...

My "I don't! believe in Phrenology" tee shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my tee shirt.

finally a good dating app

Thomas Chatterton Williams furiously cut and pasting the one essay he recycles as a futile response

At the end of the (criminally underrated) series The Shield, Vic Mackey is alone, estranged from his ex-wife and kids, and all his closest friends are dead or in jail betrayed by him. Vic goes to work for ICE

Really getting the full temp spectrum talking to my mum back home where it was 45c/113f - she was even thinking of putting the AC on! - then waking up to 6f/-14c here

They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

Is this the first high profile firing of one of Trump's people? If Noem goes too this will be the first big crack.

call me a cynic, but the gisele fetterman welcome to the resistance thing feels like the "save melania" memes, like gisele is a cut above because she may or may not be conscience-posting, but she's still there with him

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

My grand theory of fascism and why it will always fail boils down to this. It is brittle, and if you dehumanize enough, you lose the capacity to attribute complex motives and goals to your opponent

Amplifying this. Post Davos there was plenty of (justified) trashing of the US from Europeans. Now time to put your money where your mouth is

There's got to be an up and coming reporter in DC with a phone who can get these assholes on video justifying their vote

Seriously. Any cub reporters out there from their districts want to go viral? Go out and get a "no comment" video from these cowards

As the false narrative of today's events from DHS start to spread it is important to read what actually happened

Curious where the gun is supposed to be in this video

Cc @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov

Just as a reminder as you are feeling angry and frustrated at today's events: don't post crimes

The GOP are going to live to regret that they successfully trained Americans not to be all that afraid of guns.
