Moving on from Graham Arnold was the right thing for the Socceroos, but huge congrats to him and the Lions of Mesopotamia for making it to the World Cup www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer...

The curse of Lucas Neill strikes again. Ciao bella 😘

My new obsession is ggsegSchaefer for plotting stat maps of our preferred brain parcellation atlas. So easy to customize, manipulate, and make pretty (...even if my general aesthetic tastes remain questionable).

I mean, his password is KA$Hman69 how hard could it have been?

Have you read this? www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

New paper in PNAS! When the mind wanders, it often drifts to the body. We call this "body-wandering". These thoughts are often negative, but are associated with reduced ADHD & depression symptoms, driven by a distinct interoceptive-allostatic brain signature. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2520822123

How could you write this and not mention the words "Monster Mash" even once?

Thirty eight f*cking years old. If you joined the green berets, there was no way you'd ever get above colonel.

This is a cool paper, esp if like me you've been impressed by ME data but irritated by the re-emergence of concerns about "the always controversial GSR"

woof this episode of #ThePitt had my heart rate high enough i need to go the pitt

If Australia's not in for a US war, that kind of says it all.

I thought OBAA was the better of the nominated movies I saw (haven't seen MS or SV). But its major flaw was the turd of a performance by Sean Penn. Just a clown show...

I think tonight might officially be the night I got the fuck over Active Inference. Link related, but not the direct cause. www.argmin.net/p/at-least-i...

Jurgen Habermas, philosopher and German, European public intellectual has died, aged 96 (Spiegel) www.spiegel.de/kultur/philo...

I think a bunch of teams are going to watch the second half of Brisbane against the Swans. Numbers at the contest. Flood everyone into defensive 50. Slow chip kicks forward. By round 8-10 the AFL might regret these rule changes

I think Fodor & Pylyshyn's 1988 paper is possibly the most mischaracterized paper in the history of cognitive science. It's often cited as arguing that neural networks cannot achieve systematicity, compositionality, and productivity. But that's not what they actually argue...

Not for nothing but what is happening in this paper diverges dramatically from anything having to do with “artificial intelligence” as such

More North Korea sh*t

people often ask me about my approach to impact and change. there’s also a common — though rarely stated —assumption that ai auditors or critics should work with developers/vendors to drive concrete changes... product retraction, guardrails, mitigations, etc... 1/

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Scotland looked good against England but tbh unless it's Australia Eng look poor against anyone. This game though? Wow. France look like a rabble right now

Sacre bleu!

An important read for psych/cog sci/neuro ppl too, although our methods debate has been on slightly different terms. H/t @mjcrockett.bsky.social

Made it to Friday but at what cost

Oof. Didn't really think Spurs would go down but after this display I can't see them surviving

Holy...

This is the first crack, right? If I was Lutnick I'd be a bit nervous

Fired like a dog

BREAKING: U.S. Central Command is now saying internally that this war against Iran is likely to last through September, per POLITICO

One was an engineer who worked on CSIRAC. The other had a haberdashery, and would go door to door to sell undies to the Greek and Italian migrant women. Some underworld connections too I suspect given his links to a certain football team. Go Blues btw!

Wouldn't be 100% surprised if what actually happened was Trump slurred "I'm feeling like I am gonna have stroke" and bam here we are

No-one: No-one at all: Me: Hey let's go buy another thumb drive to install Ubuntu!

When you borrow some rash cream from RFK Jnr

you'd think MBS of all people would have had actionable insights into leopards eating faces

yeah I’m fine. doing great

The Anthropic/OpenAI/DoD thing made no sense at first. Now it makes perfect sense

Fuck every Trump voter forever.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

There was a period when a version of this was just called Saturday. These days I'd struggle with the beers but the rest is a breeze

Looking forward to reading this!!

the only nyt headline you should care about today:

I've been on a few search committees for different positions (academic and other) and the academic interview process is just orders of magnitude harder (and expectations way higher) for positions that pay considerably more, demand less time, and have much better job security
