It's very strange that this is being covered as a funny story about the president of France having to call POTUS about not being able to get to his motorcade. Reverse the rules with our president in any other country and I'm sure it would be covered in a completely different way.

So he admits it wasn’t about Kirk. It’s just about silencing Democrats . They are paying him off and he made sure to do it right before Kimmel came back on to try and spoil his speech. While he is still off . Let them cancelations stand

Former DACA recipient dies in ICE custody after being hospitalized

If your local ABC station is owned by Sinclair/Nexstar (as mine is), you can't watch Kimmel’s return on TV tonight. Now would be a great time to do this ⬇️ - I did a bit before, but will be making a full list Fri/this weekend of who advertises on my local station's news, so I can call them next week.

When teams go through transitions, their brains respond like travelers stuck in an airport: time distorts, anxiety spikes, identity becomes unclear. Leverage psychology in transitions Read the full framework bit.ly/4291NJ1 #Leadership #ChangeManagement #Psychology #WorkplaceCulture #TeamManagement

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

If you've got some free time you should call their advertisers

Was talking to my MD spouse about the Tylenol-autism kerfuffle. Her take was insightful. Now, pregnant women with fevers will be afraid to take Tylenol to stop their fevers. And ironically, it's the fevers that might be responsible for fetal neurological maldevelopment.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Related to my last post, if there is research about any divergent group that you want to keep, you should download it ASAP

Correlation does not equal causation. Autism, simply a different brain structure and not a disease needing a “cure,” was discovered in 1906 with the first formal diagnosis occurring in 1911. Tylenol was made in 1950. This post is about RFK Jr trying to vilify moms and harm autistic kids and adults

Tylenol does not cause autism. Autistic kids do not need to be cured. Okay thanks bye.

ICYMI, the new episode is about how liminal spaces impact us psychologically #AcademicSky #PhDSky

🎙️ Just published a new episode of PsyberSpace: Stuck in the In-Between: The Psychology of Liminal Spaces 📣 Reply to let me know what you think!

People abroad are canceling Disney in solidarity.

HI CANADIANS ARE YOU ANGRY ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK’S FURNERAL ON CBC? Yeah, me too. The guy who’s helmed CBC during this pivot to the right is [email protected]. Complain to the CRTC, the government division responsible for overseeing the CRTC about what was ostensibly KKK rally: www.crtc.gc.ca

Tried to cancel Disney+ today and after 20 minutes of being sent in a circle and 2 websites then back to the same page, with no option to cancel, I gave up. But I’m not giving up. Don’t give up. Disney is making it really difficult to cancel.

Whatever happens at tomorrow’s announcement by RFK Jr, know this: autism spectrum disorder is not caused by one thing, and I refuse to let mothers be shamed for taking Tylenol during pregnancy.

The more LLM AI / Generative AI people shove into our digital tools the worse the tools get. Add in Agentic AI and it is hell trying to get anything done these days. We need a way to OPT OUT. Heck, make it opt out on deployment and force people to intentionally opt in.

Whelp, looks like I'm going to be deleting my information. Fellow academics, you might consider doing the same. #AcademiaSky #AcademicSky

Incredibly insightful and informative thread from one of the infectious disease experts who resigned in protest from the CDC after director Susan Monarez was fired. Give him a follow and all the flowers he deserves 💐

I literally barked at someone who was excited about “shifting the dialogue” And I’m like no. Yall just don’t want to talk about why you won’t accept NO

Just a reminder that a staggering number of Black women have also lost their jobs due to capitulation to this administration. That deserves more outrage.

LOL this is after ESPN just closed the WWE deal for a billion . I love it

More than a dozen elected officials were arrested in or around 26 Federal Plaza in New York City, where ICE detains people in what courts have ruled are unsanitary conditions.

My state has 9 recognized political parties, BUT is also a closed primary state (so annoying). The closed primary kept me registered Dem long past my tolerance for their BS. After their unanimous "holiday" vote this week!? Moved parties to WFP. I've had enough of their slide to the right.

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Winner of mRNA Nobel Prize says ACIP member’s claim that Covid vaccines persist is “absolutely impossible” In Q&A, Drew Weissman says vast literature shows Covid shots are safe, refutes claims from Retsef Levi www.statnews.com/2025/09/20/d...

Bring back investigative journalism that doesn't wait for official permission or official access passes to look for the truth power is trying to hide.

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

Yes! This forgetting is the paradox of progress, and I talk about it in this episode of the podcast: psyber.space/episodes/the...

Many signs in Hebrew with slogans like: Stop the War, Refuse, Out of Gaza etc

I talked on MSNBC today about the corruption playing out at the FCC. This isn't just about Jimmy Kimmel being silenced. The FCC is planning to change the rules to allow the company that shut down Kimmel to have a monopoly-like stake in local TV ownership.

Bringing back this episode from last year on the psychology of complying in advance. Seems appropriate this week. psyber.space/episodes/inv...

Here ya go. Pulled the references for ya, after the link jump. www.perplexity.ai/search/i-am-...

To all of the haters out there. Sarah has been right repeatedly. For years. Go back and read “Hiding in Plain Sight.” Or listen to old @gaslitnation.bsky.social episodes. lt’s all there. As are the warnings about what today would look like.

I am not a sports knower but this seems like good information to give to the sports knowers in your life!!!!

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Feels like we're seeing what it's like to live through natural selection. We learn about it as if it's a benign process, but nature is often violent. What if we're simply viewing the traits that harm society that are being selected out (lack of empathy, misogyny, etc) trying to resist the process?

This reminds me of the study where autistic participants would make the ethical choice even if no one was watching, while allistic participants would only make the ethical choice while someone was watching, making the less ethical choice if that person left the room. I'll try to find the link.

Conservative news host talks about shooting homeless people. Makes non apology "apology" Two days later someone shoots up a homeless encampment in Minneapolis and kills 8 people. He has his job. Funny talk show host makes joke that harms no one, loses show. Now's the time to rally behind the 2nd guy

Bringing back this episode from last year on the psychology of complying in advance. Seems appropriate this week. psyber.space/episodes/inv...

As I predicted when I first joined BSky during the invitation-only era, it is a problem that there’s no way to go private or to hide your block/follow lists

In some good news: Portland opened an investigation into the permits for the 🧊 facility here after many violations on the part of 🧊

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

The fascists have just about captured all of the legacy corporate media, either through ownership or through intimidation. It's up to y'all now to turn to and support independent and nonprofit media if you hope for any semblance of a free press to survive in America.
