The “finding out” era. None of these fools care until it affects them directly.

New Cognation episode! We're breaking down the Psychedelic Sciences Conference 2025 - great interview with UCSF's Balazs Szigeti about the "unblinding" problem in psychedelic research. Participants pretty much know if they got the treatment or placebo - which complicates how we interpret results. 🧠✨

Senator Padilla was not only manhandled out of a public press conference but also dropped to the ground and handcuffed.

Windsurf is down. Back to coding by hand. Almost like it's 2023. lol

The right wing's insistence that the protests are being "funded" by some mysterious entity is telling. They simply can't imagine that people would take action for the greater good with no immediate opportunity for personal gain.

This is fucking bullshit. Harvey Milk was a damn hero. The cruelty is the point.

If you're into books or accessibility or rock 'n' roll or drugs or geniuses you'll enjoy our freewheeling conversation with Dr. Josh Miele about his new book "Connecting Dots: A Blind Life." Josh is good friend and a literal genius (with the award to prove it). Check out the pod and the book!

Cory Booker

And people wonder why the Democratic Party is so unpopular… how are they not able to put up someone who can beat Cuomo in NYC. That asshole shouldn’t be able to win a race for dog catcher.

The dog owner version of teaching your kids about Santa is convincing your dog that the crate spontaneously generates treats at unpredictable intervals

My model shows a 48% chance that new Liberal leader Mark Carney can prevail in Canada's upcoming elections. And I rank the best poutine burritos in Ottawa. All that and more in the next Silver Bulletin.

Are eggs cheaper yet?

What I learnt about how to solve every crime in different countries from procedurals: UK: fetch the cctv India: break down a door Norway: bring the sniffer dog Australia: ask about the family feud USA: read the case report 3 years later

Zelenskyy is a damn hero.

How you do you decide whether another entity deserves moral consideration? Are dogs worthy? What about ants? How many ant lives equal one dog life? How do you decide? We discuss this topic and his new book "The Moral Circle" with Prof Jeff Sebo @jeffsebo.bsky.social tinyurl.com/cognation-je...

Denmark wants to buy California? No need to break out the checkbook friends. We’re ready.

Kash Patel raised money for January 6 insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement. I asked him to look those officers in the eye and tell them he was proud of what he did. He couldn't.

ElOn MuSk Is a BUSINE$$ genieUS!!!

Why do we dream? Finnish neuroscientist and philosopher Antti Revonsuo has developed an intriguing evolutionary framework. According to his Threat Simulation Theory, we practice challenging, important responses to threats as we dream. We talk with Antti on the pod. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

On Trump’s birthright citizenship EO: “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades," Judge Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, said. "I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

One of my least favorite things is when people say global warming isn’t really because winter.

For those of you who read The Three Body Problem: we are entering a chaotic era. You may want to dehydrate.

I'll just leave this here. Never more applicable than today in a world where meglomaniacs are trying to rule, and we're allowing them.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts during the World Series have been banned from all MLB games.

It basically hasn't rained AT ALL in Southern California in 10 months. In some areas it literally hasn't rained a drop this whole water year. People are asking "what caused the fires?" The answer could not be more clear: man-made climate change.

I would like to get better at making really great introductions. I frequently connect people I've really enjoyed working with, and I want to convey how much the connection has meant to me without being cheesy, while keeping it relevant for both parties. Tips/tricks/suggestions?

My heart goes out to those impacted by the Pacific Palisades fires. It just hasn't rained at all in So Cal this year. Climate change is real. We need to take action NOW while there's still something left to save. ktla.com/news/califor...

Our first paper on our program supporting the mental wellbeing of people with life threatening illnesses just dropped. Great collaboration. Just scratching the surface. www.einpresswire.com/article/7745...

Our collaboration with UCSF, CiTiUS, Imperial, and Exeter just dropped. I'm proud of work we're doing supporting mental wellbeing in people with life-threatening illnesses. @robincarhartharris.bsky.social @leorroseman.bsky.social www.frontiersin.org/journals/vir...

Rule #1 of living with tyranny: Don’t obey in advance. I think what Ann Talnaes is brave for quitting the Post over her cartoon getting nixed because it showed the truth. What sacrifices will each of us have to make for freedom and dignity? anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Trying to use Midjourney to create a simple logo is the answer to the "Infinite Monkey Problem." Unfortunately, I only have finite time to work with.

Just Steph doing Steph things.

I’m getting every vaccine known to humankind just to spite RFK Jr. and Joe Rogan. I got 4 just today.

Got quadruple vaxxed today (COVID, flu, pneumonia, shingles). Feeling feeling like I am pretty much invincible at this point. Suck it RFK Jr.!

15 years old, but still completely relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we could be creating today would be a LOT better and easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Ricky was an absolute legend and the truest and best representative of the Oakland Athletics. Incredibly sad and also fitting that his passing coincides with the demise of the franchise. youtu.be/lssLGZH9fQM?...

It's that time of year where I post this one

There are Rabbits. And some of them are pissed off

It's not for nothing that we live on a hill #tsunami

The fact that this app doesn't own bluesky.com is extremely unfortunate for this app, and extremely fortunate for Blue Sky. They are going to make more off this url than their business ever could...

Can dreams be therapeutic?!?! We explore how one specific type of dreaming -- anesthesia dreaming -- is being explored for therapeutic benefit with Dr. Pilleriin Sikka, a Stanford neuroscientist and consciousness researcher. Fascinating conversation! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...
