"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

they just decide what they think we’re like and proceed as though

"“It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”"

Murdering someone for the 'offense' of trying to retrieve their brother's body is..beyond monstrous and the horror is compounded by the risk of identifying it as such: The reporter "asked not to be named because Israel has killed at least 189 journalists in Gaza" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Bringing Hamas to the table to negotiate -> they are killed Bringing Hamas to the table to negotiate -> they are killed Bringing Hamas to the table to negotiate -> they are killed Bringing Hamas to the table to negotiate -> they are killed I don't understand why Hamas doesn't release the hostages?!

Approval of interracial marriage only passed 50% in, yes, the mid 1990s. news.gallup.com/poll/354638/...

Incredible clip of tech CEOs fawning over Donald Trump. Someone store this clip in the underground archive vault

The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

I think I've positioned NZ in its diametrically opposite location on the globe. Oban on Stewart Island shares coordinates with a town just south of Innsbruck. And Auckland on the same latitude as Gibraltar. 90 mile beach is opposite Tunisia and I am opposite Genoa. ... I think. Thetruesize.com

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Excited to present our new work reading minds! Ok, not *that* kind of mind reading, but we have created a deep learning method capable of using single neuron recordings from people watching episodes of TV that can predict when they recall specific memories from the episode. 1/6

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Israel marked this journalist a “terrorist” because he cried on camera at Israel’s starvation of his people. And then they killed him. And if you pay taxes in the US, your politicians made you fund this abject evil.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Cops get half a city's entire budget and and they rob, via asset forfeiture, literally more than burglars do. Similar to how employers steal more money in wages than all robbery and burglary combined, except you're also forced to pay them 168+ hours overtime a week boingboing.net/2020/12/21/u...

BETO TO DEMS: “We don’t wait for the punch thrown by these would-be fascists to land. We punch first, and punch harder… CA, NJ, IL, MD — redraw your lines now. Don’t wait for Texas to move first.”

im old enough to remember that ucla is where they let pro-israeli counterprotestors attack student activists with blunt instruments and explosives. and now ucla is being told to pay a billion for antisemitically not doing enough to crack down on those student activists

merrick garland had the biggest layup in history and not only missed it but somehow went careening into the stands, broke his neck, and in a final spasm kicked the ball all the way across the court right into the opponent's net

I'm not kidding about this, a DOJ that trotted out a new scammer, CEO, or corrupt politician every month that they are prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law, would, I suspect, keep the president's approval ratings in the stratosphere. especially once the convictions or pleas roll in

This is unfortunate: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u... I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

Tell all your friends that ole Ryan is once more looking for freelance writing / research / editing work

Voters consistently rank trans issues last in their priorities. Multiple focus groups have found that the biggest problems Democrats have is seeming inauthentic, chasing polls rather than fighting for things they believe in.

Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️

For every 1 animal used in research, there are hundreds to thousands used for food. Research animals globally: Estimated 50–100 million/year (most are mice, rats, and fish). Animals killed for food globally: Over 70–80 billion land animals per year, plus trillions of fish.

Operation Excalibur is some Archer-assed 🚮

We are going to see a lot of ppl claiming, understandably, that the BBB has now provided Trump w a massive ICE army. That is incorrect. It has provided him with the funds to TRY. A 2017 DHS-OIG report said ICE would need to interview 500,000 ppl to get 10,000 new hires. Not easy!

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

We cannot let this man become mayor

Amid all this terrible behavior, this letter is humane, honest, and clear. Any politics that we build to push back against this stuff is best served by this kind of candor and clarity.

That "Aha!" moment... Can sleep facilitate memory reorganization? @nicoschuck.bsky.social @anikaloewe.bsky.social @maritpetzka.bsky.social &co reveal that N2 #sleep (but not N1) increases likelihood of having an 'aha' moment about a previous #DecisionMaking task @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4k8F2v3

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

louder for the people in the back

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

Bushwick So sick! Park Slope So dope! Crown Heights All night!

leftists are consistently labeled as out of touch extremists, but there isn’t a single prominent left position this unpopular

Trying to do the whole half-decade Iraq War discourse in 72 hours.

Bluesky isn’t real life but five million people turned out for #NoKings. That’s a genuine movement, and if a politician can’t capture that momentum and lead the country to a better place they should follow a better leader, or get out of the way.

Strong feeling that Democratic leadership are DRAMATICALLY underestimating the desire amongst Democratic voters to punish the ICE thugs that are doing this. Voters want accountability, and this is going to boil over into D party fracture if @schumer.senate.gov keeps trying to ignore it

It’s kind of insane that State governments are having to pay to defend their citizens from the roving kidnapping gangs of the Federal government

preprint alert 🚨 1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

We're excited share our perspective on whether you only use 10 bits/s of your brain.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

LOL Hegseth ain't paying. Right now all they're talking about on military forums is how the deployments are broken up into 29 day blocks so DoD doesn't have to pay them active duty benefits INCLUDING no allowance for housing. Bring these dudes some cold water. They'll keep ICE off your back.
