Neuroscientists: which films do a pretty decent job in being scientifically accurate when it comes to the brain (including sci fi grounded in neuroscience)? I’m making a watchlist!

OMG! i love it 😍

Oh, build a *big* Dyson sphere, why didn’t I think of that? Please take all of my money

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

This you?

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

Correct. This was an easy test for media outlets and many of them failed horribly. No need to give them yet another chance.

how the fuck is it possible to be this bad at drinking coffee

You know the old joke. What do you call 9 polite Germans having a nice dinner with a Nazi? A Nazi and nine people who create the feeling of safe harbor for far-right elements who unabashedly or in coded language express antisemitic sentiments.

Excited to share on my first post on Bluesky our new paper in NHB examine the innate and developing aspects of the wiring of the visual system. Congratulations to @emilykubota.bsky.social and the baby MRI team on this important work

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

Over on LinkedIn, we have reached peak LinkedIn. Moments away from it becoming “L” or something

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

This might be the most satisfying thing I have ever seen 🤣

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Please welcome @jonroiser.bsky.social to Blue Sky! I am sure he would fit right in on some nice neuroscience, computational psychiatry, and psychology start packs! #neuroskyence #psychscisky

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Ambushed by … mercy. This aggression must not stand.

My heart goes out to all the grown children who have had to figure out how to install wifi extenders for their parents so they can see the full complement of Ring cameras they’ve installed around the perimeter of their home in suburbs with crime rates of zero

It's a little bit of extra faff, but adding -AI to the end of the search term in Google gets rid of the LLM results

Situation: There are 65 unknown drones in the sky "Ridiculous! I need to go investigate this myself! Better send my drone!" Situation: There are 66 unknown drones in the sky

one of the wildest things about the scope of the internet is that not only are there people like this there are entire genres of fandom that have an enormous following that you’ve probably never heard of

Writing tip: Write words in the order you intend them to be read, not in alphabetical order. 21st century readers don't have the attention span to assemble a story from its alphabetized words. These are no longer the days of Dick Moby, Heights Wuthering, and And Peace War.
