A disconsolate Rod Dreher ordering one exorcism after another at his local in Budapest. A manager discreetly tells him that he's cut off and Dreher howls "just gimme the fucking rites" at the barback.

I generally try to motivate the undergrads about the things I cover in my decision making class (e.g. 'you WILL encounter the Sunk Cost fallacy in your life and recognizing it could save your butt'), but when it comes to counterfactuals I put this up:

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

the tennessee titans were dissolved in 2006

Always enjoy the misdirection from the Hornets on offense. They sprinkle in moving a guard from the block/corner up through the middle. Looks like Brandon Miller is going to set a backscreen for Williams, instead he curls off a stagger for 3.

i always knew jake actually hates cognitive science

We believe the reason deliberation has been ignored and deflated is that it involves consciousness, long a taboo subject. Consciousness has (after many battles) become a respected topic in science, but its scientific study is primarily conceptualized as the passive awareness of sensory signals. 8/

New preprint with @SamJung @timbrady.bsky.social and @violastoermer.bsky.social: osf.io/preprints/ps.... Here we uncover what might be driving the “meaningfulness benefit” in visual working memory. Studies show that real objects are remembered better in VWM tasks than abstract stimuli. But why? 1/

Amazing stat from Hornets bpb guy Eric Collins: Charlotte has six free-throw attempts tonight. All six of them were and-1s, by six different players. In true Collins fashion, he was so excited about this that he shouted it over to me during the TV timeout.

honestly feels unbelievable: Lindsay Vonn attempted and completed her training run today, a week after tearing her ACL, hitting a top speed of 74 mph. They haven't fixed her ACL, it's just flopping around in there. And her other knee is made out of titanium. Very literally built different
