From 1) introspection is bad and unnatural to 2) it’s the fault of 1910s and 20s Vienna I wonder who he means by that, I bet he also has thoughts on the Frankfurt School too 🙄

I’m still in my 30s, I’m young 😭 I’m hip! 😭😭

Running a poll set where I only interview Americans who are members of the I Agree With Emissary Party and publishing my Everyone Agrees With Me article

lmao was not expecting @livagar.bsky.social to pull out the Berthold 1851 citation in the latest QAA

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

Menzingers coming on the shuffle the moment I step off the plane, home in Philly

Saw someone repeatedly use “inherit” instead of “inherent” the other day and it hurt me

“Never again” is meaningless if it doesn’t include this. There’s no reason to mince words other than cowardice: these are concentration camps and never again is now.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

You know what else died in the Middle East? The myth of Western humanity. Western leaders they’re just watching hospitals and schools in flames and children buried beneath rubble. I never want to hear any Western leader ever talk about human rights.

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

bring back shame (with material penalties)

It’s really fucked up! nauseating and enraging—

Who tf files a restraining order w the cops against another trans woman, esp a recently incarcerated trans woman?? Disgusting behavior

I got a girl who saw Zucker as a therapist to start HRT This one’s special 🥹

Why are some males caring toward infants while others are neglectful or abusive? I'm so pleased to share work that my colleagues and I @princeton.edu have just published @nature.com (an explanatory thread to follow!) (1/8)

lol I’m going in today to prep for slice experiments for the first time in like 2-3 years today, who knows what I’ll find

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

It took a hot minute, but I can finally share my new paper on evidentiary pragmatism in transgender health care! In it, I propose a new principle for evaluating scientific evidence based on the best reasonably achievable evidence, avoiding the ‘catch-22’ where trans care can never be justified.

Happy first Valentine’s Day with my wife 💛💖💛 @endoeartha.bsky.social

You ever stomp on some glass with your wife?!

Sometimes it’s the last week before something you really care about and need to put a ton of effort into and you’re getting up at 5a to the tune of grape caffeine

Grape news, everyone: the grape flavored sparkling water electrolyte and caffeine drink I got (100mg) tastes just like Grape Soda 🍇

I don’t usually remember dates on the Hebrew calendar, for better or worse — Tu Bshvat not withstanding But I do know I got engaged on 2 Kislev and married on 12 Shvat 5786 🥰 חג החתונה שלנו!

(severely misinformed) they have to give trans women epilepsy to remove their facial hair??????

the things is that evolutionary psychologists et al who promote a biologically essentialist (ie sexist and racist) view of humanity would be wrong and bad on their own terms without them spending all their private time hanging out chatting about torture with their rape daddy billionaire, and yet…

Wifed the fuck up

Hi, I married my wife today and have not been online and will not be online ☺️

This weeks Star Trek Academy really hits

Trying to squeeze in one more set of experiments today before the blizzard comes. Nothing like being a senior postdoc on job market 😅

“.. People take part in a rally on the day of a general strike to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's deployment of thousands of immigration enforcement officers on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota.” @reuters.com

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Can someone explain to me the difference bw ״איך מוז״ און ״איך דארף״? #yiddishsky

More than any other show of its time, Star Trek dared - still dares - to imagine something that feels impossible: in the future, leftists and scientists will be able to afford rent in San Francisco

this is very much not the core of the issue. we tolerate all sorts of biological advantages and disadvantages in sports. the real fundamental question here is: why is this one different than the others?

Erin Andrews Dark-Crystal-core is sending me.

Aren’t you the congressman?

Ohhhh I’ve wanted this for a while now to help me continue to learn my Yiddish — 100+ year old collection of Sholem Asch’s plays, including God of Vengeance and the first lesbian kiss in American theatre

I love teaching my cats to nose poke for food when they’re hungry ✨

after further consideration, I’m glad that Gen Z killed off skinny jeans

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
