Great opportunity to get up-to-the-date with the latest BCI developments.
Steven PInker, the Canadian cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, popular science author, public intellectual and personal friend of Alan Dershbag had no idea -none- that Dershbag and Epstein are/were child molesting pedophile rapists.

These type of people are America's only shot at ever being great. In other words, they are the opposite of empathy-free Donald Trump and his terrorizing Gestapo goons who are destroying our country. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...
He survived 36 surgeries — and stood before Europe to speak for Ukraine’s children.
11-year-old Roman Oleksiv, who survived the Russian missile attack on Vinnytsia, spoke at the European Parliament during a screening on Ukrainian children.👇
You think he treats Canada and EU as if they count?
And restored NIH/NSF funding.
Trump is to Putin what Susan Collins is to Trump.
They might as well threat to leave EU.
Message from Ukraine:
Thank you, Canada.
For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse.
You reminded us that we are not alone.
Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world.
And more like something worth staying alive for.

Fascism lost and Democracy won in Canada tonight. Bye bye Pierre Poilievre. 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦
From the Canadian Trump wannabe to possibly loosing his own Parliament seat. Thoughts & Prayers. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
This doctor’s letter to United Heathcare for denying nausea medication to a child on chemotherapy.
He doesn't care. Narcissism combined with lucrative hoax is his entire system of values.
The times have changed, but charlatans always find their niche.
When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.
When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.
Must be proud of his legacy.
The ultimate karma would be if the Supreme Court allows him to run in 2028, but Pence primaries him.
Not counting the nukes and navy, probably Poland. And for a good reason.
These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer.
Watch: they'll start vaccine *bans* within a year.

For all who voted for Trump because he was the “Peace Candidate” and Kamela was a warmongering “hawk”, hope you enjoyed his first 50 days.
Threats to Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Pamama & now, his Yemen attack.

@diamondn.bsky.social et al. find that sleep enhances memory for the order of events from an art tour, but not the details of the events. The sleep-related advantage for sequences persists for over a year. @brianlevine.bsky.social

Pierre Poilievre’s campaign manager, Jenni Byrne:
The amount of disrespect that Lex Fridman is showing to himself with this sycophantic self-promotional gibberish is beyond insane. It's so obvious who you are.
100%. To every European who needs this dumbed down, Ukrainian sacrifice is what keeps the Russian tanks and rockets thousands of kilometers from *your* kids bedroom.
'You are gambling with WW3' says the guy who casually talks about invading a whole list of countries to the guy who is defending his one and only.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin were lit up in the colors of the Ukrainian flag in a sign of solidarity.
