LMAO! “Common confusion.” If I had a nickel for every time someone goes on about “The Bean.” No you are CONFUSED by his non-comedic (at the time) stylings into thinking that he was a sort of silent comic actor of the modern era. Classic Mandela effect.

Google AI hallucinated a show called The Bean that made James Spader famous

Ah yes, that is why he was known as James “The Bean” Spader, so synonymous he became with that very famous show that existed in 1995.

So the goal was regime change, just not what you thought. Get a younger, more hardline Khamenei in there then bail out. Cool plan.

And yet there are plenty of “legitimate” scientists that voluntarily go on @hubermanlab.com podcast implicitly promoting exactly this grift!

Recently, van der Stigchel and colleagues posted a provocative commentary suggesting that we should be wary of bots in online behavioral data collection (🧵by @cstrauch.bsky.social here: bsky.app/profile/cstr...). But should we? Here is my response letter osf.io/preprints/ps.... 1/5

V1 Receptive Field Mapping Lab (In-Person)

I haven't extensively debugged this yet but it's fun. Play as Hubel & Wiesel and determine the RF properties of a V1 neuron.

Distortions of space and time in and around objects and events

(Perceptual) space and time are warped by the gravity of objects and events in their vicinity. There's been a flurry of work recently documenting examples of this gravity, all resulting in some really neat illusions.

@brynnsherman.bsky.social and I discuss all of those, here:

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

One of the funniest, dumbest things I persistently see online as a dad of a toddler is that you should not tell a child “good job!” They don’t have a job, you see. It’s very confusing for them.
