The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

its wild to me that often the main divide between neuro and psych PHD programs is whether you work with animals or humans, esp since neuro stipends tend to be quite a bit higher

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

The basal ganglia output is often framed as a motor gate: corticostriatal circuits select an action, then GPi/SNr-thalamus helps release it. In humans, we find this same pathway carries cognitive variables embedded in movement signals—and even produces learning-relevant signals after feedback. 1/10

just saw the bad bunny halftime show. It was everything I wanted to see & more growing up

it hurts to see something so beautiful — as if pulled straight from my soul — be met with such vile hate from the leaders of the country I was born & raised in

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This is such a common thing at top tier programs, especially if you don’t come from a traditional background. I applied to 20 programs between 2019 and 2021. 5 interviews, one offer.

Now I don’t think I could've landed a better place

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Person: say, i am alive. Computer: I am alive. Person: oh my god.

Official concedes 8-year-old who died in U.S. custody could have been saved as devastated family recalls final days The parents of 8-year-old Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez told CBS News that their daughter died in Border Patrol custody because of negligence and discrimination.

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia

You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge

Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

idk about yall but Texas and Oklahoma universities are very quickly turning themselves into institutions I wouldn’t do research for

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

The self defense claim is batshit. Even if the car was coming at him - which it wasn’t - the best self defense is to get out of the way

Shooting a car doesn’t stop it moving, and as the clip clearly shows, if anything it directly lead the car to accelerate into another car!

The way ICE officers approached the vehicle involved in today's shooting was counter to their training, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News. The official said ICE officers are trained: — never to approach a vehicle from the front; — to approach vehicles or possibly armed people in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire; — not to shoot at a moving vehicle; — only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death. ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.

This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.

I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Damn them all

Star Tribune identifies ICE agent who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis Jonathan Ross was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to court records.

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Renee Nicole Good was 37 - A U.S. citizen - and a poet — her wife watched her be murdered and is now a single parent to a 6 year old

This regime has been defined by the endless tragedies it’s caused — we owe it to the victims to fight for the accountability they 💯 percent deserve

Arrest the shooter. Immediately.

Minnesota law enforcement have video from multiple angles of an unjustified deadly shooting in Minneapolis. Therefore, they should arrest and prosecute the shooter for murder. The fact that the killer is a federal agent should not alter that basic logic. If anything, charging is even more important.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Horrifying, don’t let this go

but he knows it’s his own damn fault

Hold up, let’s be precise. It wouldn’t kill the AI industry, it would only affect the LLM and gen AI part.

other “AI” models dont abuse the lack of copyright laws for training models the way LLMs and gen ai do, so most of the industry will be just fine (deepfold, self driving cars, etc)

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.
