Someone needs to ask Trump if they’re being “fair” to former Prince Andrew.

Incredible. Thanks for the thorough reporting. I work way ass downstream in a clinic and it’s amazing to see what will reach us in 20 or 30 years…

Such great stuff. Of course the body talks to itself! I’m glad we’re finding ways to measure…

I have a gut feeling he’s right…(had to, apologies)

‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the King’s brother In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy a...

"Virginia Giuffre died by suicide on 25 April 2025."

"I’d show up, perform whatever sex acts Epstein wanted, then hang out beside his vast swimming pool while he got some work done. If Maxwell was there, I was often told to attend to her sexually as well."

- She was 16

Damn, they are both so good. But the first one has a broader resonance.

"Labeling beliefs--as opposed to actions--as suspicious or criminal is antithetical to the First Amendment and betrays American pluralism."

Well said. The whole point of the American experiment has been to see if we can self govern under an ‘all beliefs are welcome’ banner. That only becomes problematic when we surf the margins for our differences and make them central.

Everybody knows we all make money from home by running Antifa as a side project. In all seriousness, I’ve lived in PDX since 1992. It’s mostly a chill place where we take care of each other. Can we just get back to not letting our beliefs draw such sharp lines? Love should be easy.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

“Oregon is our home. Keep troops off our streets.”

Maybe we should all just register our own Antifa LLC’s and non-profits…

Very interesting work! The analogy is that of symptomology being scattered shotgun pellets, whereas maladaptive inference can explain seemingly unrelated outcomes…

Sounds about right to an outsider looking in to the field, lots of explanatory power in maladaptive inference.

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

Trump administration sues Oregon to force it to turn over full information about every state voter "I look forward to seeing them in court," Oregon's secretary of state said.

Oregon has been the national leader on vote-by-mail for decades. Now Donald Trump thinks he can undermine our elections for his own benefit. Hell no.

Don’t threaten Portlanders with a good time. There’s a reason we’re up here in the corner.

Everybody wins! Everybody loses! Everybody draws!

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Yes please! I work at a dementia care facility in Portland Oregon, our folks would love it! I would read it aloud in the dining room.

I also work at a care facility for elders with dementia. This is a great idea, our folks would love it! I can’t buy a subscription but if a kind soul wanted to I’d be very grateful. It’s deeply rewarding work, and we need all the help we can get. Please reach out if this fits, many thanks!

The clinical gaps between psychiatry and psychology are sometimes huge, and folks with dementia and MH diagnoses are living longer, so taking stock is continually necessary. Thank you!

Do Naturalistic Emotional Facial Expressions Catch Our Eye Like Posed Ones? We know that people tend to notice emotional faces—like smiling or angry expressions—more quickly than neutral ones. But most research showing this uses “posed” faces: actors in a lab deliberately sho...

Do naturalistic emotional facial expressions catch our eye like posed ones? 👀😀😠😐

This was my first, first author paper which was published in Emotion - Kudos have done a wonderful job of helping spread the world to a wider audience! #faces #affectsci 🧵1/ (Pls share!)

@nicolecrust.bsky.social Your episode with Paul was so good. Packed but accessible, humble about our collective ‘epistemic iteration’ from one era to the next…
You’ve inspired me to get back to finishing my book- updating the clinical hypnosis model via the landscape you described so well.

@nicolecrust.bsky.social really enjoyed your podcast w Sean Carroll. I work downstream with dementia patients and want you to know that we appreciate researchers! It does impact the bedside.

Drawing from a photo is one thing, drawing a glass of water refracting light takes the exercise to the next level. It’s a pretty standard drawing foundations exercise, because it teaches you how to see.

You Can't Pardon America's Way Out of Trump's Assault on Rule of Law - emptywheel You can't pardon your way out of Trump's attack on rule of law. It's going to take much harder work than that.
