Trump just won’t release it.

Psychedelic 5-HT2A receptor agonism alters neurovascular coupling and differentially affects neuronal and hemodynamic measures of brain function - Nature Neuroscience Padawer-Curry et al. show that the hallucinogenic 5-HT2A receptor agonist DOI alters neurovascular coupling in mice, with implications for the interpretation of human fMRI studies of psychedelics.

Psychedelics alter neurovascular coupling, which means we need to critically re-evaluate fMRI findings of acute psychedelic effects

Inventing Antifa In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.

Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

surely this is a cue for common sense queuing.....

@lheelas.bsky.social really enjoyed Friday's session - will keep you posted on any outcomes measure 👍

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

This is interesting, and has been for some time. I wrote about it for The New Yorker some way back.

Making molecules with superheavy elements could shake up the periodic table – Physics World New atom-by-atom technique demonstrated for the first time with nobelium might ensure that elements at the bottom of the table are grouped correctly

The first nobelium-containing molecules ever made + directly identified could herald a shake-up at the bottom of the periodic table as scientists reassess the physical phenomena that give heavy and superheavy elements their chemical properties. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/making-mol...

Street art sticker of the character E.T. placed on a stone wall, cleverly aligned with a red metal fire hose fixture so that the two circular outlets resemble E.T.’s large eyes. The setup transforms the fixture into the alien’s head, while the drawn body shows his wrinkled skin, long arms, and glowing finger.

Urban walls, sidewalks, and even utility meters are the unlikely canvases behind this clever collection of genius street art. From an illusion of a zebra being striped to a sidewalk creature with a real rock for a head, these eight works turn... 👇

They'll live at "South Bark"....need to work on the title, sounds like a total other show

I have to say it bothers me that people like, say, my parents, who get their news from the BBC and the Telegraph (look, I've tried so hard, OK?), will have no idea that the US has become an authoritarian state. The media landscape is seriously broken.

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."

My advice to Sam Altman: read Jacques Derrida | The Observer The bold claims made about the new version of ChatGPT are yet more big tech hyperbole

Glad to see that the ever excellent John Naughton agrees that we are simply confused when we equate the abilities of LLMs with knowledge or intelligence. And that Sam Altman is either deluded or dishonest.

Medieval Hummus Recipe The roots of this recipe, an ancestor of modern hummus, date back at least as far as the 13th century, as the Iraqi food historian Nawal Nasrallah writes on her blog, My Iraqi Kitchen As adapted by Lucien Zayan, a Frenchman of Egyptian and Syrian descent who runs the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn, you boil chickpeas until their skins loosen and they reveal themselves, tender little hulks with souls of butter Then you mash them in a swirl of tahini, olive oil, vinegar, spices and herbs, and fold in a crush of nuts, seeds and preserved lemon, sour-bright and tasting of aged sun

This hummus recipe, first written down in the 13th century, has an enduring simplicity — but no garlic.
