@achrisman.bsky.social and I had a fun time on Brainpod www.nature.com/npp/podcast talking about Audrey's new paper looking at distinct populations of oxytocin neurons in the PVN with AJ Robison, Andrew Eagle and Chiho Sugimoto www.nature.com/articles/s41...
BREAKING
Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
Sen. Mike Lee isn't “based.” He’s actually just dumb.

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.
Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.
This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.
I’m being told that I have to come up with $25,000 in tariff fees for a needed scientific instrument.
When will we get to dump these stupid tariffs?

The IRS is being gutted under Trump — which is great news for any rich tax cheats who want to dodge what they owe.
And instead of fixing this, Trump is of course suing the agency for $10 billion dollars — which will come out of the taxpayers pocket.
The grift never ends.
Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz: “I have left X. That network is a place of hate.
“We are not vassals of Elon Musk or Trump.”
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Today President Epstein kicked off Black History Month by sharing a racist AI video of Barack and Michelle Obama.
It's not funny. He's a racist fascist pedophile who mocks murder victims and anyone who still supports him is pure evil.
Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM.
Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?
Seems 💯 accurate.
Absolutely packed house for the ICE out training in East Kensington tonight, put on by @riverwardsdems.bsky.social.
I’ll share out things I learn here.
I am proud to be part of a country that includes the brave citizens of Minneapolis.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How?
One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations.
Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
