Polymarket is just insider trading, but with a sign around its neck saying "not insider trading".

(That actor plays a major role in the games)

I had just been thinking to myself "It's odd they haven't introduced [faction] yet. Also odd they haven't found a role for [actor]." and lo and behold

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

Forever grateful that Kash Patel is spending all his time doing this shit instead of bothering with basic competence on behalf of the regime

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Matching sounds to shapes: Evidence of the bouba-kiki effect in naïve baby chicks Maria Loconsole1*, Silvia Benavides-Varela2,3, Lucia Regolin1 Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords “kiki” and “bouba” with spiky and round shapes, respectively, a phenomenon named the bouba-kiki effect. To explore the origin of this association, and whether it is unique to humans, we tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby domestic chickens (Gallus gallus). as a precocial species, chicks can be tested shortly after hatching, allowing us to control their pretest experiences. Similar to humans, both 3-day-old [experiment 1 (exp. 1)] and 1-day-old (exp. 2) chicks spontaneously choose a spiky shape when hearing the “kiki” sound and a round shape when hearing the “bouba” sound. results from naïve young animals suggest a predisposed mechanism for matching the dimensions of shape and sound, which may be widespread across species.

main fig from the paper showing the association between bouba/round and kiki/spiky in newborn chicks

the new paper on bouba/kiki in chicks is utterly compelling

canonical, elegant method from comparative cogsci & its partner in developmental science, ultra-simple design, ultra-clear effects, no need for fancy analyses, machine learning, or AI

it appeared in an appropriately badass venue (Science)

Rax King: ‘Men’s value gets lower the more times they wear that hat’

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

HELL YEAAAAAAAAAH

those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day

neo-liberalism doesn't fight fascism it enables it.

This comes two weeks after the Council of Europe banned conversion therapy.

The right wing and activist press like the nyt have worked hard to promote the false narrative that transphobic policies are sweeping Europe. They were pushing a lie. Europe speaks for itself

it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

pessimism of the intellect + optimism of the will

(Jokes aside I'm asking cause I've not done any warhammer stuff and 2 models for $5 sounds pretty tempting)

What is this from?

Yeah, let what is happening to Discord radicalize you against the encroaching of puritan fascism we are seeing in laws world wide.

The US, Canada and a good chunk of the EU like Spain are looking into making laws that will actively do the same for a more expansive area of the internet.

haha yeah she got so mad today lol got er big time anyway everybody back to work tomorrow's another day I suppose hey I liked the part where she perjured herself on video quick question is anything going to happen anything at all no not really and don't get my hopes up alright then thanks had to ask

an image flashed in my head of a discord exec seeing everyone get together in IRC in protest and rambling to himself like the grinch trying to figure out christmas: "they chat without exclusive unlock quests. they chat without memes. they chat without emojis, video chat, and streams."

I loved the series, but I wish they'd gotten a little weirder with the tuunbaaq design

The gamer side of me is so happy and the game developer side of me is so sad. This is exactly what I was imagining.

Game idea. Golf in giant mechs.mechanics. The ball is the size of the las vegas dome. The course obstacles are mountains, oceans, and cities.

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!

Of course if I'd watched the next episode they would've recapped the 2 minutes of relevant content I'd missed, but I didn't realize that at the time. I credit that after-school activity for radically altering the path of my life.

For a while when I was a kid I followed Dragonball Z every week after school, until one day I got home late and missed that week's episode. And being a small child I was like, well it's a story based show, I've missed important context, I gotta stop now, the rest of the show won't make sense.

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)
