Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.

One of the deepest, most heartfelt articles on #aphantasia I’ve ever read. And very up-to-date. With lots of detail about the history of the discovery process, going back much further than I’d known.

Unfortunately, behind a paywall. Well worth it, though. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Starship Test Flight #11 as close to perfection as it gets on all aspects, including testing out a tight twisting final approach path before landing on a dime in the Indian Ocean. Next step, Starship Catch!

#WTA Wow. Very excited to watch the Wuhan final. Can’t believe the betting odds favor Coco, though. Sure, she’s higher ranked and has the flashier game but Jessie is so calm and steady-tough, like stainless steel. I’m predicting another win for Three-Sets-Jess.

Wow. Very excited to watch the Wuhan WTA final. Can’t believe the betting odds favor Coco, though. Sure, she’s higher ranked and has the flashier game but Jessie is so calm and steady-tough, like stainless steel. I’m predicting another win for Three-Sets-Jess.

#WTA Pegula in set 3 semi final Wuhan! Amazing calmness, coming back from 2-5 down! Jessie Three Sets!! 8 in a row!

Still can’t even search within a custom feed. Reddit 101.

Seems #ATProto / Bluesky use and adoption has stalled out. Is anyone talking about this issue? Are there any viable options for growing the base?

#WTA Has anyone noticed how much nicer is Hawkeye’s “Out” voice at the China events compared to the west?

Set 3, 3 all, high level tightrope act for both. Who wants it more? Pegula or Noskova? WTA is the best!

Why is TC not airing the WTA semi final? Instead they’re showing ATP? WTF?

Given that all 4 men’s slams went to just 2 players who were also the finalists in 3 of the 4 (with only 1 other player as finalist in the other slam) I’d say you are understating by a huge margin. WTA slams went to 4 different players, with 5 competing as finalists.

Well, that double bagel got flipped completely only 7 weeks later. I rest my case.

So proud of her, already! Mid way through set 1, she’s held at love twice while she’s gone deep into every one of Iga’s services.

She doesn’t even need to win a set. All she needs to do for tonight to be a success is to keep it close.

Will Amanda change her story? Tonight is such a golden opportunity for her, so soon after such a devastating loss. She has shown amazing resilience. My fingers are crossed for tonight.

Definitely the WTA is more interesting to watch. Titles go to a much broader group, and clashes between top 20 players more likely to be close and competitive.

Wow. Best 69th birthday I could have imagined. Thanks.
— Remember, today, everyone you meet has a hidden life story full of experiences you probably can't imagine. Each of us is a carefully wrapped bundle of mysteries, both dark and wonderful, just waiting for someone brave enough to peek inside.

Such an odd thing — racists never think they’re racist, misogynists never think they’re misogynists, abusers never think they’re abusers, and narcissists never think they’re narcissists — even when everyone else can see it so clearly. It’s just so baffling.

Vapor ware—there is not one agent available that can freely roam the Internet to shop for something. There are narrower tools tied to sales platforms.

You mean, you can’t handle so much excitement?

She’s finally growing into those extra big paws she had as a “pup.”

#WTA Raducanu going toe to toe with the #1 is so good for the sport. Very exciting night for the tennis world, even if she doesn’t win the match. So entertaining. Both are playing such steady high level tennis.

Sadly, not a single dem seems to have a clue how even just to begin, let alone turn the tide. And it’s beginning to look pretty bad over here in the EU as well. Soon there won’t be a single democracy left standing.

It is what often follows when you’re afraid to put criminal politicians behind bars. Trump should have been locked up when they had the chance.

DOGE has the keys to sensitive data that could help Elon Musk In at least seven major departments or agencies, DOGE secured the power to view records that experts say could benefit Elon Musk’s businesses for years.

Raise your hand if you think Musk willingly gave up or was forced to give up the vast access to US government data troves he had when still working with DOGE?

Yeah, thought so... neither do I.

American Jewish community is foolish to support Trump, mistaking him using Israel as a cudgel against liberals for actual support of Jews. They will be next in his sights when it’s no longer convenient.

It’s not free speech. It’s “free speech” if they like what you say but it’s “annihilating wokism” if they disagree. It’s “anti-semetism” if you’re against Israeli genocide of Palestine, but not if you’re “only” promoting genocide against American Jews.
