its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

Wait until he reads this sternly written letter

Kaleb Horton Writing can be beautiful.

Recently saw this played live and there’s no way it’s outside the top 25

…substance at the national stage. Turns out promising people things like cost of living reductions or popular policies help win elections! Kamala waited until the last week (when polling must have looked bad) to cave on $15 min wage and legalizing pot. Way too little too late.

I don’t buy the Americans are stupid or Americans are racist lines of argument. Probably less so than most countries!

I think we have one party that appears authentic (Trump will at least tell you the discriminatory/regressive things his base wants to hear). Democrats refuse to say anything of…

Yeah does seem about the right number. Not that I trust Newsom, but does feel like the 4th largest economy in the world (bigger than Japan or India!) should have some options

People like Gates think they deserve to be kings. Since they’re not allowed, they make their foundations answer to them, essentially creating their own kingdoms with their largesse. Which is to say, I don’t trust them to do anything. Wealth tax or bust.

Yeah figured it was something big like that since UCLA is over $1b alone. But seems like plenty to carry us for three years and deal with next election when it comes

$21b bond sure seems like it would…

Hell yeah @markhisted.org

YouTube video by Civil Servants Coalition Mark Histed, NIH Scientist *speaking in personal capacity

Federal workers are speaking out on how the Trump regime is harming Americans:

"We stand here today at a moment of the greatest assault of our lifetimes on our freedoms. The US Constitution is being shredded... We are here to call on Congress to stand up and stop it."

…Let me say that again: Expert coders using "generative AI" demonstrated a nearly 20% *increase* in their time, vs when writing code on their own; oh, and those increases are *worse* on the tasks with which they have more familiarity.

But that's not even the crucial part; this is the crucial part:…

And maybe I could get him to send me $27 💰

Done. It’s insane, Dems caving on their morals for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This is not an issue anyone votes on! 26th our of 27 across age groups!

It’s a Fox News talking point that’s used to distract from Rs ushering in fascism. @ezraklein.bsky.social

Multi-sensory Control of Hippocampal Spatiotemporal Selectivity Virtual reality reveals how sensory cues differentially influence hippocampal activity, theta rhythm, place cells and phase precession

Thanks for the link. But yeah also see differing neural results in rodents in VR than real life m, suggesting vestibular/sensory cues necessary for “full” system engagement pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

at least it’s monday put on in the background at work football for us

Turns out it’s really easy to use AI after you learn hard skills

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

They’re probably bad students!

Behaviourally modulated hippocampal theta oscillations in the ferret persist during both locomotion and immobility - Nature Communications Cross-species research is key to fully understanding brain function. Here, the authors present the ferret as a species for hippocampal research and show that, in stark contrast to rats, ferrets have r...

And the person I’m usually discussing this with published this paper showing persistent theta during immobility in ferrets www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So we always try to imagine what mechanisms persist throughout other models/humans and which we’re not as sure

We’ve asked this question to ourselves several times when seeing impressive rodent results like yours. I mean, it’s *possible* humans learn worst at rest? I dunno if it’s been studied much, but certainly staying active helps memory. I’d guess the effect is much more pronounced in rats though

Semi silly but semi serious question: doesn’t this imply that rats struggle to generate memories when moving and struggle to learn when at rest?

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

It’s insane. I thought she might be Mormon or something since how could a politician possibly make it so obvious?

Twitter Thomas Chatterton Williams It is unconscionable * Tim Urban & @waitbutwhy• 1h Every post on Bluesky is celebrating the assassination. Such unbelievably sick people.

they just decide what they think we’re like and proceed as though

"“It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”"

Murdering someone for the 'offense' of trying to retrieve their brother's body is..beyond monstrous

and the horror is compounded by the risk of identifying it as such: The reporter "asked not to be named because Israel has killed at least 189 journalists in Gaza"
