Y'all? Never again is now.

Twin cities resident here. Why is the NY Times using their resources to interview and write this article where rural people are bashing the Twin Cities. We are under invasion by ice agents. There was another shooting last night. People are getting dragged out of their houses. US citizens are being detained. They are pulling people over indiscriminately just because they look a certain way. There is so much bad stuff happening and the news is not even capturing the full extent. Please spend more resources covering this. Not interviewing people who do not understand what is happening. What is happening here is terrifying and needs to be the front page of every newspaper. National news does not seem to be getting it. All NY Times resources in Mn need to be spent on documenting the brutal behavior of the Feds. People need to understand what could be coming to them. Here in the Twin Cities I feel like we have been completely abandoned by government. Local governments are unable to stop the brutalisation of their residents. It is traumatic and it is institutional betrayal.

Read your comment section, NYT.

Happy start of the semester! Coming back from sabbatical and immediately facing a flood of student emails inspired me to repost this hack (I've used the accommodation letter one 10x already today).

STOP ICE TERROR! RALLY IN FOLEY SQ TELL KRISTI NOEM SHE SNOT WELCOME HERE! THURS. JAN 8,9AM

There’s another emergency rally in NYC this morning—9am Foley Square.

Kristi Noem is going to NYC today to hold a press conference. New Yorkers are showing up in mass to tell her to get the f*ck out.

Join @handsoffnyc.bsky.social in the streets. It’s time to get loud and stay loud.

"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

Still accepting applications!

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.

“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”

“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

Protest in Times Square

Looks like another good day to start screaming in the streets.

What is your plan, @schumer.senate.gov? This requires more than a strongly-worded letter.

While some weird guys decided to out themselves as @irisvanrooij.bsky.social haters (whatever it means), i think it's time to out myself as a longtime fan of her (and colleagues') work. A short thread of my favorites:

Thanks for the link! This looks really relevant and I look forward to reading it in detail!

It’s in the last post of the thread. 😊

These are the first student-led data to come from my Barnard lab, and I'm incredibly proud of Sage and Maria for leading this effort. Check it out at Journal of Vision: jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx... 8/8

High semantic information actually facilitated detection, while mildly impairing categorization. It seems that high semantic information can give you a good sense that there is something meaningful in the stimulus. 7/

High visual information impaired both detection and categorization, suggesting that physical information may create a bottleneck to scene processing. Semantic information showed a more interesting pattern. 6/

We selected high- and low- information scenes for both semantic and visual complexity, and asked observers to do a detection task (i.e., scene versus noise) or a categorization task. 5/

Interestingly, these metrics are not strongly correlated! 4/
