Bad faith politicians simply lie. They pretend to be the victim. Beware.

[#BeLessGullible @DiscountingQ]

The GOP turn America into Russia.

1. Normalize meta-magical thinking. Easy votes and funding.

2. Replace information with firehosing. A propaganda method.

3. Add fascist loyalists in key positions. Steal your tax dollars.

They spew #JobsJobsJobs while they #RobRobRob.

US airlines had gone 16 years without fatal crashes.

Then MAGA fired the FAA chief, gutted the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and threatened air traffic controllers with layoffs.

Now there have been two fatal crashes.

Hope your unvetted 22-year-olds fix things fast.

Imagine how different social media would be if the US banned foreign influence campaign operations ($$$$) and/or required influencers to disclosure what country they are taking $ from.

The most Dangerous virus.

Vicariousness.

[Simon Maechling @simonmaechling]

The most dangerous virus right now isn’t biological.

It’s the belief that expertise itself is oppression.

So when science tries to reduce suffering or prevent deaths, people call it tyranny.

A society that treats public health as the enemy stops protecting itself from reality.

The pseudojournalists disagree.

[Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 @FlintDibble]

Scientists who pretend they know more than actual scholars in fields outside their expertise, and act arrogantly about it, are pseudoscientists

They lack professionalism, collegiality, and humility. It's a shame to see so many STEM colleagues act this way towards the humanities

Trump: We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'

One of the many tragedies of this war is that before the war began the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S.

The IC also properly assessed that targeting the Iranian leadership would strengthen the regime and embolden the hardliners.

Despite the professionalism & accuracy of the IC, the narrative & agenda spun by a foreign government- Israel, won the argument & forced us into this war.

We need to understand exactly how this happened to ensure we are never put in this position again.

Follow up to this. The disposition of the amygdala may be a more relevant factor. The amount of myelin is a question, more than an answer.

@newstart_2024 Got a robot correction on Myelin.

Are screens harmful to children?

We have no control experiment for our personal examples.

Conjecture isn't an answer.

This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying:

They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development.

Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.”

We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans.

This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different.

Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?
