If you can VOTE EARLY in your state, PLEASE do so. The GOP is planning chaos on Election Day (polling place interference, etc.), so voting early would help to derail their plans and make it more likely that VP Harris has this thing sown up before then:

Repeating aids believing: climate #misinformation feels more true through repetition - even if you back climate science https://t.co/x2HOgINj8W

"...the effect works immediately – a lie seems to be more true even after just one repetition."

From study: "...repeated exposure increased perceptions of truth for climate-science and climate-skeptic claims to a similar extent."

@NiemanLab-supported researchers report that repeated exposure to false claims, known as the illusory truth effect, makes them seem more truthful, regardless of existing beliefs – especially as related to climate science. With @ConversationUS https://t.co/ewnefYWFVz

Asked to generate jokes or satirical headlines from a prompt, ChatGPT 3.5 is funnier than, respectively, laypeople (doing the same), and professional The Onion comedy writers, research by @drewgorenz and @aanobs finds: https://t.co/FxfU9rDwBw

Here's a wild study! Researchers randomly assigned aging women to *jump on one leg* 50 times for 6 months to see if it would increase bone density compared to the non-jumping leg. It worked! https://t.co/kYy0LJh7Wj

@SethAbramson It is now time for prosecutors to show us all the evidence they have against Trump. Let us be the court of public opinion against him, before November.

It does feel to me, today, as though we have reached the apex of a reality that actually became clear back in 1992: Republicans can no longer win elections honestly, and they are not going to stand for it. They will use crime, graft and theft to ensure we are ruled by a minority.

In creative problem solving, ChatGPT is outclassed by 3-year-olds, but as a humorist, it fares better, research by @drewgorenz & @aanobs suggests—based on the same prompts, AI-produced jokes were judged at least as funny as human-generated ones: https://t.co/uVZ4zeBNrm
