@dtaberski I’ve listened to all of your Pineapple St-produced podcasts. The subjects appear completely different on the surface, but the stories also seem to go together. How would you connect the dots between these different topics that you’ve investigated?

@mjnblack Julia I’m getting heart surgery tomorrow 🫣 this game didn’t help!

@kevinasarobot @SnapAR Happy birthday, Meat Kevin!

[Stephan Stansfield @stephanmakes]

@kevinasarobot This thread is really heartfelt and insightful! However, the only thing I’ll take away is that I’m exclusively calling you Meat Kevin when I see you

What’s your favorite MATLAB object? Mine is groot

[Stephan Stansfield @stephanmakes]

@funkminister Trident Booksellers in Boston, Porter Square Books and Harvard Bookstore in Cambridge! The latter is surprisingly not affiliated with Harvard U, and they’re unionized

I'm glad we're figuring out that creating works of art is actually easy for machines and the thing that makes humans special is loading and unloading a dishwasher

[Stephan Stansfield @stephanmakes]

@ericfisher I’m glad you didn’t make a prediction, because anything other than “the best weather” would have been inaccurate!

[Stephan Stansfield @stephanmakes]

@ericfisher I’m getting married in Portsmouth, NH on May 29. Seems like it could be rainy (ironic) w/ thunderstorms, or pleasantly sunny. What should we prepare for?

[Stephan Stansfield @stephanmakes]

@ericfisher Tell that to my fiancée who has been scouring forecasts for the past week -- she's not from New England, so can't blame her. Thank you for the well wishes!!

As if it couldn’t get any worse I went out and came back with this

Uh oh. I'm slipping into a combined jazz/Ween/PC Music phase. Sorry in advance to anyone who rides in a car with me during this Bermuda Triangle of insufferability.

@MadameGeology @KrystalGagen @PhDVoice Do you mean https://t.co/bagmBTKT5o? That other site doesn't seem relevant

Remembering those who lost their lives at Pulse, five years ago today.

[Stephan Stansfield @stephanmakes]

@beyondreasdoubt So @bessbell's conclusion is not moronic at all! It actually points to a fascinating aspect of how our brains and bodies work: movement control is organized in a hierarchy. The goal of a motion usually affects the outcome more than what body parts are used to execute it.

[Stephan Stansfield @stephanmakes]

@beyondreasdoubt This is a very cool phenomenon called motor equivalence! Handwriting is the same regardless of what body parts you use -- whether your wrist is fixed (like using a spray can) or even using your teeth. This is from the textbook "Principles of Neural Science" by Kandel et al.
