EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO FUCKING WEIRD, MAN.
An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.
Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV.

There's a new TT cog neuro job at UNLV (mostly fMRI). I lived with intense humidity for my first 30ish years, so I can say the "but it's a dry heat" thing is real. Now I get irritated by humidity over 15%.
I'd be happy to talk informally with anyone interested.

Some folks in this thread would rather reach for brain damage from leaded gas rather than r____m.
Research by Jennifer Richeson shows via MRI that white subjects testing high for implicit bias expend more cognitive energy during interaction with people of different race. Taxes executive function.

If you're going to RMPA in Denver, drop in on my students' first talks! It's a clinical and social oriented conference (regional APA), so I'm hoping there'll be more than 5 people in the audience (for the only cognitive session, with only 3 speakers). lol 😬

Man, one of my colleagues got so mad at how hard it was to spend his grant money due to university admin obstructionism & bureaucracy that he ragequit the system, set up a whole separate nonprofit org, and now routes all NSF/NIH grants through the nonprofit.

Uhh... men who are not rabidly conservative are seeing these posts (pictured in popehat) as threats to themselves too, right? RIGHT?
It would be wrong to see this as just a prudish or Victorian or even sincerely religious attitude about sex. It’s about control. It’s about the authority of the state intruding into more and more parts of life, and about making more and more people complicit in the abuse of power.

Folks, the evangelical line on birth control is, more or less, that any hormonal birth control is an “abortifacient” and that IVF is inherently a form of abortion… they’ve not hidden at any point what the endgame is
When Roe fell, I was stunned at how many people thought it wouldn't impact them. And whenever I brought up IVF and fertility treatments, people told me I was exaggerating. But anyone who's ever come across advocates for so-called "embryo adoption" knew where this was all headed.
