3. "It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times"

From "Last Exit to Springfield", a 4th season episode of The Simpsons.

Homer becomes union president, Lisa needs braces, dental plan, etc. We're all Millennials and Gen-Xers on Bluesky. We all know all this.

But what do I know? I’ve been out of neuroscience so long that that DLPFC now genuinely autocorrects to “fluff” 🤔.

One time in grad school I looked up the etymology of “executive” to see if there was anything there I could throw into an introduction to sound smart and cultured.

Turns out we’re all basically just saying “function functioning”, which is the type of circularity I need in my cognitive neuroscience.
