I think the conclusion of this study is likely to be valid however it is worth noting that any attempts to localise cognitive tasks such as writing to a specific brain activation/connectivity is problematic because that's not how the brain works. 1/

Hot weather style goalz. Ten out of ten for nonchalant lounging in a Grecian toga & styling it out with a dinky bracelet #mudlark #ThamesForeshore

the republican two-step: 1. pass huge, regressive tax cut that explodes the deficit 2. start complaining about the deficit the second a democrat takes office, demand spending cuts, get portrayed as Serious Deficit Hawks

This thread is fascinating/horrifying/unsurprising (about using the plagiarism autocomplete bot):

lmfao the guy calling in car bomb threats doesn’t realize that Zohran doesn’t even own a car really sums everything up perfectly

“If New York elects a progressive mayor, I might have to close,” said the man who, more often than not, sold me expired cheese.

I love NYC mayoral elections. It’s always “but what if we could actually afford to live here” vs “but if you people could actually afford to live here, we would feel less special, which is illegal”

so the completely unqualified secretary of defense is being ignored by the completely unqualified commander in chief who hand picked the completely unqualified hairdo from fox news to be secretary of defense am i following this all correctly

One of the most spectacular tricks that the “wellness” grift has managed to pull off is convincing people that their industry is untainted by money. That they are all doing it out of their deep concern for their customers’ health. Yet the global supplement industry alone is worth $177 billion.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

I’ve been working on fabric designs based off of my recent water paintings. It’s been all fire and plants up to this point, so water seemed the next logical step. #FabricDesign #RepeatPattern #Fabric

Had a dream wherein I had to walk naked-but-for-a-strategically-placed-hand-woven-shawl through hallways full of business school students freaking out over a group project in their marketing class. Sometimes my brain is way too heavy handed with metaphors.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

Introducing… Junior magpie! This little derp and an equally awkward sibling are hanging out in the garden while they figure out life and receive food deliveries from parents #birds

HENKILÖT | Grafiikanpaja Himmelblaun vedostuspajalla on katto korkealla. Siellä voi vielä aistia vanhan tehdassalin tunnelmaa. Työtahtia eivät kuitenkaan kellota päällysmiehet. Kurista ja laadusta pitävät huolen käsityöläiset Marko Lampisuo, Tommi Hietanen ja Tiina Hinkka.

I was on top of everything else today a little cranky about how it's almost midsummer and I haven't had a good bonfire in a while [ASCII shrug with the one particular tsu katakana for a face]

Oh shit i'm about to get assigned a side-quest arent i

it is a sign of just how little pull vance has in the white house that he made an account on a niche social network to troll

i am just saying someone who hires a person to literally play their video games for them would definitely not hesitate to do the same for their pee test in fact it is probably the same person who plays their video games

SpaceX is short for SpaceXplode

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

When your MAGA uncle claims that climate change is some hippie fantasy, it helps to point out that the massive corporations employing truckloads of risk analysts are all placing multi-billion dollar bets of their own money that it’s real.

hi, rocket expert here! this is not funny, rockets only do this when they're in extreme distress.

I only really care about "cheating" on assignments insofar as I give them the assignments to try to get them to use their minds. If that's not happening for one reason or another then I have a bigger problem than rule-following

Shaw! Pose cutely with the new ARC so I don’t have to do something artful with flowers and a coffee cup.

My prediction for how this will play out: Most colleges will doubledown on AI even as employers realize their graduates know next to nothing. Elite colleges will market themselves as being non-AI. Not using AI will be a bespoke luxury commodity that's highly sought after.

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

What in the… The weird houseplant that I don’t know what it is flowered while I was gone! And I think it’s some kind of Stapelia?

Because of [waves hands at the state of the world] there's been a bit of discussion about how difficult it is to sink oil tankers. As this account firmly approves of the empirical method, ie the boffin lingo for fucking around and finding out, let's look at an example. Meet Torrey Canyon.

A major danger of LLMs is that humans are SO predisposed to attribute knowledge to any entity that uses natural language fluently. We cannot imagine that a machine that outputs natural-seeming speech/text doesn't have cognition. Brilliantly articulated by @emilymbender.bsky.social et al. (2021).

I’m far more militant proponent of #democracy than most, but attempts to export democracy by force of arms are almost always costly failures. Democracy has to spread organically, and it should be propagated by appropriate non-violent means. And once democracy has taken root, it should be defended.

this report from media matters is fucking wild. fox news has aired 424 segments about trans athletes since feb 5. the week democrats vetoed the GOP trans sports ban bill, they aired 59 segments. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

NAACP sent notice to Elon Musk's xAI, signaling intent to sue over air pollution from AI startup's data center. It alleges xAI violated federal law by using methane gas turbines at its South Memphis data center without acquiring permits or pollution controls: $TSLAQ Ht @mikescarcella.bsky.social

I’m still surprised that in a nation drowning in guns and “stand your ground” rationalizations, none of these masked kidnappers have been shot at yet.

Me: Did you remind her to do it? Hus: Yes, she's at it. Me: At it? You mean on it? Hus: Where am I supposed to learn the difference. Me: No where. I guess you'll just have to step in it. Hus: Siksi puhun suomea.
