Took heartbeat interval data from a chest strap and turned it into breathing rate estimates. Used FFT + peak interpolation to pull out the respiratory signal hiding inside heart rhythms. Repo here: github.com/Beyond-InFin...

Russian psyops are achieving great success in targeting US hockey fanbases during the Olympics (from a Boston Sports radio station YouTube video)

"This place done for."

All Millennials wanted was a little Gay Space Communism and instead ended up with Pedophile Space Nazis 😭

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

If Americans were really serious about fighting back against corporate America, they would boycott the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, a good number of people in this country aren’t willing to make that small sacrifice and it’s sad and infuriating.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

The "John Roberts Defense"

How it feels to have read The Prince for the first time at age 35

I'm astounded that the "soy causes estrogenation, and therefore has lead to the feminization of the world" crowd and **the literal soybean farmers and food industry** have managed to remain in the same political coalition with each other for so long

All-Star Weekend should just be NBA players playing games that players in the NBA care about, that pose little-to-no risk of injury (golf, 2k, Madden, CoD, Catan), instead of the slop they try to serve us in that farce of a game

Given that we know what a Ballmer is, I had always wondered what a Ballmee is. Thanks to ESPN and The Ringer, I now know

At this point, it's actually good that the most obstinate and disagreeable progressives and leftists are so defiant against wanting to acknowledge Bsky's obvious issues. By quarantining themselves here, they reduce their imprint on culture, meaning fascists can't use them as agitprop for normies.

Trump winning support from terminally online young men and then appointing RFK Jr. to ban Vyvanse and put autists into work camps is the right wing Stalinist version of how Democrats win elections through appealing to black people and then use that political power to ban menthol cigarettes

In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, semaglutide (Ozempic) slowed epigenetic aging and the pace of aging across 11 organ and system clocks medrxiv.org/content/10.1... (preprint)

Listening to journalists tell stories about how, because they wanted to discover something about a person of interest 5+ years ago, they read through thousands of pages of legal documents, feels like science fiction in the present age.

It's very unlikely that most people who think affirmative action should be outright abolished, or that the entire premise of DEI is a mistake, reject The Bell Curve thesis: that intelligence is genetically determined, and that Black Americans are in the position of not being worthy of investment.

Congrats to Europe and East Asia! news.modernatx.com/news/news-de...

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Possible evidence of hostile foreign active measures activity disguised as Act Blue/OccupyDemocrats slop

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...

Legally Bald

The entire point of nonprofits was to use Protestant Guilt to trick the Ameriplebs into transferring civil society governance over to the private sphere from the public

My friend told me that he thinks Jayson Tatum is going to shoot 86% from the free throw line next year. So I did a hierarchical Bayesian analysis to show him that, if the line for Tatum shooting over 86% from the line next year is less than +500, he should not take that bet.

The horror show continues at NIH I am hearing (reliably) that RIFs have started with entire institute Communication branches being terminated since their jobs not longer exist (reduction in force). But that is not all...

Piss Christ, Andres Serrano 1987

The temptation must be resisted

You don't truly appreciate what Sam Altman means when he uses the phrase, "We need more compute" until you get locked out of rendering iconic stills from every Attack on Titan episode in 1990s British claymation style for 21 minutes

FAFO

And then I wondered … had Pete Hegseth really meant to text me the state secrets?

Billionaire mind disease symptoms include a belief that you can buy your way out of human social structures but also somehow always have access to fresh strawberries.

"Disruption" is a simple but brilliant strategy to make oligarchic wealth transfer from the public to the private look like cutting-edge innovation of civil society

Every single Democrat posting "of course government waste is a problem, but..." is providing cover for this plundering.

BELLS, BALLS, BIG CHERRIES PETER PAN MAGIC CHEESE

Return of the Jedi: Special Edition was released 28 years ago today. Goodbye, Lapti Nek (here in an extended version for MTV).

Katie Couric breaks records by being the first establishment journalist to cover the fact that Elon's Nazi/Apartheid sympathies are among his most core characteristics as a person: youtube.com/shorts/j47fk...

If the Democrats are actually concerned about big donor dollars, they should actively lean into messaging about corruption and the undermining of the rule of law. There are tons of Dem-friendly donors that will shill for maintaining our system of property rights. Bland centrism isn't enough.

At @standupforscience.bsky.social and the signs are statistically significantly excellent

Oh so that’s how Brad got him to sit out tonight…
