Those other 8 questions are giving Danielle Smith the constitutional crisis she actually wanted, right?

Ladies & gents: I give you what is easily the dumbest Canadian think-tank paper of the entire fucking decade. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU USE H-INDEXES YOU ABSOLUTE MUPPETS. H-INDEXES ARE CORRELATED WITH AGE & FIELD OF STUDY ALL THIS TELLS YOU IS WHITE SCHOLARS ARE OLDER & MORE LIKELY TO BE IN SCIENCES.

such a real one for this

The end of reading. Adults read more than ever, but it's short and shallow texts (like this post, alas) rather than long-form text. It's worse in the US, but I imagine it's just a preview of how things are headed for the rest of us 🎁🔗 www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Flying out of London Ont airport with a short connection in Toronto

A grad student once compared citing my own work in a paper to liking my own Instagram posts. I think about that a lot.

Does the brain actively predict the next word? Or is it just an artifact of how context-free meanings of previous words naturally anticipate those of upcoming words?

Do you think Facebook Marketplace people go on Hinge and say "Is this still available?"

One more week to submit your abstract! There are some heavy hitters as keynotes, but I will also be there giving a "theme talk"

Language areas in the cerebellar mapped by @coltoncasto.bsky.social: www.thetransmitter.org/language/cer... Very consistent with @carobellum.bsky.social functional atlas, but providing deeper details. By now the "terra incognita" of the cerebellum isn't so "incognita" anymore!

I'm starting to think Kid Rock is not actually a kid. Has anyone checked his long-form birth certificate?

One time in 2006 a student wanted to be excused from the final so she could work on Stephen Harper's Conservative Party leadership campaign. Somehow this situation feels way, way different?

You know you've really screwed up your Reactionary Free Speech University™ when Pinker's all, "whoa you guys are nuts"

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

'Tis the season of flooded inboxes & time to reamplify this brilliant tip from @hannahrsnyder.bsky.social.

Local youth ruins evening of California man making 50 times his salary

I don't understand why Garfield hates Mondays. To the best of my reckoning he has never been held accountable for anything, on any day of the week.

Do American researchers have to explain why they only recruited American participants or is that special feedback that editors/reviewers reserve for Canadian researchers? Also, I'm getting pretty sick of having to explain why it's good to have data specific to my own country.

C'est moi! Je donne ma première présentation en français depuis 35 ans !

C'est assez hallucinant de voir un communiqué signé par 5 sociétés médicales qui soit à ce point bourré d'affirmations péremptoires non soutenues par les données scientifiques. www.sfsp.fr/images/25042... Exit la distinction corrélation-causalité, toute prudence a été abandonnée (comparé au 🧵
