This is why I don’t care for the work of James Madison, George Washington, Isaac Newton, Alan Turing, Leonardo da Vinci or… *checks notes*… Nikola Tesla.

TY @newscientist & @d_a_robson for recommending SINGLE AT HEART: “Society has put enormous pressure on us to couple up, but, as social psychologist DePaolo shows, an increasing number of people are finding happiness flying solo. A myth-busting antidote to Valentine’s madness”

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Great advice here. Men should also be aware of Peyronie’s Disease. As should their doctors who can misdiagnose it as a prostate infection — especially in the early stages before curvature is apparent.
If it hurts, ask to see a urologist.

Well done @d_a_robson and @nytimes for bringing valuable information on #MensSexualHealth to the table. We need more work like this to reduce health disparity and stigma. Pleasure to be involved with so many like minded colleagues 🙏🏽

You are one of the dumbest people on earth, my district is literally a majority white district. Your conspiracy theories are laughable and should have no place in a society that cares about facts.

This has been happening for years. Ilhan Omar is the most obvious example. A large number of relatively recently arrived Somalis will elect only a Somali to Congress in that Minnesota district. This is much more subtle, but just as bad, in many other parts of America.

2) "The Expectation Effect" by @d_a_robson
Think of this book as the science behind visualization or manifestation. In it, the author explains how our beliefs shape our reality. A must-read for anyone interested in psychology, neuroscience, or mindset.

Very angry with @skytv for upselling a new TV package to a customer they’d been notified had dementia - and doing this *one month* after I cancelled on the customer’s behalf because they weren’t aware they’d signed up in the first place.
When challenged, Sky’s customer service response was that the customer technically ‘agreed’ to the upsell.
For me, this raises serious concerns about how vulnerable customers are being treated and whether @Ofcom guidelines for this group are actually being followed.

@j_amesmarriott Congratulations James! I've enjoyed your posts and Substack essays on the subject - can't wait to read the book.

Trump’s reaction to the death of Rob Reiner and his wife is grotesque.

Convicted thug and fraudster encourages hate on innocent young schoolchildren because of their skin colour. Repulsive.

An underappreciated reason why we fail to say no to a bad suggestion is ‘insinuation anxiety’—fear that so would be interpreted as insinuating something offensive about the other person, writes @d_a_robson:

Got purpose? Live longer!
@d_a_robson finds sound evidence for the claim that purpose is more important than overall life satisfaction in predicting people’s physical health and longevity:

Leonardo was quite the genius inventor.
But he also documented his speculative invention “Method of Awakening the Mind to a Variety of Inventions” which led him to meaningful patterns in the random chaos of the world around him, writes @d_a_robson:
