I should probably leave comedy to the professionals. (Photo is from 30 or so years ago by the way, the last time I wore a tie.)

This!! What almost all educators miss. It isn't so much about 'practicing recall' as encoding, chunking, 'turning on the memory-maker' (hippocampus) during the process of forming what is to be recalled later. (HSAM's, chess expertise, passions, many things make this clear.)
Brandon Luu, MD@BrandonLuuMD

Students told they'd have to teach material recalled ~31% more than those preparing for a test. Nobody actually taught. Just expecting to explain something shifts your brain from passively absorbing to actively organizing

According to the CDC, 67% of new HIV cases are from male gay sex. Gay males are under 2% of the population. Due to the false negative rate of HIV tests, this results in a fascinating phenomenon: Untested straight male blood is as safe as HIV-tested gay male blood.

TroodonVet (Comms open on VGen)@troodonvet

Fun fact: the reason why HIV was associated with gays and lesbians is because they reported the disease. The disease affects everyone including the straights, but they kept it hidden because most of them get/spread the disease to their spouse because of cheating/prostitution.

People who are black mailed or are easy to be are the ones who move up. It's all by design. Dennis Hastert, former Speaker of the House, very powerful, had been paying off kids he molested, for decades. This is the demonic system of Congress.

Data…
JohnnyFSE@JohnnyFSE

I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities. You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free. I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded. It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇 Numbers don't lie, but criminals do. courtwatch.us @bennyjohnson @jockowillink @GrantCardone @LauraLoomer @nickshirleyy @j_fishback

@EYakoby And the Reconquista took nearly 800 years. (Genocide is the wrong term, ethnic cleansing is closer but it was a religious cleansing.)

Creationism is just one of the many whack-a-moles.
Iosif Lazaridis@iosif_lazaridis

@AntonioBayo3 I don't know what "hereditarianism" is. That human traits, including those related to cognition, are genetically influenced and under normal evolutionary processes (such as the selection inferred by Akbari et al.) is not a controversial idea in human evolutionary genetics.

@RealNickCole @NerdKing52 And searching always works too, although that implies you know what you want to look for rather than you want to browse. There is a lot more on my website for the curious. /END

I've said something similar about Niven in the past, as for example in this review of Timothy Zahn's Trap Line. Which reminds me that I want to remind all of you who like my book threads that I have lots more just like that at my website. A 🧵

@BlackDragonCan @d4doome Vance is good, but I think Niven's aliens are the best.

@Timcast The later stages of the decline of Empires is a fertile period for the rise of religious wisdom, Arnold Toynbee argued, and so should not be viewed completely as a 'decline'. Every historian since then has vigorously disagreed, about the decline part.

In late '19, we made the decision to experiment with running a few of the 4/4 units we own as co-living (rather than conventional rentals). An apparently young, single person applied for a room. We vetted and approved him and signed a lease. He proceeded to move his girlfriend and their baby into the room, causing all the other tenants of that unit to break their leases and leave. Understandably, no new tenants would move into that unit, meaning we were only collecting 25% of the rent. Then Covid hit, the city blocked evictions and he immediately stopped paying. They stayed for like 6 months. I think we finally ended up *paying them* something like $10-15k to just leave. (And, of course, never got a dime of the unpaid rent back from the city's farcical rent relief program.) So, yeah, that's our experience running co-living under modern landlord-tenant law and we'll never do it again.

This is the canonically correct form of housing for a young, single person in a superstar city. Essentially the modern version of the boarding house.

Housing solutions: A dorm in academic clothing.
tunient@tunient

@AJManaseer could someone start a "college" that doesn't really tech anything (or only evening hobby/pe classes) and provides dorms and strict enforcement of housing rules?

@AmmousMD btw, old idea skimmed across decades ago, cerebral palsy limb malformations thought to be related to disrupted neural currents to the limbs. Various convergences e.g. grasshopper model- limbs and neurodevelopment. etc.

In the 1970s, surgeon Robert Becker demonstrated that electrical currents can stimulate bone and wound healing in humans. So why didn’t this field explode? Because his research also revealed the biological risks of constant electrical exposure. So it was buried.
