Reminder to get your flu and COVID shots to protect yourself and your neighbors this respiratory illness season! I picked a day next week to get mine. I have to plan a bit carefully because my fibromyalgia likes to punish me for it. 😭 Still worth it, it would punish me for flu or COVID too.

Art from 2018 but also still enjoy it. A bit of a lonesome scene with Kitt waiting in some blustery autumn weather. Done with watercolors and some colored pencil.

traditional art in a somewhat toony style with some painterly effects. An anthro coyote wearing a scarf, button up flannel and patched pants is holding a hot drink with steam rising from it and some wisping away from her muzzle. There's a pumpkin and some multicolored leaves on the ground and more drifting through the air.

Dogs, like humans, may favor consonants over vowels when parsing continuous speech, according to a new Science study comparing brain activity in the two species. Learn more: scim.ag/4ryMGEo

(A) ITC values for humans and dogs, averaged over the three midline electrodes (humans: Fpz, FCz, and CPz; dogs: Fz, FCz, and Cz), and participants in the frequency spectrum between 0 and 9 Hz, including word frequency and its first three harmonics independent of syllable-level contributions (1.33, 2.67, 5.33, and 6.67 Hz), syllable frequency (4 Hz), and speech sound frequency (8 Hz). Comparable electrode placement between species is illustrated on schematic brains by the yellow dots at analogous cortical lobes, frontal (red), parietal (blue), temporal (orange), and occipital (green). (B) Estimated marginal means ± SE of word-level ITC for each condition in humans and dogs, derived from GLMMs.

Why do white men become white nationalists? Interesting new empirical results in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ere we show with three national surveys of non-Hispanic white adults (conducted from 2021 to 2025) that support for white nationalism is (1) higher among white people encountering personal hardship and local social distress, consistent with strain theories3,16; (2) unrelated to local racial composition or recent demographic change, complicating status threat accounts4,17,18; and (3) elevated among white people with close friendships primarily online, consistent with theories of extremism driven by online mobilization7,10,19.

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
