“There’s two kinds of people in the world. Those that say this looks dangerous and those that say, ‘Watch this!’” It felt like a leading question… but I’m not sure toward which answer. #streetsofnola #alwaysrideforglory

A striking regression in morally tolerant attitudes in the US between 2022 and 2026. In four editions of updating this graph, I haven't had to deal with a big reversal yet. How am I supposed to teach the next generation that the arc of the moral universe bends toward debauchery now?

I'm sure it is still possible to teach writing in college. In small classes. I have 100 students and one TA. This is not feasible for me.

What’s interesting here is that higher testosterone was associated with a stronger cardiovascular response to psychological stress, suggesting testosterone may affect how the body responds to stress rather than simply raising BP at rest. Testosterone does not raise blood pressure itself.

#MorningReads In small sample trans/nonbinary adults assigned female at birth, testosterone wasn’t linked to higher resting BP—but higher testosterone was linked to a stronger BP response to psychological stress. Greater gender-minority stress was linked to a blunted response. #translivesmatter

#MorningReads Among LGBTQ+ POCs, all forms of microaggressions (single, cross, multi-axis) are linked to worse mental health. Multi-axis MAs had an effect 2.6× larger than single-axis experiences. Internalized LGBTQ+ stigma also mediated these associations. #itsbeenaminute. #writinnotreadin

This is a very cute clip, but I love it for reasons that the episode doesn't really explore: *All networked technology comes down to chat* Talking to each other is either the foundation of all new networked technology or becomes inexorably tied up with it-- since the early days of the Internet 1/
