Check out our new paper using EMA to show that specific cannabis modalities are associated with momentary changes in subjective drug effects, which have been previously linked to sustained and problematic use. Thanks to co-authors @mayamatlack.bsky.social & @ebansell.bsky.social

The idea that society goes out of its way to protect white women never really matched my own observation but society really does not work to protect lesbians of any description

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Remember when Mufasa was ruling the pridelands and everything was amazing and happy and then Scar took over and immediately turned it into a wasteland where everyone was poor and starving? Just wondering...

I can’t help thinking that if the president were a woman, the judiciary wouldn’t be quite so fond of deference to the executive.

Stay tuned. More to come. Judge Young ruled narrowly today since he did not have time to justify broader rulings. But I don't think he has any uncertainty about where the law and justice fall on these cases.

After ruling, with anger in his voice, Judge Young: "This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

So anyway, this idea that chromosomes and hormones match to a body that is the right body for a specific sports category is deeply unhinged and wildly disconnected from the fact that there is wide genetic diversity within assigned genders and trans girls do not magically uniquely have any advantages

World - yesterday

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

Not the biggest problem we're facing right now, but wow it's annoying that when this guy shares my work everyone tells him how brilliant he is and when I share it I get random dudes swinging by to tell me I can't do maths
A screenshot of a tweet by 'Nicholas Fabiano, MD' with lots of engagement describing a statistic I calculated with my dad (that there are >60 million ways that symptoms can be combined for the diagnosis of major depressive disorder) posted together with a figure I made, unrelated to the statistic (symptom repetition in the DSM-5).
