Democrats don’t just need to win, they need to win by margins that make Republican ratfucking ineffective and pundits‘ efforts to downplay a mandate laughable. Pour it on. Do not let up.

40% of the entire global population plays video games 67% of the US population plays video games at least once a week The average US gamer is 37 years old More then 7 in 10 Millennials (ages 30-45), 56% of Gen X (45-61), and half of Baby Boomers (62-80) play weekly @michael-feinberg.bsky.social

The Detroit Free Press allowed readers to submit their verdict on who won the debate between Dr. Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers— but the only two people who said Rogers won decided to include anti Arab slurs in their letters in addition to abject lies. So the DFP refused to publish them.

While people are talking X, let me talk about X OFF. Two big ideas: 1. Get everyone possible off of X, especially for the news (at least) until every vote is counted 2. Tell your elected reps and candidates to stop sending people there and go X last (at least)

X OFF

Until every vote is counted, get your news somewhere other than X, and ask the people running for office to publish it somewhere else too.

Currently, a diagram is making the rounds that is claimed to show a significant reduction in Russian disinformation bot activity after Ukrainian drones hit Yandex data centers. There is no evidence that this plot shows real data. I suspect that this image is AI-generated.

Okay, this is an incredibly, incredibly cool discovery. The brain stem is a different organ?

The researchers' breakthrough came from studying the earliest moments of embryonic
development, during a stage called gastrulation when the body first takes shape. Jokhai and Dundes discovered that the hindbrain follows a separate developmental path, running in parallel to - rather than branching off from — the pathway that creates the forebrain and midbrain.

The researchers learned this from examining developing mouse embryos. They identified two different brain progenitor cells.
One, which expresses a gene called Otx2, is destined to become the forebrain and midbrain. The other, which expresses a gene called Gbx2, is committed to forming the hindbrain. They showed that these two cell populations never overlap; they are mutually exclusive from the earliest stages of development.

The team then examined the DNA packaging, or chromatin, in these cells. Chromatin is a way cells determine which genes can be easily accessed and which are bundled away out of reach. What they found was striking: The anterior neural ectoderm (future forebrain and midbrain) and posterior neural ectoderm (future hindbrain) have fundamentally different chromatin configurations.
These differences essentially locked each progenitor cell into its respective fate, like travelers on parallel tracks that never cross.

Finally, the researchers looked back over 550 million years of evolutionary time. They found the same two-origin brain pattern in chickens; zebrafish; and,
remarkably, in acorn worms, tiny creatures living on the ocean floor that share a distant common ancestor with humans. Jellyfish, which diverged from humans about 600 to 700 million years ago, have two nervous systems at different ends of their body.
"Our research suggests that evolution took two existing neural systems and pushed them together spatially," Loh said. "Having the brain as one organ would probably be more efficient, but we rely on this primordial way to make the brain as two separate pieces."
