This graph took me 3 years to make. It's perhaps the largest-ever #metaanalysis of #TMS #BrainStim data. It includes my first real scientific discovery 🧵: When you stimulate the hand with a brief electric pulse, your brain and spinal cord are momentarily less excitable: muscle output decreases 1/n
Muscle excitability (y-axis) plot against the time between stimulation of the hand (PNS) and stimulation of the cortico-spinal pathway (TMS) to the muscle (x-axis). The x-axis is in milliseconds, from 1 to 1000 on a log scale; the y-axis is the log10 ratio of muscle excitability with prior hand stimulation versus without. Each blue dot in the figure is a group mean, obtained from 353 papers. The blue line is the random effect meta-analytic mean; where the blue line goes thicker (between 17-64ms, then 100-320ms) there is a significant meta-analytic effect (i.e., the line is below zero, muscle excitability is decreased). The plot includes over 11000 datapoints. Most datapoints are concentrated in the 16-30ms period, which is studied as 'short-latency afferent inhibition' (SAI).

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 23/07/2026
The naysayers keep talking London down, but we’ll stick to the facts. Met data shows neighbourhood crime is down 14%, with 35,000 fewer offences and 13,000 fewer phone thefts in the last year alone. The evidence is clear: London is safe for all to enjoy this summer.

Khan: "[London is] one of the safest.. cities in the world when it comes to homicide. We're safer than Paris, Milan, Rome, Brussels, Berlin.. two and half times safer than NY, 5 times safer than LA, 12 times safer than Chicago.. those that spread lies have a problem with London"

IDF: “We mistakenly bombed the hospital which mistakenly killed journalists & staff then mistakenly sent in a second, precision strike which mistakenly killed the paramedics & rescue workers.” Sanction Israel, boycott Israeli goods, expel its diplomats, seize its assets. OR you support all this.
Post by the Jerusalem Post which reads:

The IDF on Monday afternoon finally admitted mistakenly attacking Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza, killing well-known journalists, including those from Reuters, as well as many as 14 others.

When one corrupt, authoritarian war criminal nominates another corrupt, authoritarian war criminal for the Nobel Peace Prize is now the new standard dictionary definition for chutzpah.
A copy of the letter Netanyahu sent to the Nobel Committee nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm not going to post the text here because it's so utterly embarrassing.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
