Do you know how hard it is to anger Canadians?!?
A screenshot of an X post by Jon Cryer (@mrjoncryer
.bsky.social) dated March 7, 2025, commenting on the deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and Canada, blaming a "criminal president" after six weeks. The post includes a poll from Polling Canada (@canadianpolling
...) conducted by Pollara on Feb 23, 2025, with 1,506 online respondents. The poll shows support for: removing U.S. alcohol from stores (77%), retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products (75%), punishing Elon Musk by tariffing his companies/cancelling his contracts (74%), and cancelling contracts with American companies (65%).

Ever wonder how our brains handle images that stick in our minds versus those that fade away? We show that only images with high memorability scores undergo extended processing late in time throughout the ventral visual stream, including early Visual Cortex #PLOSBiology plos.io/4cDqn8u
