Whole-animal connectomes of both Caenorhabditis elegans sexes disq.us/t/3g8yoon - amazing sexual dimorphism in circuitry (in nematodes)
Really nice analyses of connectivity network => even this simple, apparently distributed nervous system has a hierarchical functional structure
Pair that with this saucy little number: A Cellular-Resolution Atlas of the Larval Zebrafish Brain cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
Neuroscience is changing - it will become much more a whole-brain-based science as new tech lets us analyse and record from many sites at once.
This will require sophisticated computational resources and approaches but also enable a welcome shift in our theories, towards dynamical systems, control theory, semiotics - the brain from inside out!

The Reproducibility Wars: Successful, Unsuccessful, Uninterpretable, Exact, Conceptual, Triangulated, Contested Replication clinchem.aaccjnls.org/content/63/5/9… by John Ioannidis, HT @siminevazire
From psychology to clinical lab science, the dynamics are largely the same...
"Currently, it is notoriously difficult to publish somewhere that “I have not been able to make this laboratory method work” in the peer-reviewed literature, although it is one of the most common frustrating experiences of any laboratory scientist."

Human Replay Spontaneously Reorganizes Experience cell.com/cell/fulltext/… - fascinating study from Yunzhe Liu, @behrenstimb et al.
The spontaneous "replay" of new experiences is reorganized based on previous abstract structural knowledge - in effect, the brain is *interpreting* experience and re-coding it based on prior experience
This kind of automatic process may underlie human's ability to learn so much faster than Artificial Intelligence for many types of inputs.

“Sexual orientation” is real is the same way the “gender wage gap” is real.

It is something, but not at all the kind of thing most people think it is, and those with an agenda say it is.
This will come back to bite us because there is absolutely nothing in principle to prevent the extension of the concept of “sexual orientation” as common misunderstood to such phenomena as pedophilia.

This is already happening.
The argument is simple:

1 Sexual orientation is a kind of in-born natural characteristic than can be analogized to race or sex, sufficiently to demarcate classes deserving of civil rights recognition.
2 Pedophilia is a sexual orientation.
3 Therefore ________________________.

I do believe it's time for some #ElRobot. eps2.0_unm4sk-pt1.tc. In which shit gets way weirder and better.
Opening on Tyrell is a very "here is the trick I'm going to pull" opening.
The lighting levels in the arcade dropped precipitously between seasons. Usually lighting dark is lame but god this show looks good.

Y’all this nigga yesterday tried to tell me that he doesn’t use the clit during sex. He didn’t know women could orgasm with the clit alone. I asked him what he does when his partner isn’t wet enough he said “spit”. I also asked if his partners are repeat customers and he said no.
I was like “man you’ve been having bad sex your whole life”
and he was like “no, I had great sex, I’ve never heard any complaints”
and I said “so all the women you’ve had sex with come back for more?”
And he was like “...well no”

When I tell you I was dying 😂😂😂
The other niggas in the room was laughing too. We asked him why he didn’t know the clit was a thing and he said “i use It but I always end up missing and rubbing the wrong part” nigga...why don’t you move your hands? Lmfaooo

Sugar daddy au with a twist where Yoongi is a producer just starting out, and while he's happy he took the risk, he's struggling to make ends meet, often having to rely on his friends for help. They really don't mind since it's never anything much, food mostly, and they love him.
But Yoongi's unhappy with it, doesn't like mooching off his friends, so one night when he's been sulky after having to share Hoseok's dinner instead of buying his own again, Hobi's trying to cheer him up and jokes about how Yoongi should just become a sugar baby.
And Yoongi laughs, because that's ridiculous, he doesn't feel comfortable sharing his body for money and honestly would prefer to be the daddy if he had the money to do something like that anyway.
