Love well-written behavioral science books that introduce me to new studies. Am reading Aaron Ahuvia’s wonderful THINGS WE LOVE (out yesterday) and came upon a fascinating study on real mind-reading—in rats 😊 —>

1/ Understanding and responding to "whataboutism" (What about Syria? What about Palestine? What about Xinjiang?) 🧵:

This is CRITICAL because whataboutism is Putin's heavy artillery in the public sphere. And it's more insidious than you realize.
#StandWithUkraine️ 2/The aim of whataboutism is disempowerment.

It's deployed most effectively against a target group with high morale and solidarity, unified in a moral cause. Such as we have now.

Why I’m broadcasting for #StandWithUkraine (long 🧵)

I teach people how to influence each other in positive ways. How to build fruitful relationships. How to get what we want without compromising ourselves. In my Yale course and my book, we start small, with self-development (just say no, just ask). As we progress down the path of becoming influential, we practice more difficult skills (handling resistance, developing charisma)

Took my 11 year old daughter to #HarrietMovie last night & am still disturbed.

She left the theater scared of Bigger Long “the worst bad guy.” The only sadistic character in the movie—who was BLACK, and DID NOT EXIST. wtf, Hollywood!

Great thread by @LaQuetteWrites: @LaQuetteWrites The film is artful, with some great acting, and Harriet Tubman is one of our most important national heroes.

To me, this makes it worse, not better, that it misrepresents slavery, and history, and race in this country. Felt designed to not make white people uncomfortable.

Happy #WorldOctopusDay!

If everyone knew how intelligent, capable, sneaky, social, empathetic, talented, curious, and emotional octopuses are, we would think twice before eating them.

Here’s a thread about the wonders of the octopus:

1/11 Image Octopuses are so smart, they can watch a fellow octopus figure out to open a puzzle box with a crab inside—and then repeat the right steps in the right order to open the box themselves on the first try.
