  • Indian police are trying to ‘read minds' of suspects, over neuroscientists' objections

  • What’s a polygraph? They hook up a bunch of sensors to you to check your breathing rate, pulse, how much you’re sweating, etc and claim to be able to read from the output whether or not you’re lying. They can’t, and it’s been inadmissible as evidence in court in the US (and AFAIK most other places) for decades.

  • How do people like toast and bread rolls, but not bread crust?

  • It’s my favorite part! I’ll eat my husband’s crusts too when he doesn’t feel like eating them.

  • We were afraid of mind reading tech when we should have been afraid of polygraph 2.0: pseudoscience garbage used to manufacture evidence for the state.

  • The "Furiousa" y'all helped me name is doing so much better today!

  • They’re so fragile but so resilient at that age! I hope she continues to improve and heals up well

  • ICE used ‘false pretenses’ for warrant to hunt for Columbia students, lawyers say

  • I wonder what would happen to you or me if we lied to a judge to get them to sign off on something?

  • TIL about this device for resuscitating canaries in coal mines

  • That’s so sweet!

  • It always makes me tear up about it when I read about this. People love stereotyping coal miners as hypermasculine, unfeeling work machines, but clearly at least some of them loved their bird companions and didn’t want them to die.

  • Missouri voted in favor of abortion rights and paid sick leave. State Republicans just overturned them both

    Jump

  • There is not a way to justify ignoring human rights violations just because they live next to people who voted for Trump. What you’re describing is collective punishment, and it is unethical and inhumane.

  • 40% of people who voted didn’t vote for fascism. Using the votes of someone’s neighbors to determine whether or not they deserve healthcare is deranged.

  • Absolutely bonkers to go “40% of the state voted against Trump, therefore everyone here wanted and deserves to have the measure they passed by 58% overturned.”

  • I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

  • Wow, that’s extremely disappointing. I had a really positive experience with them a few years ago when I wanted to exchange what I got (it was too quiet for me), and they just sent me a free pair after I talked to an actual person on their chat thing. It’s good to know that’s not how they are anymore if I ever need to replace them.

  • Also one of the jurors in 12 Angry Men. And a super racist dude in A Raisin in the Sun. Dude had range.

  • A recent study has found that the richest 10 percent of the world population are responsible for two-thirds of observable climate warming

    Jump

  • In the United States, the top 1 percent of households control 80 percent of company assets — the average person reading this has no way of ending the coal industry's devastating reign over Appalachia, for example. That's a decision to be made by shareholders and executives looming over us from the top of the pyramid.

  • Having to deal with white Afrikaners is a fitting punishment for Southern Baptists.
