Sonnet 126 - CXXVI
O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power
Dost hold Time's fickle glass, his sickle, hour;
Who hast by waning grown, and therein showest
Thy lovers withering, as thy sweet self growest.
If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack,
As thou goest onwards still will pluck thee back,
She keeps thee to this purpose, that her skill
May time disgrace and wretched minutes kill.
Yet fear her, O thou minion of her pleasure!

New Marquette Law School national survey finds high approval of Iran cease-fire, low support for the war, and few who think U.S. goals have been achieved (Charles Franklin/Homepage)

Finished reading "Seasons of Glass and Iron" by Amal El-Mohtar.
A short story collection — fairy tales, fantasy, and poems centering women's resilience and identity, gathered from years of El-Mohtar's commissioned work.
"John Hollowback and the Witch" is a delightful slow burn: a man guilty of wronging women, yet innocent in having no memory of it. "The Truth About Owls" handles displacement better than most novels.
4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
No entiendo cual es el problema de la gente a la que no le gustó Mario Galaxy. Yo salí completamente satisfecho. Es una película muy entretenida para niños y adultos con un fan service brutal. No encuentro que esté tan lejos de la primera.

Das Frauenklo als Ort des Grauens
Es ist ja bekannt, dass die meisten Frauen sehr reinlich sind – und ihnen Gerüche peinlich sind.
Ich muss – leider – ein Klo nutzen, das von neun Frauen frequentiert wird. Fast immer hängt da der beißende Geruch von Chemikalien in der Luft (der den von Fäkalien übertünchen soll). Auch wenn gerade nicht gesprüht wurde, ist der Gestank von "Gletscherfrische" (von wegen!) präsent.
Unerträglich. Und es geht auch auf die Atemwege (nich…

Abstract: Large-scale neuroscience is generating rich datasets across animals, brain areas and behavioral contexts, yet our modeling efforts remains fragmented across isolated experiments. We argue that understanding behavior requires integrative neurocybernetic models: understandable dynamical models that capture the closed-loop coupling of brain, body and environment, treat the brain as a controller pursuing latent objectives, represent structured variation across scales, and scale to heterogeneous datasets. Such models shift the goal from predicting neural recordings in isolation to inferring the organizing principles that govern neural and behavioral dynamics. We outline a practical route toward this goal by combining nonlinear state-space models and meta-dynamical extensions with scalable inference, knowledge distillation, mixed open- and closed-loop training, and connectomics-informed architectures. By pooling complementary constraints from recordings, behavior, perturbations and anatomy, integrative neurocybernetic models can provide statistical amplification, few-shot generalization, and mechanistic insight into shared dynamical structure, individual variation, and the control objectives that govern behavior. This agenda offers a model-centric path from fragmented data to a mechanistic science of how brains produce behavior.
