Because I love documenting Philippine historical markers, my simple way to honor #InternationalWomensDay today is to share these photos of 3 markers that commemorate the Asociación Feminista Filipina, the first women’s organization in the #Philippines 🇵🇭 that was founded by Concepcion Fel…

Here is the Special Counsel calling out Donald Trump as a defiant threat to the judicial process everywhere: “There is a clear and demonstrable pattern in which numerous people ‘have had their lives turned upside down’ after being publicly identified as a participant in a proceeding involving defendant Trump.”
Witnesses, judges, jurors—all endangered by the harassment and threats of violence that Trump incites. An extraordinary accusation.

Attached: 1 image 2/ Cheney, cont’d: Here, Smith says Cannon gave short shrift to concerns about witness safety despite threats to herself and others that other judges have raised alarms about. Among materials prosecutors want fully redacted: FBI interview reports of witnesses who worried about being publicly exposed, testimony that reveals nonpublic details about Mar-a-Lago layout, ID of a WH aide who testified about how presidents review classified info.

We got the cats some cardboard scratchers. They said, "Hey, thanks for the comfy beds!" (and proceeded to scratch things right next to the scratchers instead of the scratchers themselves) 🙄

Reprinted my Deadpool fridge magnet. The original model has holes in the back where one can glue in the magnets. I only got rather strong neodymium magnets which don't stick very long to the glue I have available.
What I did now was to place a thin box in #PrusaSlicer right at the holes on the bed. Just two or three layers of filament. Then added a pause (filament change) at t…

Predictive processing also sheds considerable light on a wide range of typical and atypical forms of human experience. A good starting point is to notice that there are two very broad ways for such processing to go wrong. The first is for the brain to underweight predictions and expectations. This will make it hard to detect faint but predictable patterns in a noisy or ambiguous environment. But the second general way to go wrong is for the brain to overweight expectations. In extreme cases, overweighting results in hallucinations. You seem to see and hear things that aren't there, just because […] they are at some level strongly expected.
Autism spectrum condition was initially thought to reflect a specific imbalance of the first kind — a systematic underweighting of prior expectations. […] Underweighting prior knowledge would make weak or elusive patterns hard to detect, and hard to learn too. Such patterns would include things like facial expressions, intonation, or body language, things that delicately hint, in context, at other people's mental states and attitudes. An imbalance of that kind would also make it very hard to learn these patterns in the first place, and even harder to recognize them in situations that are complicated or ambiguous. Recent evidence casts subtle doubt, however, on this bald initial hypothesis. Rather than weakened predictions, intriguing evidence is emerging that suggests that the core issue involves (not underweighting knowledge-based predictions but) actively overweighting the incoming sensory evidence.

She doesn't just feel "hunger," instead the more fine-grained specifics of the bodily signals dominate. You are feeling a whole lot of something — but what is it? According to the overweighted sensory information theory, autism spectrum condition individuals constantly encounter an excess of highly detailed and apparently very salient sensory information of this kind, coming from both inside their own body and the outside world. This sensory excess impedes the moment-by-moment identification of the broader context or scenario (in this case, hunger). In other words, the emphasis on every aspect of sensory detail effectively makes it impossible to spot the larger forest for the trees.

It's not just 'Handmaid's Tale'; mix in a very big dose of Octavia Butler's very dystopian 'Parable of the Sower' and that is where these people want to take us:

In which day should the ALL HANDS meeting take place? On Tuesday. Why? Because it's the day of "the thing"

Tuesday comes from Old English Tīwesdæġ, literally 'Tīw's day'. Tīw was the name of the Germanic god that's also known by his Old Norse name Týr
Tuesday is not related to Dutch dinsdag, and German Dienstag. These stem from West Germanic *þingas dag instead, literally 'day of the thing', which was the day of the popular assembly, th…

Alright, more progress. I figured it would be "nifty" if you could use an SD card and just read off of it to display images on the LED matrix. However, I also wanted a fairly straightforward file format to do that. It needed to be sequentially read and very simple. Right now this is what I've got and I think it will get the job done. #electronics
