- "This is the amygdala, part of our lizard brain"

- If you calculate how much money is spent in man hours for updating your official documents, it costs somewhere within your salary because it’s what you’re paid to do.
- You know what's worse than mandatory web-based trainings? Mandatory web-based trainings when the voice acting is so clearly AI.
- Secondary data analysis of studies I've worked on for years really spikes my anxiety. Like, what do you mean the data is processed and cleaned?? And I can just do my tests and be done??
- Drugs are cool and all, but have you ever experienced the absolute high of spending two hours in the most anxious state of your life, wondering if you solved some minor problem from three years ago that definitely would kill your data/study, only to find out you did - in fact - solve that problem?

- Is the ventral visual stream important in chronic PTSD? Maybe! We replicate and extend earlier findings from recent trauma survivors in the large (n=~2000) ENIGMA-PTSD sample showing covariance of this circuit is related to PTSD severity. Now out in BP:CNNI. 1/ authors.elsevier.com/a/1m4uJ8jVtv...
- Sauron was a complicated being. True, he waged a genocide against the race of men and sought to plunge middle earth into an age of darkness. But! He was also a champion of diversity (he had easterlings in his armies :)).

- Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

- A scholar talking about minority stress uses "caucasian."
- Left for vacation and came back to absolutely zero mission critical email, fires, or tedious requests so I no longer have any sense of purpose.
- Our NASEM Committee Report on the mental, emotional, and behavioral health impacts of school active shooter drills is now out. A big thanks to the National Academies, the Department of Education, and the stellar committee that got this done. nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/2910...
- Real glad everyone remembered to say thank you to those senators for writing a gentle letter to the guy who wrote the authoritarian playbook and who they confirmed to do the authoritarian things.
- The look my therapist gives me every week when I tell her I can't figure out why I'm so tired when I haven't been able to do anything productive.
- Get ready.

- "You can use AI to do so much! Summarize meetings! Make presentations! Just dont put any real data in and remember its usually wrong. Since this will make you more productive, we've added fourteen more admin tasks for you to complete each week."
- When the wild hypothesis is correct and independently replicates

- So, NDA terminates my access to ABCD because my RAS has a linked gmail for the past ever. Delete it, then can't log in, have to use the helpdesk. They finally fix it today, the same day they revoke the ability to request access to ABCD. So, my disdain for the NDA is alive and well.
- Live reaction of me doing the work I trained for years to do because I said wanted to do this type of work:
- They wrote this shit with ChatGPT didn't they.
