Batman A new study published in npj Mental Health Research found that when an individual dressed as Batman entered a car on the Milan subway, people were more likely to engage in prosocial behaviors like giving up their seats. The control condition observed the behavior of 138 passengers on the subway when an experimenter who appeared to be pregnant boarded the train with an observer. In that scenario, passengers offered up a seat to the woman 37.7 percent of the time. In the experimental case, another experimenter dressed as Batman entered the same car as the pregnant woman, using another door. When the Bat was on the scene, 67.2 percent of passengers offered their seat to the pregnant woman. The researchers attribute the effect to an unexpected event (Batman) making people more aware of their surroundings, with the situational interruption providing the necessary mental shake-up to get someone out of their seat.

Great books! Our kids have also taken to A Little Bit Brave by Nicola Kinnear. Very similar two-hander about a homebody and a thrill-seeker.

Get a load of Pete Hegseth's favorite pastor popular.info/p/slavery-pa...
Wilson's retrograde Views on women go well beyond repealing voting rights. Wilson explicitly advocates for "patriarchy.," saying that it should be the view of "every biblical Christian." Wilson says, "the wife is to follow the lead of her husband in all things." Wilson has referred to feminists as "small-breasted biddies" and other women who don't meet his approval as "'lumberjack dykes' and 'cunts."" In his 1999 book Fidelity: What It Means to Be a One-Woman Man, Wilson applies his patriarchal worldview of the topic to sex. "A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants," Wilson writes, "A woman receives, surrenders, accepts." In Her Hand in Marriage: Biblical Courtship in the Modern World, which Wilson published in 1997, he writes that "[women inescapably need godly masculine protection against ungodly masculine harassment." Women who refuse such "masculine protection," Wilson asserts, "are really. women who tacitly agree on the_propriety of rape."

Tyler Rogers induced break radar chart and arm angle from Baseball Savant which shows a sinker/slider combo that differs wildly from the league average and comes from an angle below the knee Edwin Diaz induced break charge and arm angle from Statcast which shows a 4-seam/slider combo that basically matches league average movement, comes from a low-slot angle, and has proven to be pretty unhittable.

Delivered a sharp rebuke to Trump...and also the national newsmongers like this very paper who didn't treat this as a threat
The restraining order from District Judge Charles R. Breyer, which takes effect Friday at noon Pacific time, delivered a sharp rebuke to President Trump's effort to deploy thousands of troops on the streets of an American city, a move that has contributed to nearly a week of political rancor and protests across the country.

Gary, IN is your example?!

While unusual in the 21st century, cocaine can be used for medicinal purposes. Hunter S Thompson, for instance, started each day with sausage and eggs and a side of Bolivian marching powder.
(from @morningbrew.bsky.social)
Starbase wouldn't be a first. While a population center so directly controlled by a company is unusual in 21st-century America, there's plenty of historical precedent. For instance, Gary, Indiana, was founded in 1906 as a US Steel company town.

The head of Patient Privacy at Valley Hospital in Jersey was one of the redditors bullying a 20-something cancer patient and accusing her of faking her illness?

That doesn't seem great!

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/n...
Beginning_ Field_2421, among the most persistent critics, was a woman named Connie Wright, the privacy officer for Valley Health System, headquartered in Bergen County, N.J., where she shapes and manages the organization's patient privacy practices, according to her LinkedIn profile. In a message sent to The Times on Reddit, Ms. Wright, 53, said, "I've remained anonymous to avoid backlash or reputational harm from a public figure with a large and active online following." She then deleted her account.

Is the Democratic Senate Leader suggesting here that people can be (illegally, surreptitiously) deported for any violations of a school's code of conduct?

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/m...
What do you make of what happened last weekend when ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate who is Palestinian, an activist and a green-card holder, who was one of the few participants in last year's campus protests to identify himself publicly. Apparently Trump has made good on his campaign pledge and is set to deport him because of his participation. I don't know all the details yet. They're trying to come out, and there'll be a court case which will determine it. If he broke the law, he should be deported. If he didn't break the law and just peacefully protested, he should not be deported. It's plain and simple. What does breaking the law mean to you in this context? It's a legal issue, and it's, what are Columbia's rules, and what does it mean breaking them, and what are the legal rules? What did he do? I don't know what he did, I don't know what the charge against him is. So it's a little premature to make a decision, except if he didn't break the law, he should not be deported. If he broke the law, he should.
