I find the mention of "implicit bias" hilarious.

There was a lot of psych & neuro research some years back about implicit cognitive biases in memory retention & retrieval vis. anxiety & depression; the idea was to address those to improve cognitive-behavioral therapy outcomes.

No CBT for us then.
If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

MONDAY BLUES - STELLAR'S JAY
Most blue coloration in animals results from structural color, a phenomenon where nanoscale structures (little sponge-like holes & keratin walls inside the feather that are only 200–300 billionths of a meter in size) interact with light.

DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU

Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

I realized why I don't like this dementia Don talk: I don't want the right-wingers to excuse him later when the reckoning comes with the "it wasn't him, it was the dementia".

I want that child rapist to be held accountable if not while alive, at least by historians.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.
