What makes someone a cognitive scientist? Is it a degree in cognitive science? Or in one of its constitutive disciplines along with a research focus on the mind? Or publishing in cognitive science journals? Or something else? 🤔

Pfizer Hikes Price of Lifesaving COVID Drug

Pfizer said Wednesday that it will price its patented Covid treatment nirmatrelvir-ritonavir—sold under the brand name Paxlovid—at $1,390 for a five-day course. Researchers Melissa J. Barber and Dzintars Gotham recently estimated it costs Pfizer $13 to produce five days’ worth of the drug, which is taken in three-pill doses.

I could see doing ok in the 50s because nobody knew bacon and cigarettes were bad for you, then you just died and your doctor used your still burning cigarette to light his.

Let this sink in for a minute...

Of all the mammals on Earth, 96% are livestock and humans.

Only 4% are wild mammals.

Of all birds in the world, 70% are chickens and other poultry, just 30% are wild.

if any of you are looking for permission to slow down, say no, stay home, cancel important things, not go, go home early, stay on the couch, rest with no agenda, take a bath instead of a shower, close the laptop, take a nap, try to take a nap, rest for no reason, accomplish less, stop hustling, end the grind, collapse, or sleep, than here it is: permission to stop everything is ✨granted✨

When I tell you that your favorite VCs sit around in chat rooms with nazis, you think I'm joking. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Woke means Black. It's a Black saying.

Passing a law called "Stop woke" or saying "I'm anti-woke!" is equivalent to passing a law called "Stop Shabat Shalom" or "Stop Ni-Hao," but then trying to claim that you are not anti-semitic or sinophobic. It makes no sense.

Most of these VCs, writers, and politicians are irredeemably racist, and hate you on a visceral level.

Just posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.

For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.

I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to #DeleteTwitter.

I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt

I somehow gained over 600 followers in the past 24 hours. I swear on Tom Hanks' life that I will work tirelessly to keep the quality of my facts as low as humanly possible for all you new friends.

It's now TWO YEARS and 167 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged. Instead Trump is running for President where he's spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. Long past time to Indict trump for Jan 6!

It’s my birthday today and you’ve all given me the gift of the Fediverse and I want to thank you. ❤️

It’s no wonder there’s all the bleating about people getting back to the office. I suspect quite a bit of that comes from building owners and their astroturfing PR firms.

Maybe if we worked on making cities more livable so people were there because it was home, rather than work, they’d be a bit more resilient.
