Nothing for or against Dunkin', but shouldn't we start with RFK Jr. proving *he* is safe first?

For the first time, a British Sign Language rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone was performed at Anfield before Liverpool vs. West Ham ❤️

Ah, back to business as usual

People in Milan have to be absolutely SICK of Norwegians at this point

If only there was a young dynamic midfielder on loan from Liverpool, oh wait there is

Independence of spectral contrast effects across different frequency regions in speech perception Identification of speech sounds is influenced by spectral contrast effects (SCEs), the perceptual magnification of spectral differences between successive sound

Where does that leave us? SCEs are consistent within-frequency but not across frequencies. This paints a more holistic picture of perception-in-context. The link to the article is below, and thanks for reading!
3/3

As expected, SCEs affected listeners’ categorization of lower-, middle-, and higher-frequency speech sound contrasts. But, the effects were not at all consistent with each other (in two different listener samples, or when pooling samples). Nothing happening here.

🚨New publication alert!🚨
@matthewwinn.bsky.social and I asked – with so many reports of spectral contrast effects (SCEs) in the speech perception literature, are these effects related to each other? We tested whether SCE magnitudes in different frequency regions were consistent with each other.

FIFA and the World Cup: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

Oh, FIFA is corrupt and extortionate?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. This video was from 4 world cups ago (2014) and it could've been made today!

Now that 32 teams advance to the knockouts there's no Group of Death. There's barely even a Group of Might Be Coming Down With Whatever's Been Going Around

All I want is to see is men draw ping pong balls out of buckets and announce who is in which World Cup group

I realize that's a lot to ask... during the World Cup draw

If you've been asleep all year, you can sum up 2025 pretty well by just looking at the word of the year choices:
6-7 (dictionary.com)
rage bait (Oxford)
parasocial (Cambridge)
vibe coding (Collins)

We already knew that FIFA was corrupt (Blatter era), and then it became super corrupt (Russia / Qatar / Saudi Arabia WC bids), so now it has achieved being super-duper corrupt

this year we saw a guy with 55 home runs strike out a guy with 56 home runs

It's all fun and games until the kids rearrange the refrigerator magnets to spell 6-7

Might need two versions of the lecture depending on the ages of the search committee, just in case! 😆

I’m already pondering which open data set I’ll post using this

We're in Year 2 of seeing the big teams advance regularly, as more games = more margin for error. After a 2nd bad result in the old group phase, there'd be reason for concern. Now, you can have 3? more? bad results and still get through via playoff round (which ought to the 1x-leg for more jeopardy)

I use this list every time I am teaching research methods or statistics, without fail. Always a winner (except for the researchers when analyzing their data)

OMG YES
