Episodic memory encoding fluctuates at a theta rhythm of 3–10 Hz Nature Human Behaviour - Biba et al. show that episodic memory encoding fluctuates at a theta rhythm of 3–10 Hz.

I am excited to share my first paper, showing that episodic memory formation is theta rhythmic, is now published in Nature Human Behavior! Check it out here: rdcu.be/e6pzS. Thanks to my PI, Katherine Duncan, and to my collaborators for their support on this journey! Stay tuned for iEEG follow up 🧠

Steven Pinker's aid in Jeffrey Epstein's legal defense renews criticism of the increasingly divisive public intellectual Steven Pinker's aid in Jeffrey Epstein's legal defense renews criticism of an increasingly divisive public intellectual.

Steven PInker, the Canadian cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, popular science author, public intellectual and personal friend of Alan Dershbag had no idea -none- that Dershbag and Epstein are/were child molesting pedophile rapists.

Volunteers in Minnesota Deliver Groceries So Immigrants Can Hide at Home

These type of people are America's only shot at ever being great. In other words, they are the opposite of empathy-free Donald Trump and his terrorizing Gestapo goons who are destroying our country. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

PM Mark Carney speaks at World Economic Forum in Davos – January 20, 2026 YouTube video by cpac

Here is the full speech from Carney:

He survived 36 surgeries — and stood before Europe to speak for Ukraine’s children.

11-year-old Roman Oleksiv, who survived the Russian missile attack on Vinnytsia, spoke at the European Parliament during a screening on Ukrainian children.👇

You think he treats Canada and EU as if they count?

And restored NIH/NSF funding.

Trump is to Putin what Susan Collins is to Trump.

They might as well threat to leave EU.

The Nation That Trump Could Never Break Canada didn’t just resist, they reminded the rest of us how to endure

Message from Ukraine:
Thank you, Canada.
For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse.
You reminded us that we are not alone.
Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world.
And more like something worth staying alive for.

Fascism lost and Democracy won in Canada tonight. Bye bye Pierre Poilievre. 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦

From the Canadian Trump wannabe to possibly loosing his own Parliament seat. Thoughts & Prayers. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

This doctor’s letter to United Heathcare for denying nausea medication to a child on chemotherapy.

He doesn't care. Narcissism combined with lucrative hoax is his entire system of values.

The times have changed, but charlatans always find their niche.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Must be proud of his legacy.

The ultimate karma would be if the Supreme Court allows him to run in 2028, but Pence primaries him.

Not counting the nukes and navy, probably Poland. And for a good reason.

RFK Jr. Turns to a Discredited Vaccine Researcher for Autism Study (Gift Article) David Geier has been hired as a senior data analyst at H.H.S. According to several people, he will examine any potential links between vaccines and autism that were debunked long ago.

These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer.

Watch: they'll start vaccine *bans* within a year.

Trump launches strikes against Yemen's Houthis and warns Iran U.S. President Donald Trump launched strikes against Yemen's Houthis on Saturday over the group's attacks against ships in the Red Sea, warning if Houthi attacks did not stop "hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before."

For all who voted for Trump because he was the “Peace Candidate” and Kamela was a warmongering “hawk”, hope you enjoyed his first 50 days.

Threats to Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Pamama & now, his Yemen attack.

Pierre Poilievre’s campaign manager, Jenni Byrne:

The amount of disrespect that Lex Fridman is showing to himself with this sycophantic self-promotional gibberish is beyond insane. It's so obvious who you are.

100%. To every European who needs this dumbed down, Ukrainian sacrifice is what keeps the Russian tanks and rockets thousands of kilometers from *your* kids bedroom.

'You are gambling with WW3' says the guy who casually talks about invading a whole list of countries to the guy who is defending his one and only.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin were lit up in the colors of the Ukrainian flag in a sign of solidarity.
