Here are just a few of the things that happened on January 2, 2023:
137 million tonnes (CO2 equivalent) of greenhouse gases were emitted worldwide.
Three people were killed by police in the US.
A football player suffered cardiac arrest during a game.
Which of these received the most press coverage? Which is the most important for today and the future?

I’m in the kitchen and look over, I can’t help but think there guilty of something. #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #entlebuchersennenhund #entlberner #keeshond #SunDog
For those who don't know our pack of #dogs, #IdąPsięta, here's a simple explainer of their characters. Two works referenced here might be unknown to many outside of Poland: Sienkiewicz's Trylogia is a historical saga set in the 17th century, Czterej Pancerni i Pies is a communist-period book and a tv series about four tankers and a dog during WW2.

I am a researcher in cognitive and computational neuroscience at the CNRS and Paris Brain Institute in France.
I am interested in the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying #metacognition, #learning and #decision-making, which I investigate using carefully controlled behavioral experiments in tandem with computational modeling and neuroimaging, in healthy and patient populations.
Very happy to join the mastodon community!

I had an interesting conversation about goat meat economics today at MF Dulock, a butcher shop in Somerville.
There are a couple of reasons they rarely carry goat. One is simply the low demand. Another is that the people buying goat are usually less likely to care about where it came from—or possibly just that, again, the demand is low enough that this subpopulation of careful buyers is too small. But the big one is that people only want the stew meat!
It was J.R.R. #Tolkien himself, born #OnThisDay in 1892, who used "dwarves" instead of "dwarfs" in his runaway success, "The Hobbit." But it wasn't without controversy.
The editors at Allen and Unwin, Toklien's publisher, said the plural according to the Oxford English Dictionary should be "dwarfs." Tolkien retorted that he helped WRITE that dictionary and he could decide on his own plurals, thank you very much.
