Why you’re hardwired to trust confident voices. Even when they’re wrong

Me, for @sciencefocus

Our reflexive tendency to trust confidence helps explain Johnson, Trump, Putin, Musk, and so much more that is otherwise baffling about the modern world

A video that straddles the line of fascination/horror for me. This person mastered The Science of Graphics, and should be put in computer jail for the crimes committed here:

There are some things that just have to be photographed. This kind of chalk-based street art definitely qualifies. It’s beautiful, whimsical, and sadly, ephemeral.

Grupka głośnych nastolatków wysiada z tramwaju na jednym z przystanków. Któryś z nich musiał chwilę wcześniej coś przeskrobać, bo jeden z pasażerów zaczął krzyczeć za nim: "...Ty kurwa, bo jak wysiądę i Ci przypierdolę to zobaczysz...". Jeszcze dłuższą chwilę trwała ta wiązanka, a zakończyła się znakiem krzyża, gdy właśnie przejeżdżaliśmy obok kościoła.
Czy może być coś bardziej polskiego?

Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki? [Epizod 22]

A pamiętasz, jak w 1959 roku Superman trafił do kontrolowanego przez nienawidzącego go burmistrza miasta, w którym obowiązywała cenzura prasy, za sympatie względem superherosa trafiało się do aresztu i palono związaną z nim kontrabandę (tzn. przedstawiające go lalki), co sam Superman otwarcie skojarzył z nazizmen?

"Superman", vol. 1, nr 130, 1959, DC Comics.

"The Town That Hated Superman!", scen. ?, rys. Curt Swan.

P.S. Branża komiksowa nieco wcześniej mogła oglądać w USA ogniska, na których palono komiksy.

The Aztecs felt the same way.

My husband and I went to the #Houston #Pride parade yesterday and had a blast. The LGBTQIA community knows how to have a good time! Y’all rock.🤘🏿

My bank's site loads slowly, so I switch to other tabs in Firefox while it's loading; however, the site has some script to determine if its tab has focus, and it suspends loading if it's not the tab I'm looking at. How do I trick the website into thinking I'm looking at its tab?

Just finished! I'm in love!!

Last week, Elena, in a wedding dress, sprayed paint at the British embassy in Madrid, protesting for the outrageous sentence of her fiancé Mike. This is what she has to say.

Space travel costing $250K per seat needs no regulation. I think people who can afford that should be adventurous, trust the company and go asap.

Since it's very warm and slaving over the stove is objectionable I would like to inform that yes you can, and should, cook beef burgers in a panini grill.

Our experiments show that our particular George Forman grill takes third of the usual frying time, doesn't turn your kitchen into a sauna, and somehow the burgers are less shrunken and more juicy.

I have a feeling we will be confirming results of this experiment for a while. At least couple of more times. Or four. Or...

For science!

"But what if they don't deserve that money?" is only ever a question asked about poor people.
