I have clearly angered the Twitter gods. An algorithm seems to be kicking out my followers without them knowing. If you can help me reach them again by RTing that would be wonderful.

BREAKING: President Biden just slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson for his cowardly inaction on bringing a Ukraine aid package to the floor of the House. Retweet so all Americans know Mike Johnson and Donald Trump are playing right into the hands of Putin.

It looks like my online seminar tomorrow (Monday) on #EvolutionaryPsychiatry for the Darwin Club may be more available than I had thought. The talk will be technical, not clinical, but perhaps of interest to some. @isemph @HumBehEvoSoc @UmEhap @RiadhAbed1

Twittersphere, do you have any suggestions?
I’m currently reading @andrew_i_port ‘Germans and Genocide after the Holocaust’ - a key text in my research on state atrocity prevention strategies and I’m looking for similar work covering other states. Any recommendations?

My deepest gratitude to @ProfBrianDSmith for this insightful review of #Making_Sense_of_Cancer. I fully embrace the role of a pleasantly garrulous and slightly eccentric professor sharing my understanding of cancer with my fellow travelers. jarlebreivik.com
Explain this @sapinker. I'm dogwalking, w. audiobook of "Rationality". As chapter 4 ends w. discussion of seeing coincidences post hoc in random data , the heavens open. I pause book, select random Spotify music and what comes on? "Who will stop the rain". Great book, BTW.
