Ted Cruz tells us the air speed of an unladen Swallow… FREEDOM

Ted Cruz is becoming even further unhinged, as if there will be an insanity defense for sedition. Because he actually thinks he’s funny, like a Soup Nazi taking the gas pipe:

Ok. No gasoline for you. (That includes jet fuel.)

Maybe since the Thursday Senate hearing has been canceled due to the threat of another attack, FBI Director Wray can use that time chatting with Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz about their role in the insurrection (rather than them questioning him).

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tried to spin the decision of Dr. Seuss Enterprises to stop publishing six books containing racist and outdated imagery into an attack on President Joe Biden.

But the Texas Republican — still under fire for abandoning his winter storm-hit home state for a family vacation in Cancun, and then joking about it during his Conservative Political Action Conference speech last week ― was immediately mocked and ripped on Twitter.

In two tweets, Cruz on Wednesday appeared to suggest Biden was somehow behind the pulling of the books.

Could Biden try to ban my book next?

One Vote Away was the #1 Bestseller on Amazon a couple of months ago…maybe Joe could get it back there?

WOW. Ted Cruz’s PAC paid $1.2 million—or 80% of its operating budget — to a company that purchased copies of his book.

Did he get a kickback of royalties? That would be illegal. https://t.co/K1eS3FIEtd

Trump is not the only Republican with agency. Perhaps Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise—who voted to overturn the election—could tell them to stand down? Or a statement signed by the entire House Republican conference.?Or Republican senators—especially Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz? https://t.co/Y5G3w6YMsS

A cephalopod has passed a cognitive test designed for human children https://t.co/pXwGKHLVKA (Via @ScienceAlert) pic.twitter.com/mL8deOP5oM

A new test of cephalopod smarts has reinforced how important it is for us humans to not underestimate animal intelligence.

Cuttlefish have been put to a new version of the marshmallow test, and the results appear to demonstrate that there’s more going on in their strange little brains than we knew.

Their ability to learn and adapt, the researchers said, could have evolved to give cuttlefish an edge in the cutthroat eat-or-be-eaten marine world they live in.

The marshmallow test, or Stanford marshmallow experiment, is pretty straightforward. A child is placed in a room with a marshmallow. They are told if they can manage not to eat the marshmallow for 15 minutes, they’ll get a second marshmallow, and be allowed to eat both.

This ability to delay gratification demonstrates cognitive abilities such as future planning, and it was originally conducted to study how human cognition develops; specifically, at what age a human is smart enough to delay gratification if it means a better outcome later.

Because it’s so simple, it can be adjusted for animals. Obviously you can’t tell an animal they’ll get a better reward if they wait, but you can train them to understand that better food is coming if they don’t eat the food in front of them straight away.
