Putting together a playlist for the weekend, please give me your best suggestions. Trying to get at least one episode from the five OG series.

No, I will not be considering the one where Beverley bones a ghost.

What a weird cause to champion.

Explosive revelations from the inquiry this week. These convictions are starting to look more than a little unsafe.

The second-in-command at the Russian Federal Security Service was placed on international sanctions lists with errors in his personal data, potentially enabling him to evade them.

For the love of God Bibi just don't refer to it as a "special military operation".

Is the Royal Statistical Society debasing itself by pouring doubt on our judicial system, or is there something to it?

Get ready for another 8 hours of speculative bullshit. This time with Keanu Reeves for some reason.

"Shaken baby syndrome" was a fad medical diagnosis in the 80's and 90's that has led to many miscarriages of justice (e.g. Sally Clark). It has subsequently been widely discredited by most of the Medical community, but that won't stop some prosecuters...

Steven Pinker explains the cognitive biases we all suffer from and how they can short-circuit rational thinking and lead us into believing stupid things. Skip to 12:15 to bypass the preamble.

Tl;dr an undergraduate paper last year claiming females hunt just as often as males got picked up by the media and amplified before it was discovered their analysis was deeply flawed and unreliable. Here several anthropologists present a very gracious rebuttal.

There was no group difference in reaction times and accuracy between males and females (using contraception and not). However, within subject analyses revealed that regularly menstruating females performed better during menstruation compared to being in any other phase, with faster reaction times (10ms c.ca, p < .01), fewer errors (p < .05) and lower dispersion intra-individual variability (p < .05). In contrast they exhibited slower reaction times (10ms c.ca, p < .01) and poorer timing anticipation (p < .01) in the luteal phase, and more errors in the predicted ovulatory phase (p < .01). Self-reported mood, cognitive and physical symptoms were all worst during menstruation (p < .01), and a significant proportion of females felt that their symptoms were negatively affecting their cognitive performance during menstruation on testing day, which was incongruent with their actual performance.

New paper casts doubt on the often reported huge rise in maternal deaths in the United States over the past 20 years. They put the blame firmly on a change in the reporting method.
