Ana Kasparian claims that Michael Jackson was framed for CSA.
"I don't believe the bullshit about Michael Jackson. I think Michael Jackson was framed, I think Michael Jackson was punished for daring to speak out on behalf of the Palestinian people."

First-time fathers show distinct brain responses to their own babies
First-time fathers show distinct brain responses to their own babies
New research sheds light on how fatherhood affects the brain. First-time dads showed stronger neural responses to their own babies—especially in areas linked to social and emotional processing—compared to unfamiliar infants or partners. These responses also tracked with bonding and stress.

If you look at a "heat map" of Tom Emmer's brain fMRI, there are no honesty neurons.
Tom Emmer: "Minnesota doesn't necessarily lean Democrat. In fact, if you look at the 2024 presidential heat map, it is overwhelmingly red. There is a blue dot essentially in the Twin Cities."

In a recent study, participants inside fMRI scanners played a game in which they could enrich themselves by deceiving others. The more people lied to other players, the more exaggerated their lies were likely to be the next time around.
