Xpost crap, that's right, though I could have sworn Sanneh was writing for the times and the New Yorker at the same time for a while. Getting old, memory going.

The patient's head would be sawed open under local anesthetic. Fully conscious, the patient would be shown flashcards with words or pictures while the electrodes recorded which regions responded to the stimuli. ... Sometimes, a picture of a particular celebrity would cause a single neuron to become especially active. Similar observations led scientists in a later study to posit the existence in one patient of a "Halle Berry neuron."

i was going to complain about franzen's garbage story in this week's issue but i'll just point to this instead:

Karl Malone, Thursday, 2 April 2015 19:24 (eleven years ago)

as David Roberts says, "I can’t imagine The New Yorker publishing it under any other byline."

seriously, one glance at it by elizabeth kolbert would have kept it from publication

Karl Malone, Thursday, 2 April 2015 19:28 (eleven years ago)

i'm two pages into the Franzen story, unsure if i wanna proceed

three weeks pass...

The May 4, 2015 issue of the New Yorker is available. Download now to read Ryan Lizza's piece on Elizabeth Warren's campaign.

assuming that was supposed to be champagne and was a massive typo

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 01:27 (eleven years ago)

I would drink any champagne Warren made imo.

I don't care to critically examine my gut reaction that euthanasia is an abhorrent way to "treat" depression
