I luv hearing ppl complain about tumblr updates every time they happen….. I know y'all will adapt and be happy lil bloggers until the next round of updates….meanwhile I sit here on my Mobile Throne…. Nothing ever changes up here….It’s always kinda bad
Have some bizarrely specific Superbowl-relevent cover. It makes me wonder who else has weird real-person smut published about them on Amazon. Gary Busey? The Stay Puft Marshmallow man? The possibilities are endless. And terrifying.

I found these ponies online and I’m genuinely kind of fascinated by them. Judging by their size and their flocking they feel like they’re from Simba’s Filly brand, but their design is entirely different from anything else in that line (plus Filly characters don’t have cutie marks). I can’t find any information about who they are or where they’re from!
I love their designs though, I love that their hair seems to be made of different elements like fire and leaves and lightning… the mane made of stars is my favourite! Their body shape is like a mix between G2 My Little Ponies, but with a G3 / G4-ish head. Very curious.
These look a lot cuter then most of the stuff Hasbro is pushing out at the moment ;w;

Lucid dreams and metacognition: Awareness of thinking — awareness of dreaming
Neuroscientists from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry have compared brain structures of frequent lucid dreamers and participants who never or only rarely have lucid dreams. Accordingly, the anterior prefrontal cortex, i.e., the brain area controlling conscious cognitive processes and playing an important role in the capability of self-reflection, is larger in lucid dreamers.
The differences in volumes in the anterior prefrontal cortex between lucid dreamers and non-lucid dreamers suggest that lucid dreaming and metacognition are indeed closely connected. This theory is supported by brain images taken when test persons were solving metacognitive tests while being awake. Those images show that the brain activity in the prefrontal cortex was higher in lucid dreamers. “Our results indicate that self-reflection in everyday life is more pronounced in persons who can easily control their dreams,” states Elisa Filevich, post-doc in the Center for Lifespan Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development.
The researchers further want to know whether metacognitive skills can be trained. In a follow-up study, they intend to train volunteers in lucid dreaming to examine whether this improves the capability of self-reflection.
