So, what’s your problem? You don’t have any? OK, what’s your lover’s problem? Oh, crap, they just dumped you. Bummer. Uhh, how about your mom? What’s your mom’s problem? She’s dead!? I’m so sorry. Any problems with your boss? You’re unemployed. Hm.

You know what? Let’s start over. What the FUCK is your problem? Write to me and I’ll help you figure it out! I’m starting up a new, regular advice column here at Jezebel that we’ll call DEAR JANE. I’ll take your questions, from the petty to the metaphysical, and dispense guidance and feedback to help you navigate your toughest questions. All you have to do is write in to dearjane@jezebel.com with your questions and I’ll take it from there. Please change names and identifying info; this advice column unfortunately is not aimed at destroying lives. And if you sign your letter with a funny ID, we may or may not use it depending on how funny it is.

A little about why you can trust my advice: I’m a twice-divorced high school dropout and single mother who has a brand new vagina, clinical depression, and about ten different jobs, one of which is hosting Tinder’s official podcast, DTR. Oh! And you may remember me from that time I created the best beauty blog there ever was—so good the universe couldn’t handle it so it had to die—Millihelen. I’m also a “batshit empath” according to a good friend, a Highly Sensitive Person according to my therapist, and a busybody. So your problems are literally my problems, and together we can solve them. Let’s do this!

How to capture videos of brains in real time http://ift.tt/2sTaUgJ Individual neurons firing within a volume of brain tissue (credit: The Rockefeller University) A team of scientists has peered into a mouse brain with light, capturing live neural activity of hundreds of individual neurons in a 3D section of tissue at video speed (30 Hz) in a single recording for the first time. Besides serving as a powerful research tool, this discovery means it may now be possible to “alter stimuli in real time based on what we see going on in the animal’s brain,” said Rockefeller University’s Alipasha Vaziri , senior author of an open-access paper published June 26, 2017 in Nature Methods . By dramatically reducing the time and computational resources required to generate such an image, the algorithm opens the door to more sophisticated experiments, says Vaziri, head of the Rockefeller Laboratory of Neurotechnology and Biophysics . “Our goal is to better understand brain function by monitor

Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin break character to urge people to vote

Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin break character to urge people to vote http://ift.tt/2eCjDNe In its last show before the 2016 Presidential election, Saturday Night Live checked in with Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton one final time before Tuesday, with both actors breaking character to urge voters to head to the polls. The cold open started by poking at the intense focus on Clinton’s e-mails. The interviewer dismisses questions come up about FBI, Vladimir Putin, and the KKK, even as Baldwin plants a kiss on each representative of each group and as McKinnon gets more and more annoyed with the pivot back to her e-mails. It’s a funny sketch, and it gets funnier as both actors break character, unable to keep up with the ridiculousness of what they’re doing. “I just feel gross all the time,” Baldwin remarked. This leads to a strange, but ultimately fitting bit as McKinnon leads Baldwin out the building, where we’re treated to a montage of the pair da
