I thought I was used to the south living in NC, but I'm staying in a hotel in New Orleans and there are a bunch of young people here "for their formal" and they keep having polite conversations with me (like, because we're in an elevator for 30 seconds together) and calling me "sir."

If you've never been, Bourbon Street is profoundly loud and stupid, but it's probably a good time if you like a melee of drinking under neon. I don't, but it turns out you can get some interesting pictures from nighttime chaos...

I made a feed for #ABCT2025. You can pin it if you want to follow all the mentions of abct stuff. There's a little bit of filtering baked in but sometimes there's a random not really abct post that slips in. (It's really just the feed I made last year, still works!)

Good morning folks at #ABCT2025. From the conference hotel, if you walk over and up Loyola you can get to the start of Lafitte Greenway, which is where I did my morning run and met this fellow creature...

Francophones, looking for a translation of 'Souillard' – the late medieval name of a Very Good Dog. It clearly has 'dirty' or 'grubby' connotations, but how best to translate it? Google focuses its modern meaning of a sink plug-hole but I don't think that was meant in the C15! Please RT!

PSA, to those of you who teach undergrads, please tell them to stop using AI to send emails to labs they're interested in working in...it comes across as completely disingenuous and fake.

News today that Magnus Egerstedt, architect of the Robotarium and director of the Robot Ecology Lab is our new Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost.

So on one hand, a warm welcome to our new colleague and, on the other hand, has UNC been recruiting from a steampunk novel?

Just submitted a review where I ended with my traditional "I hope the authors find my comments useful" where the unwritten implication is "once they stop being annoyed at me that I pointed out the data they collected does not allow the conclusions they wish to draw."

So, you know, the usual

This is important. People still do this a lot, and it ends up being a back-door method of inferring an interaction (e.g., “effect was significant in women but not men”)

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Can anyone offer help? ⬇️
For prosopagnosia especially?
It's tough out there for editors, give @dpmoriarity.bsky.social a hand!
Anybody knowledgeable in measurement (especially in adaptations for Mexican culture) and/or prosopagnosia that would be willing to serve as a reviewer for @collabrapsychology.bsky.social ? At the point where decliners are mostly recommending people who have already declined😅

Just liked every post in this thread (because I like every post in this thread)
1: In 2023, I wrote this paper arguing that research on active ingredients of CBT, and by extension on their mechanisms, is not close to improving therapy outcomes.

I just read a paper on inhibitory learning improving outcomes of exposure. Egg on my face?

I was raised super duper Christian evangelical Republican conservative, homeschooled pastor’s son, went to Liberty University, didn’t start moving left politically until middle of my PhD program and I can confidently say I NEVER questioned if the nazis we’re, in fact, the bad guys
this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

Shockingly large crowd at the #NoKings protest in Carrboro NC. This is likely the smallest of the protests nearby today... And it's gigantic.
