I continue to be surprised at how under the radar this is going, considering that it’s more consequential than a lot of the things that #spéirghorm gets worked up about.
There’ll be major handwringing on here if we get a “majority of parents support Church patronage of primary schools” result.

Is it reasonable to say that after a few years of being generally ok, the @rte.ie Player app has become really bad again in the last month or so? Watching any live events on it has been impossible recently.

In just twenty years, we’ve shifted from jokes about misunderstanding ‘burning CDs’ as marking being conservative and out of touch, to marking being too young to remember the ancient technologies of the 00s.
this is definitely bait, but it also just makes me think of the Arrested Development episode where Ann's church is doing a CD burning party

Social psychology scandals tend to come in two varieties:
1. One of the major canonical studies in our field is deeply flawed.
2. One of the big names in our field is a serial sexual harasser.
Today, unfortunately, is one of the latter days. Solidarity with all of Miles Hewstone's victims.

knowing many directly affected, I personally asked some senior male colleagues to speak out about this during my earlier years as a professor, as i felt too vulnerable due to my stage of career.. it was shocking how much this was 'common knowledge' among women and how few male colleagues knew 😔
More voices from those also affected by Miles Hewstone‘s behavior, hitting walls when trying to be heard. Katherine Griffiths from @bloomberg.com gave everyone a voice that can no longer be silenced.

One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser.
This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.

We replicated one of the oldest experiments in Psychology (Triplett, 1898) as a registered report. Children completed a task faster in pairs than when they were alone.
