Diederik Stapel was a massive watershed moment in psychology.
However, he was -- and let's be slightly glib here -- some guy from The Netherlands who wrote social psychology papers.
The full accounting of the Eysenck case is approx, at minimum, TWO STAPELS.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

So, to recap:
Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth.
Pentagon says fake news.
White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it.
Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men.
This isn’t going well.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Help me with a thought experiment. Here’s the question: What would Trump have to say during a press conference that was so crazed or aberrant that his inner circle would begin 25th Amendment proceedings? Is there anything?

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The myth of Trump as unbeatable and a perpetual winner is just that. The GOP struggles when he's not running, and there's no evidence his personal popularity carries over to other R's. 2026 is shaping up to be a massive loss for the GOP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
