New preprint 🌟 Psychology is core to cognitive science, and so it is vital we preserve it from harmful frames. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I use our psych and computer science expertise to analyse and craft:

Had the luxury of visiting a new perfume shop with @stevelleknievel.bsky.social. I’m not usually one for perfumes (or so I thought), but Brutal by Czech-based Pigmentarium is incredible.

People do get disappeared? And people do self-censor? This is patently obvious.

No post-Trump society will survive if people as dumb as this are put in charge.

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

Even two years ago you couldn’t have convinced me I’d still be alive, let alone having the life I have now. Feeling grateful tonight.

Review subject to change. 10/10 album for unironically giving me “girlbossed to close to the sun” phrase which I will use whenever I can for as long as I live. Once again, Miss Taylor doesn’t miss.

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

Judge Young is (rightly) horrified by masked ICE agents - but he also finds them cowardly:

Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it. “We can not escape history,” Lincoln righty said. “[It] will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.” Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual Message to Congress (Dec. 1, 1862).

I'm skimming, but this paragraph stood out:

And there’s the issue of masks. This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking- up and has heard the same reasons advanced by the defendant Todd Lyons, Acting Director of ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence.

Difficult for me to put into words how disappointed I am in Sabine Hossenfelder. Many years back when she was just blogging about physics I was a huge fan, and she published a lot of intriguing papers. Now she makes money as a social media arsonist. 🧪

Physics is dying. It’s mathematical fiction. Science is failing. Most of academic research that your taxes pay for is almost certainly bullshit. I don’t trust scientists. Would you believe me if I tol...

One thing I find so strange about the P-curve is how once it was published, the burden of proof shifted to others to prove that it is bad (in ways that Simonsohn would care about, at least), rather than the authors, to prove that it works in general (for standard definitions of "works"). (21/x)

Simonsohn has now posted a blog response to our recent paper about the poor statistical properties of the P curve. @clintin.bsky.social and I are finishing up a less-technical paper that will serve as a response. But I wanted to address a meta-issue *around* this that may clarify some things. 1/x
