It seems to me that the NFLPA comes out of this looking almost (or at least) as bad as the NFL here. Really worth watching this fascinating PTFO episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P42W...

The NFL and NFLPA managed to conceal a landmark ruling in a collusion case against the league for more than five months. Pablo Torre got his hands on it, and we broke it all down on @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

this piece makes very clear the relationship between narcissism, domestic abuse, and the worst forms of health crankery - a dynamic manifest in RFK Jr on a grand scale.

Social scientists should not use chat interfaces when using LLMs in their research: they are impressively inefficient, and obscure/impose important methodological decisions that require thought. THREAD🧵

I’d like to just speed up to the point where big-time programs give up on the “student” part, spin off as affiliated entities for brand consistency but are otherwise legally and financially separate from academic institutions.

@drandreahoward.bsky.social, hold my beer.. Latent class growth models are worse than useless, and we've known this for more than 20 years. (See Bauer 2007)

Here’s a screenshot of the “addictive use” trajectories from the JAMA paper cited below. My educated guess from the details of the measure is that none of these lines comes close to bona fide “addictive” use 🧵

A month or two ago I read a positive review of Saya Gray's new album, "SAYA," but I'd forgotten about it until I stumbled upon her fantastic Tiny Desk concert on YouTube last night. Loved it, and bought the album first thing this morning. (Bandcamp link in reply). www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQBu...

New paper out at Journal of Memory and Language! We knew that individual differences in working memory predict source memory, but did it predict simple item recognition memory (that relied on less attention resources than source memory)? Our answer is: YES! (with @edvogel.bsky.social ) 1/5

Mind-wandering is associated with late modulation of the heartbeat-evoked potential; mind-blanking is associated with greater decoupling of heart-brain phase coupling. New findings from our radically-revised study of spontaneous cognitive & physiological dynamics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I wish people would listen to people who write & teach writing for a living. We know that there is something extremely important contained within the process of writing. Writing, editing, revising, getting feedback, sitting with your thoughts, changing your thoughts. Writing IS thinking.

Anyone else having problems with AI use on Prolific? It's quite obvious. When I reject participants, they readily admit to having used AI and then beg me to reinstate them.

Checking new manuscript proofs. They had to hyphenate the word "prelecture" at the end of a line. Well, of course, you say, they must have hyphenated between "pre" and "lecture." Ha, no! Pr- electure -smh-

🚨In PNAS🚨 The right often accuses fact-checkers of political bias But we analyzed Community Notes on Musk's X and found posts flagged as "misleading" are 2.3x more likely to be written by Reps than Dems! The issue is Reps sharing misinformation, not fact-checker bias... www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Jim Reason, God rest his soul, would have just loved this thread on slips of action. His realisation back in the 1970s that such mundane absentminded mistakes could provide a key psychological insight into human error profoundly changed approaches to safety. www.ioshmagazine.com/2025/02/21/r...
