One of the clearest examples I've seen of the need for politicians to lead the polls rather than follow them. People's opinions on policy are highly malleable in response to different messaging frames.

My wife and I live in a split home: she is a Mets fan and I am a Braves fan. But my wife is also on every social media platform that I am...except BlueSky, making it my only safe space to say: DAMN Y'ALL LOST 5 TIMES CONSECTUTIVELY TO THE BRAVES? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN Y'ALL'RE SO MUCH BETTER?

Really cool/important work on measure proliferation. I wonder what this might look like if you just examined slight variations to existing scales (e.g., short versions, "new" scales that borrow items from others).

Sometimes I read over papers that cite my work out of interest. I just read one that cited my 2024 JoPY paper as like...the source of the 1992 Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire. They never even cited Buss & Perry, 1992...its right there in the title! Don't cite me for this! 😭

Is it still open science if only like half of the analysis code is available? Asking for another author I'm annoyed with.

IDK who needs to hear this (these authors, I guess) but there is ZERO chance they actually found that the Tangney BSCS and Buss-Perry AQ correlate at r = - .96. Would love to see the scatterplots.

Has anyone looked into what kind of deal the Cars made with the devil to have like 5 of the best pop rock songs ever written on their first album? I mean every song is a banger on their ST but there are so many timeless singles. Its too much for one album.

Has anyone ever noticed that the SUPPS-P items in Cyders et al., 2014 have the wrong reverse coding scheme? For example 3/4 of the lack of premeditation items are marked as reversed but none of them should be when using OG anchors. I wonder how many papers have used that scoring...

This is middle school level data wrangling. Why do columns have different units...why are there two columns with different names but the same data? I thought these guys were good at coding or something. This screams "I can barely use a GUI".

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Since US politics has completely devolved into simple antagonism I'm going to hop on that gravy train and run a campaign with only one policy position: whoopin that ass. Every debate I just throw the mic and square up during opening statements. West 2028 - get that ass whooped!

One of my favourite examples of, "hey, we should properly evaluate if this popular intervention works" was a trial of infant simulator program in teens that found that randomisation to caring for a fake baby was associated with increased pregnancies www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
