If you decide to self nominate for an award or are asked to write your own third person recommendation letter, I highly recommend assuming a different persona, someone like David Attenborough or Morgan freeman

Anyone know of solid background resources for executive function training? Working on a return-to-learn clinic for concussed athletes in our SLP department. I see a bunch of cheesy workbooks online, but does a good resource manual exist anywhere?

People getting the warm and fuzzies for Bloomberg would do well to remember when Elizabeth Warren crushed his ass in 30 seconds in the presidential debate that tanked his entire campaign.

It’s BUSINESS TIME

We are hiring! New PhD position starting later this year. The call will open soon: write us for more information! bravenewword.unimib.it/prospective-...

This lemon shark is eyeballing my dried mango. I’m sitting in a lounge chair in my back yard reading Raymond carver and living my best life.

Go!

Goats just autocorrected to ghosts. I just asked someone I don’t know if they ever visit the ghosts in Germantown when in fact I was referring to a goat farm in an arboretum

Postdoc position available at postlab.psych.wisc.edu. Pls send cv to [email protected]

University administration is so disgusting. Our college found a legal loophole to cut TT/T faculty salaries by 20%. Do not trust them. Unionize. Organize confidence votes in your assemblies and senates.

"It wasn't an easy decision, but once Brad talked to the architect, it just made sense to go with five stories, nine bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, and a six-car garage with a glass door that reflects the setting sun like the Eye of Sauron." buff.ly/EBpTnyj

What’s this thing, and can I just cut it the hell off? Old radiator water line or dead gas line? New floor going in soon and would love to get rid of this.

Is your orcid ID the whole thing with the http or just the numbers? Your flying machines frighten me. Seriously though do me a solid and answer

@jpeelle.bsky.social I just came up with a fantastic new nickname for you. Jonathan Erik Peelle = JEP General

Ever talk to one though? All they do is complain

Any lab folks have recommendations for project management software? Teams has killed me. All assigned tasks just disappeared

We have two job openings in my lab currently — for a postdoc (100% FTE some teaching four years) and a postdoc/phd student (75% FTE no teaching three years). Check them out at www.uni-luebeck.de/aktuelles/be...

University administrators two years ago: we can’t allow social justice movements to change the university as we know it University administrators today: in order to accommodate the new probabilistic bullshit generator no one likes we must change everything about the university

It’s good to have a friend like me who knows you know the meaning of a word but says this anyway

ATM Looks Too Shitty To Trust

Has anyone seen Backrooms yet? It looks great - sort of a ‘House of Leaves’ or Borges/labyrinths feeling from the trailer. I might drag myself in to an actual movie theatre.

@dezubg.bsky.social jai hindley looking great in the Giro. Love that

What's really astonishing is not the far right authoritarian party doing this, but the near-total lack of <loud public collective action> by university chancellors & presidents to oppose this existential crisis. Almost impossible to overstate how total a failure of leadership this is.

Cognitive Bat Signal #2 -- If you wanted to evoke rapid phasic physiological arousal in an experimental context (without hurting the participant), how would you do it? Loud sudden sounds and sudden jump scare videos are all we've come up with. We want to examine changes in discourse in hyerarousal

Putting out the cognitive/neuro/ling bat signal -- Does anyone know of any standardized (or unstandardized) list of prompts that involve asking a person to verbally generate a sequence of steps to achieve a naturalistic action goal (e.g., making a PB&J sandwich)?

Does anyone out there have experience using GitHub version control on a collaborative project using Rmarkdown? I’m stupefied

Save a lot of $ by returning all deans, ass deans, and ass provosts to faculty positions and administer by faculty governance instead of letting the lawyer from Jurassic park run the show

@rutvikdesai.bsky.social rumor has it you’re coming for a visit? I’m going to try to join you for dinner and your talk. Watch you decide not to come now

My quote of the day We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. Carl Sagan

1/ I’m excited to share our new @NatureHumBehav paper “Social Functioning in Autism: A Systematic Review & Meta-analysis” 🧵We synthesized 35 yrs of autism research to ask a fundamental Question: How is social functioning organized, developed, and altered in autism? Free link: rdcu.be/figGl

Anybody else out there watching Widow’s Bay? Last episode was masterful

My lab is hiring two full-time research assistants! One position is for a project on spatial navigation across the lifespan, with a focus on midlife aging and menopause. The other is for functional imaging and spatial reference frames. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10136 recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10137

Linguist pals! (Esp conversation analysts and those of you who do internet interaction) do you know of any recent papers on synchronous group chat interaction? Strategies for turn taking and the like. Please boost your own work too! I'm working on a project!

@profandyfield.com They're sending these over to the states on the QE2.

Just won a digital humanities fellowship at Temple University! I am officially the Loretta C. Duckworth Fellow for 2026-27. Working with librarians to archive and annotate zillions of conversations between older & younger adults. Very new direction looking forward to learning this shite.

Referred to myself as Serpico in a message protesting salary cuts from our admin but it autocorrected to Septic and now I’m septico

Ready to blow your mind -- my neighbor was a regular appraiser on Antiques Road Show. You would recognize him he looks like Rick Steves (of course he does). He told me in movies when people wear white gloves to handle rare books that's bullshit. Gloves reduce tactile sensitivity causing more tears.
