Just read this super cool paper by @whitneyringwald.bsky.social et al. showing cognitive factors trump emotional states for predicting drinking. Their combo of 120-day EMA + person-specific modeling offers a lot to understand how alcohol use plays out in daily life: psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

If you're interested in self-control, check out this interesting collection of short & up-to-date reviews. Most are available for free (some of my favorites are not, unfortunately). Various issues are addressed, incl. the self-control/habit relationship, effortless control, & cultural differences.

This is how science should work. 💡

As the posts above attest to, there is already a solution. Follow people. Follow lots of people. Organize them in lists. Engage with those lists/people, especially if they engage collegially. Don't worry about getting quiet people to engage. Their fine. Worry more about how you engage. 10/

One of the reasons Bluesky is seeing more engagement: other platforms have adopted the behaviour of de-prioritising external links (like, say, to research papers) due to Ad models. See this: bsky.app/profile/alt... Here links can be freely shared without being drowned out or de-emphasized
