I saw a post (maybe on linkedin) about how non-stats people make data requests (e.g., what's the proportion of people who like apples and also own a unicycle) and think that the data just magically exists and...

Isn't it interesting that it's a "big tent" when we talk about including conservatives but a "purity test" when we talk about protecting marginalized people? So the litmus test for the centrists isn't actually if we're inclusive, but rather if we're willing to exclude groups THEY don't like.

the only skip logic i care about is skipping my way to gainful employment

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

villain origin story: hours into meticulously making sure a 3-hour long survey (don't ask) functions properly and hitting a question that does not let me proceed

“The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work.” — Augusten Burroughs #WritingSky #AcademicSky

Everything’s been so bad I didn’t have a chance to actually read more about this, but holy god this is bleak. In another section, he is seeking the ability to be able to selectively revoke passports based on these speech-based criteria. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...

In a new paper, my colleagues and I set out to demonstrate how method biases can create spurious findings in relationship science, by using a seemingly meaningless scale (e.g., "My relationship has very good Saturn") to predict relationship outcomes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity. As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

Health #psych and other health researchers: Is there a version of the Health Anxiety Inventory that's in a Likert format? The short version consists of 18 items with four distinct statements so participants are reading 72 statements overall. I'd like to keep my survey short :)

Y'know what? I'm gonna say it. Imagine how much of a coward you have to be, as a transphobe, if it took Donald Trump declaring open season on trans people for you to feel safe being transphobic. Say what you will about Janice Raymond, she been out here since the 70's. This guy? Lowest of cowards.

the richest man in the world buying a presidential election, getting run out of the administration for being a weird diva, then pivoting to jerking it to anime cartoons full time is somehow more Roman than anything that ever happened in Rome

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

i liked the new King of the Hill anime but i think they should've confirmed that Kahn is a trump supporter

Okay only had time to skim but this seems important for medical providers to know, especially as so much GLP-1 use goes retail (limited real medical counseling happening in some of these places.).

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life?
