i think the funniest thing about having existed on academic twitter is that you could be posting through a mental health crisis and people will tell you your post is inspiring

they should make the substance but for academics

Any good tips for getting into NLP? Should I just dig into text mining with R book? Any open courses etc #rstats #databs

the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over

DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE

It’s worth emphasizing that the Supreme Court has propped up this presidential lawlessness.

When Congress enacted limits on presidential power in 1973, it included an enforcement provision. If the president said there’s an “emergency from attack” and Congress disagreed, it could order troops home.

I like the idea that GUIs made a lot of stats too accessible without the requisite knowledge that contributes to our current poor scientific practices, but we are also being encouraged to adopt AI to streamline our work

Another cool data blitz from #SPSP political psych precon. People asume there are two large coalitions in the U.S.: liberals & conservatives. But, work by @isaiasghezae.bsky.social suggests there are instead 3: (1) conservatives,
(2) ideological liberals, and (3) a liberal demographic group.

Remember, there's a human on the other side of the phone. And they too, can suffer.

They legitimately crashed out and asked my wife to stop calling their number.

So naturally, she started calling every other number they had as well as a form of malicious compliance. They do not like it when you do this--so isn't that reason enough to do it?

Has anyone else had so much negative emotion attached to a project you can't physically bring yourself to work on it

Giving up trying to interpret this complex analysis and doing something simpler.

like...if i want to post a post-print

ok so what do you do if you published two pre-prints, but now have decided to combine them into a single paper because (i) it would make a stronger contribution and (ii) you don't want to go through the review process for two manuscripts lmao

TMU mentioned???

Manuscripts written moments before disaster

Revisiting a manuscript that fell off my radar but was otherwise "ready to submit" and seeing I wrote the line "In the United States, political discourse on immigration has become more positive" lmao

Yet they'll let you hold it concurrently with a tri-agency postdoc fellowship, so long as the projects are distinct. So they'll give you a salary to work for a faculty member and let you have your own funds on the side. But Carney-forbid we have an advisor willing to hire us and let us have autonomy

Maybe I'll write about this when it's all said and done, but finding out you can get a ECR project grant as a postdoc, but can't be paid out of that grant, and then not being able to be paid as a postdoc out of *any other* grant is a fun and interesting way the Canadian government supports ECRs

another day another professional development event where the school acts like postdocs are students bc what do you mean what's my graduate program?

Problem about the loneliness epidemic is, it's everywhere except in representative survey data. Let's look at where the claim comes from. 1/

I hope someone told them to touch grass

In Davis a destructive anti-trans activist routinely stalks children with her camera, doxxes trans folks, and assaults people. She harms people on purpose, on camera.

She's supported by a national orgs that incentivizes her behavior for clicks. They want to manufacture perception, not change minds.

”Most of the applications of clustering are not well thought out, not even considering whether observation clustering aligns with clinical goals.”

YES.
Clustering has become a huge fad in psychology as well, I see it everywhere.

One unintended skill I developed from posting too much is that I am now very comfortable editing my papers on my phone.
