A lunch full of my favorite veggies: salsa, tomatoes, avocados and olives over refried beans. These are all veggies, right?

Yes, makes sense! Bad review either way.

Maybe they left off the word "no" and also didn't read the limitations section?

Tomorrow is a general strike in the U.S. to protest ICE. Try not to buy anything and skip work or school if you can.

Changing Norms Following the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election: The Trump Effect on Prejudice Redux Samuel E. Arnold, Jenniffer Wong Chavez, Kelly S. Swanson, and Christian S. Crandall Abstract Following the 2016 U.S. Presidential election of Donald Trump, prejudice toward groups targeted during his campaign (e.g., Asian Americans, Mexicans) become more acceptable. By contrast, both Trump and Clinton voters reported less prejudice of their own. We conducted a 2024 conceptual replication, measuring perceived norms of prejudice and own-prejudice toward 128 groups, both before (N = 362) and after (N = 261) the U.S. election. We separately measured the negativity of Trump's campaign rhetoric toward these groups (N = 188). Levels of prejudice and perceived norms of prejudice acceptability were mostly stable pre-/post-election, but Trump's negative rhetoric predicted an increase in perceived acceptability of prejudice among targeted groups (replicating the 2016 results), and a rise in selt-reported prejudice in the same groups post-election (reversing the 2016 results). Despite changes in the sociopolitical context between elections, the election of a leading politician who campaigned on prejudice was again associated with increases in the acceptability of prejudice.

Did Trump’s 2024 re-election make it okay to be openly prejudiced? New work from @chriscrandall.bsky.social suggests it did. The more negatively Trump spoke about a group, the more okay it became to express prejudice (and the more prejudiced people were) towards that group after the election.

Did you miss the Early Bird Registration Deadline for the virtual SIPS@SPSP 2026: “Improving Open Science Resources for Social-Personality Psychology?”

Don't worry, you can still register at the normal rate!

Don't miss the opportunity to join an exciting online meeting!

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

Just spit balling: Why established measures are not always better than starting from scratch. Finding problems by testing questionnaires with someone new to it, maybe have them find the problem in bad questions.

Enjoying some renovation shows today... except the parts where they joke about how the man never empties the dishwasher, laundry, etc. but makes decisions with his head and the woman makes decisions with her heart.

Let me know if you have questions! We're excited about this hire.

“Institutions talk a lot about inclusion, but there is less patience for discomfort, esp if [it] comes from immigrants or people of colour.” As an intl student, she added, “The message wasn’t always explicit but was there: you’re here conditionally, and you can be made to feel that very quickly.”

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.

Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Yes! That's a very helpful distinction. Thank you!

That makes sense. I'm trying to think of ways we can do better in healthcare data.

Do you think there are places where it should be used? Like in data describing the sex of infants or in reporting stats about larger groups for healthcare (along with gender identity) or in countries where being trans is illegal?

It's super easy to exercise your choice as a consumer. And if more people did, these companies would be more receptive to change. I switched from Spotify to Qobuz last year and am loving it. They also pay artists more than other streaming services.

Have you heard of anything else we can do beyond protesting?

Does anyone know about this organization calling for a general strike in the U.S.? generalstrikeus.com
