Hey, Adam? People are being murdered in the street and others are being dragged away to concentration camps. Does organizational psychology have anything to say about that? Or are you only here for the feel-good sound bites?

Ya, I thought "eternal rest," yadda yadda yadda.

Then I realized...

Like you, Herr @iosyislam.bsky.social, I'm a big proponent of teaching employees to listen more attentively to their managers!

In my day, a "Brooklyn clothesline" meant something much more violent.

Wait--I thought this WAS the post-apocalypse!

I had better start collecting books to stack all around me, then. Is there time to find my second pair of glasses, I wonder? No matter! I'm sure I won't need them...

And there will be just as many #IOPsych jobs in the post-apocalypse as there are now!

I was originally going to say "sheetrock" but assumed you moderns wouldn't get the reference.

More like "Lincoln the Drywall Installer" if you ask me.

Aud Wiedersehen, Gil Gerard!

On the occasion of my alleged death 109 years ago today, President Woodrow Wilson released this message in what is now recognized as a completely normal Presidential sentiment that should be shared with the Nation and the World, at large.

How It Feels to be Run Over by a Car (1900). Directed by Cecil M. Hepworth, who later directed the classic 1900 sequel, Explosion of a Motor Car.

Make sure you stay for the end of this 60 second classic thriller...if you haven't run from the theater screaming!

I'm waiting until RJ Reynolds reviews the data.

Reminds me of the cigarette smoke from students floating above the Harvard Union building back in the day.

I look forward to RFK Jr discovering Hans Eysenck's studies that showed personality causes cancer--not smoking!

How I miss my between-courses cigars when dining out...

From now on, the "Four-Fifths Rule" for spotting disparate impact in hiring will be replaced by the "Five-Second Rule" more commonly used for food that has been dropped on the ground.

Does it matter? Nothing new to report about either since the early 70s.

An inspiring painting reminding us of the dangers of giving in to workers' demands.

Trust me: Royce, Palmer, and James are much scarier.

They couldn't get me to sit for this one. That blank spot in the middle was supposed to be me!

Lovely! Looks just like my Harvard Professor's Lounge in 1914!

Hmm...I don't recall us looking so diversified as in this painting, though.

That one gentleman looks like a shifty-eyed Presbyterian!

Woke!

This one still gives me the bumps from the goose!

So much action and drama! Is he being chased? Oh no! Why? Or is he chasing someone? But whom? The constant cliffhanger! Why was there no sequel?

The Father of #FilmTheory must go lie down now.

What a typically "evergreen" American painting!

It will never be out of style in this country, it seems.

I will submit my commentary right now:

"When Labor pays #IOPsych consultants like Management there will be much less neglect and antipathy."

Please pass that along to IOP for me.

I'm with you on this one, Herr @mzickar.bsky.social!

Without late night child labor, how many restaurants and stores will have to close early--or entirely--because of short-sighted politicians like Ohio's Gov. DeWine?

Let the children work!

Who is with me and Herr Doktor Zickar?!
