"Scarlet & Gray" Associate Professor in the School of Communication at OSU. I study narratives, characters, and moral judgment processes as they relate to the consumption of media.

A cool article applying my favorite theory (ADT) to explain how norms expressed in online comments can alter moral judgment processes of unjustified violence.

21.07.2025 13:57 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0A four-panel "clown makeup" meme humorously depicting the stages of overestimating time saved by scripting in R. Panel 1: A man begins applying clown makeup. Caption: "I'm going to have to copy the results from the same analysis conducted on 4 datasets." Panel 2: He applies more makeup. Caption: "I'll write an R script." Panel 3: He puts on a rainbow wig. Caption: "It'll output the results for me in a clear and ready to edit format." Panel 4: Fully dressed as a clown. Caption: "I'm going to save so much time as compared to copying and pasting."
Maybe I'm just terrible at R but I don't think it has ever saved me time.
