There Is an Information Blackout at Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Migrant Detention Camp Public records related to Florida’s so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention camp have...

Over 90 pages of "Alligator Alcatraz" files disappeared as I was looking at them and reporting on the situation. Our public records requests are getting stonewalled. A slew of experts told me this all seems to be illegal. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/th...

Yeah, that checking the box was my intuition, too. Not surprising that these types of cases are pretty fringe though

Thanks for the response! Out of curiosity, how are y’all coding it if the raw data is coupled with open code showing the pipeline from raw data to clean data (as described in the manuscript)?

Let us know what you think!

Question for my open science peeps! @nphillips36.bsky.social and I are working on a lit review where we’re coding whether or not manuscripts have open data.
How should we handle cases where authors provide links to big, “open” datasets? In some of these cases, the data are hidden behind so much…

Reposting for the morning crowd — recs would be appreciated!

For the quanty folks: Any go-to readings comparing approaches to modeling nonlinearity? Seeing more on splines, fractional polynomials, etc., but struggling to find clear head-to-head comparisons or discussions of tradeoffs.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Same here lol -- I did not post it separately on purpose

It's a good time to be an antagonism researcher (because of this issue and for the many other reasons)

Would love to see one of these reasonable applications, if you have any examples in mind. Thanks!

@drandreahoward.bsky.social, hold my beer..

Latent class growth models are worse than useless, and we've known this for more than 20 years.

(See Bauer 2007)

Very cool! I appreciate the thoughtful response and congrats on a really interesting paper

Thanks for sharing! Quick question for y'all: How did you differentiate between DQRT as a reflection of processing speed vs DQRT as a reflection of problematic response styles (e.g., item rushing, item skipping, careless responding, etc.)?

Looooong past time. Tbh, I can’t believe this needs to be said.

The main figure from the voter turnout paper -- no effect of any nudge intervention on voter turnout.

A *null* result I'm very proud of!

Led by Rustam Romaniuc, 35 coauthors from all over France tested nudge interventions to boost voter turnout.

None worked, and we are possibly not surprised -- but a well-powered null result *is* a result!

The field has to accept that there is no good science without transparency. Transparency does not guarantee good science but only transparent science can be good (i.e. credible).

Kennedy Removes All C.D.C. Vaccine Panel Experts

As expected, RFK Jr. was lying during his confirmation hearing and now is ratfucking the vaccination system in the US.

The vast majority of the public does not want this and yet again it’s clear that the Republican administration does not serve the electorate.

"No study reached the sufficient sample size to detect a medium effect"

Trump Administration Ends Program Critical to Search for an H.I.V. Vaccine

I can’t think of a presidency that has done more open and undeniable damage to this country, and the wider world, in such a short space of time, than this one.

Shocking, despicable:

This should absolutely be a scandal which people lose their jobs over. You'd have to assume that anyone in power actually cares though to think that would happen, which obviously would be a bold assumption in present circumstances.

Excited to see Leigha Rose's thesis in print at CPS. Tested whether psychopathic traits change over 10 years in middle-later life. Little evidence of change across domains. When traits did change, they were correlated with changes in health/functioning.

Check out our forthcoming viewpoint article in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science in which we argue that it is well past time to abandon the term 'dark' to describe antagonistic traits. w/ @jdmiller.bsky.social and @drlynam.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Crystal Palace have done it. They have won their first ever major trophy.

Awesome, thank you!

Reposting this for the morning crowd. Any recs would be very appreciated!

Nice, thanks!

Question for the hive mind: @courtlandhyatt.bsky.social and I are conducting a scoping review that requires us to download all articles published in multiple academic journals over several years. Anybody know of a way to do this that doesn't require us to individually download each article?
