Good luck!

Congrats!

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

I think it would be fine to do that so your work may not be entirely wasted. But I would definitely also write to the handling editor and EIC complaining about their process. Appalling!

Phenomenal effort here by the moderating team to fix this issue so quickly (over 12000 preprints checked in the last few weeks). So many people stepped up. Community spirit like this is one of many reasons why SIPS is such a great organisation advancing rigorous psychological science. Bravo!

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Literally boss level cringe

That's where my list comes in. A one-off edgy thing, ok, but a consistent pattern, no.

And there are always going to be disciplinary boundary cases. Should something go to psy, bio, med, or soc? I don't think that's worth losing much sleep over...

The guidelines are necessarily broad so as to avoid moderating a preprint turning into the equivalent of marking a thesis. We aim to err on the side of inclusivity, although considerably more stringent than before -- no more AI slop or personal manifestos. Most of that has now gone or will go soon

Yes, but I'm a moderator there and you'd be on my list of repeat offenders who are automatically rejected...

Update to PsyArXiv Policy PsyArXiv is updating its policies to formalize the guidelines that had already been in place. These policies clarify what types of contributions are appropriate to submit to PsyArXiv, and spell out…

⚠️ PsyArXiv is updating its policies in light of a higher volume of low quality submissions and our recent switch to a pre-moderation workflow.
