Related, nothing like a trip to Hot Topic to make a gen x person feel like they've definitely lost track of popular culture

Through a series of unfortunate events I am the only one available to help teen daughter shop for a dress for homecoming. Please send thoughts and prayers

One of them is wearing a Doctor Who related sweater, and a portion of my feed is Doctor Who stuff, so until this moment I wasn't sure what I was seeing wasn't Doctor Who people joking about the article. (Also, bizarrely, the Doctor who wore that sweater literally took down space Thatcher in a story)

Surely a coincidence that this all looks like. . .bubbles. . .

hearing rumors about bill b and unc. really want to be the news org that breaks this news so espn has to refer to the blogblog.

if you know something tell us please.

The psych building at UNC is the same! (Actually so is U Georgia, come to think of it)

Oh, this paper cited me! Funny, I don't remember a 2023 paper I wrote on that topic. . .

That's because it's a YouTube video. Well, that's a first!

Most strawberries in American stores would never be grown by a home gardener, because the sweetest and most flavorful berries are harder to transport. I was recently surprised to find a more like home grown variety (for a high mark up) in Wegmans. England might do better with smaller country?

Those are three things 😂. But they are all correct so maybe the one hardest thing is that there are really always at least three hardest things

The story is from August. . . although there's still a possibility that they couldn't fully deal with the collection without charitable status for some reason, I suppose.

Is this a snakey time of year, I wonder? We ran into one (copperhead) in the woods near Raleigh NC today.

Paul V is also involved, another reason I think they are for real.

I've been keeping track of the organization since it formed (from very afar of course) and I don't think they would intentionally steer people wrong--and if anyone can find episodes in private collections, I think they can. Of course, doesn't guarantee anything... Fingers crossed...

My daughter's high school just won an award for eating more chicken one evening at a Chick-fil-A than another local high school.

[Insert trenchant observation about capitalism here]

(Classic) Doctor Who Historical Costumes: The Talons of Weng-Chiang Set the story in Victorian London, give it a Sherlock Holmes rip-off, add a dash of misogyny, top it off with a lot of yellowface racism, and throw in a giant rat! What do you get? Doctor Who&#8217…

I wondered if Leela is supposed to be dressed as a boy and perhaps not apparently: frockflicks.com/classic-doct...

I mean he's doing his best 🤣

Got to see him once in a small venue, he clearly wanted to show us an experimental film primarily and had resigned himself to having to play some hits to get the audience there--which ultimately might be the most Dolby he ever Dolby'd, come to think of it

If you're into Doctor Who you know why I'm reposting this. If not, think of your favorite show, imagine it's been running off and on for 60 years and there are missing episodes that you haven't seen but they might still exist and this group seems like they can actually find them. Cautious hooray!

Everything these folks have said and done makes me (and others I trust) think they are the real deal, doing everything really professionally, carefully, and ethically. I expect we'll be seeing some formerly missing episodes soon ish or they wouldn't have said anything.

I was also trained to do the same--often because we wanted to do things that were deep in the syntax storehouse but not available on the points and clicks. . .

Anyway, it's kind of symptomatic of the whole thing. Sure you can share syntax; it only takes a bit of thought and planning. Aye, there's the rub.

People are often surprised that SPSS has syntax. It is right in the output, but hard to see and use. Pasting it into a syntax file with each analysis is not hard, but one needs to know how to do it. Then one needs to figure out that there's nothing stopping you from pasting it into a text file.

Pretty excited about this one. In this paper, we discuss the replication/credibility crisis, the factors that contribute to it, and clinical psychology's slow (really slow) progress in dealing with it. We offer a competency-based fraemwork for improving our training of future scholars.

LOL Downton Conclair

(Laughing not to cry of course)

You're reading my mind--in that I thought "Oh, that's why everyone likes CLPM so much, they always find something."

As you know, there's a not-a-joke tendency in psych to assume that if we've hypothesized a connection it must exist, we just didn't look hard enough/at the right time scale/etc.

If you're using (regular) cross-lagged panel models, this study suggests you also have to accept that causal effects are almost everywhere: Everything causes everything else. If you don't think this is true, you probably shouldn't use that model, because that's the result the model will give you.

We have a new preprint out - continuing to try and move the needle on improving research in clinical psych

New paper led by @drlynam.bsky.social on the need for more training in and engagement with open science practices in clinical psych programs. It has been difficult to make progress due to a variety of barriers, including students working in labs uninterested or hostile to these approaches.

Also if anyone knows Weird Al Yankovic…do your thing. I think he’d be a lot of fun to assist with Quack-O-Gram deliveries.
