I mean good is bad right?

Oh no another one I didn't include in my Black Archive! But really I think Boucher's mind was a sci fi blender, hard to be sure what influenced what (well other than Forbidden Planet, that one he probably knew he was cribbing from).

Robynn Cox and I have a new paper! It's about the history of predictive algorithms in criminal justice, back in the 1920s-1950s. This paper is the result of five years of research and we're so happy to see it out. 🧡 1/

Thanks for pointing that out... Although what I would really want is for it to be corrected and, if I'm right about what's going on, retracted entirely...

I haven't, which is disappointing, and have been trying to find the time to elevate the situation somehow. . .

Yeah, not lifelong but for many years--I don't think I would have kept eating fish if it weren't so obviously better for me personally. It didn't seem like food at all at first, I know what you mean...

Anyway, a number of the foods are favorites... But I've got a pollen cross contamination thing with bananas, sadly. (Less so with avocadoes, so I go ahead and suffer though that because, hey, avocadoes)

Lol on autocorrect. I've betrayed the vegetarians by eating ethically sourced fish (and oysters as well), because the evidence on health benefits seemed pretty clear. After I started eating fish it also became clear I had been suffering from brain fog for some time without noticing it. Disorienting

Well it was worth a try. None of the other small towns north of Raleigh had the guts to do it I guess

Well, I don't eat things that have been walking around, I guess that's picky eating and not an ethical choice now

I agree with your sentiment, FWIW that's what Americans call Ulster Scots folk. White supremists in the USA have constructed a lot of weird beliefs around the "Scotch-Irish" of late...

Some unbalanced person* has assigned me to teach grad research methods next fall so I'll see what I can do to improve matters a bit at least locally

*Technically I volunteered so that's me

He may or may not have noted that the most googled dream doesn't mean the most common. Most upsetting or confusing, possibly. Which, yes, Freud would have been interested in for sure.

Hey social scientists!

Do you have any thoughts/expertise on how recommendations to select the top 1% of mathematically precocious 3rd graders to propel into STEMM training is based in eugenics ideology?

Please yell in the comments!

We published a paper a couple years ago now that shows that, at all levels of gambling engagement, the simple split between people who gamble on sports and those who do not gamble on sports reveals that those that gamble on sports are at a dramatically higher risk for problems

In Japan they had tofu sticks next to cold lunch meat sausage things in the 7 elevens. Wish I could get those around here!

Fun or "violates GRPD rules," who can tell. May not be there long if the latter turns out to be true...

It's so very obvious that this can't be good, right? Yikes.

Like I understand that in America the default is any way you can think of to make money you must be allowed to try... But even then. Yikes.
