Should you attend #ICA25 in Denver? 🌍✈️ In a time of political uncertainty, many international scholars are grappling with this question. Read this month's President-Elect's column where Thomas Hanitzsch discusses this very question. buff.ly/VHYX9GQ

I desperately want an AI that submits travel reports for me so I can get reimbursed for my $12 breakfast without spending way more of my time than that $12 is worth to do it.

Is that what's being built or what I'm being offered? Of course not.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.

The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

I followed both NCA and ICA and then looked through their list of followers to re-find some of the people I used to follow on X.

There already was a Brainy Smurf. Does that mean there can only be 1 smart one?

It may seem strange to folks outside of academia, but there has been a line of prominent research within it arguing that misinformation isn't a problem. This paper pushes back, noting how those arguments often rely on poor definitions & operationalizations of what misinformation is & how it works.

Yes! As a surprise for my family, I booked a “beach igloo” at the Hotel de Coronado in San Diego this week and it comes with s’mores and a fire pit.!

I saw the smiling face of one of my favorite people on the #NCA2024 memorial wall. She is missed by many. ❤️

If any grad students will be at #NCA2024, I’ll be at the UCSB Grad Open House booth from 2:30 on. See you in New Orleans!
