Mobilisation lycéenne : Des interdictions préfectorales de « port d'équipements de protection » contre la police sont suspendues. Car ces mesures sont bien trop générales & portent donc une atteinte grave aux libertés fondamentales. [TA de Lyon & TA d'Amiens, 8 oct. 2026, n° 2613629 & 2604989]

9. L’article 1er de l’arrêté de la préfète de l’Aisne CAB n°2026/448 en date du 7
octobre 2026 interdit selon ses propres termes, pour la journée du 8 octobre 2026 de 7h à 21h,
«sauf pour les personnes en justifiant l’exercice pour leur activité professionnelle, le port et le
transport, sans motif légitime, (…) d’équipements de protection destinés à mettre en échec tout ou
partie des moyens utilisés par les représentants de la force publique ( …) dans les communes de
Laon, Saint-Quentin, Chauny, Château-Thierry et Villers-Cotterêts »» Cette interdiction
particulière n’est ainsi pas limitée aux abords immédiats des établissements scolaires susceptibles
d’être concernés par des troubles à l’ordre public au cours de la journée du 8 octobre 2026 et
concerne au contraire non seulement tous les cortèges et défilés se réunissant dans ces communes
au cours de cette journée de mobilisation nationale, y compris ceux déclarés et autorisés et pour
lesquels aucun trouble n’est prévisible, mais également l’ensemble de l’espace public de toutes les
principales villes de l’Aisne. Cette interdiction ne prévoit par ailleurs aucune exception précise
autre que de nature professionnelle, notamment en matière médicale ou de sécurité routière. En
outre, elle ne définit en rien ce que constituent pour son sens et son application les « équipements
de protection destinés à mettre en échec tout ou partie des moyens utilisés par les représentants
de la force publique », alors que ce terme particulièrement englobant peut recouvrir des objets du
quotidien ne présentant en eux-mêmes aucun risque tant pour leurs porteurs que pour les membres
des forces de l’ordre, tels que du sérum physiologique, des masques chirurgicaux ou, encore, des
bonnets et des écharpes. Enfin, comme le fait valoir à raison l’association requérante, est déjà
prohibé le fait pour une personne, au sein ou aux abords immédiats d'une manifestation sur la voie
publique, de dissimuler volontairement son visage afin de ne pas être…

Psychology is in the middle of several overlapping crises—replication, generalisability, theory—but this isn't new. Crisis discussions first appeared in the 1920s (!?). The specific topics have changed but the structure seems kind of similar, maybe we can learn something from this? doi.org/czvw7m

The second half of the 1920s may be called ‘‘the Golden Age’’ of crisis declarations in psychology. The diagnosis became so widespread that in 1926 the then influential Viennese psychologist and philosopher Karl Bühler wrote that ‘‘one can now even read in the newspapers that there is a crisis in psychology’’ (Bühler, 1926, p. 455). A great number of such declarations appeared in articles and even book-length studies coming from quite different schools and traditions in psychology (see contributions by Allesch, Hatfield, Hyman, and Sturm in this volume) and from several countries throughout Europe and from North America, having repercussions, too, for philosophy (Feest, this volume).

Updates to #PsyArXiv moderation policies blog.psyarxiv.com/2026/03/23/u...

"From March 2026, moderators have added additional checks to ensure that authors have complied with all the terms of service for PsyArXiv. Moderators will also use authors’ past publication record to establish scholarly expertise for formats such as reviews, case studies, opinion pieces, etc. or topics where moderators have less experience, such as theories of consciousness, linguistics, philosophy, psychiatry, computational theory, etc. Such formats and topics require more specialist knowledge to establish whether they are in scope as scientific psychology, and what their scholarly contribution represents; hence, submissions cannot be evaluated by moderators in only a few minutes, and we rely on established scholarship to inform decisions. Submissions also need to be complete enough that they represent an independent contribution to the field of psychology, so slide decks and working papers presented as notes or research proposals or with incomplete methods will no longer be accepted into the archive, as they also require more than a few minutes to evaluate. We encourage authors to use OSF projects to record and version work-in-progress. However, PsyArXiv continues to accept stage 1 registered reports, where they pass standard checks for well-crafted registered reports. "
