Fully expecting this to be based on a tiny self-selected sample predisposed to aggression, with participants coached on how to act, exaggerated performances for observers, all run by a host with a flair for showmanship but questionable ethical instincts. You know, a direct replication

Website with an interactive feature: Enter big 5 personality traits and it would suggest specific movie titles. You could also search movie titles and see personality traits of people who picked that one as a favorite. Maybe data was pulled from Yang (2023) Can't find it now! Anybody have a hint?

Seen head to toe, the mullet-haired Invisible Girl of the Fantastic Four stands taller than the red rectangle behind her and stands within a solid orange-ish background behind that. 
She says, "The Psycho-Man did more than twist my emotions. He forced me to look into the deepest corners of my SOUL, forced me to confront who I am, what I have become. When we rocketed into the cosmic ray belt, when we gained our super-powers, we LOST something. An innocence. A child-like naivety. For a long time I've tried to go on as if we're still the same people we used to be. As if I was still the same. But I'm not. Not after all that's happened to us. Not after what the Psycho-Man did to me. There is no INVISIBLE GIRL anymore, Reed. She DIED when the Psycho-Man twisted her soul. From now on, I am the INVISIBLE WOMAN!"

If you have access to any the following stats software, would you be willing to run some chi squared tests on a handful of simulated datasets and send me results? I need to verify that that my R implementation of what other software does is correct. - Stata - SAS - StatXact - SPSS DM me :)

 Following the last few years I’m feeling empty and more cynical than ever. I’m losing faith in other people, and I’m scared to pass these feelings to my little son. Do you still believe in Us (human beings)?

This should absolutely be a scandal which people lose their jobs over. You'd have to assume that anyone in power actually cares though to think that would happen, which obviously would be a bold assumption in present circumstances.

Did you know that there is an academic conference within the San Diego Comic Convention? It's called the Comic Arts Conference. They just gave permission for presenters to announce that they'll be presenting there. This will be exactly 30 years since the last time I attended SDCC--pretty exciting!

It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ***ever observed in land animals***.

Thanks to @aaronhester.bsky.social for visiting my comics & mental illness class today. His comic Quick! I'm Melting! is highly recommended. It provides a well plotted and satisfying glimpse into developmental and mental health concerns of a post-college adult. Tasty character design too!

Thrilled to host @mardoucomics.bsky.social in my comics and mental illness class today. Past Tense is likely the most complete account of a course of psychotherapy in comics. Masterful weaving of three very complex topics: personal accounts of family therapy and psychotherapy plus IFS.

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH. Pass it on!
