Clown shoes for the clown show. Because the fragile people in the highest positions of government feel compelled to exaggerate their foot sizes and because welcoming humiliation by him is how they signal loyalty. If this was a show, I'd think it was extremely well written.

With public support rising (abolish ICE up to +5 among all adults, +12 indep, +61 dem), @schumer.senate.gov and D leadership is pulling back from an already pitifully soft position. Trump's private army will inevitably be used for voter suppression. Dem leaders are intentionally throwing the game.

CogSci is always a blast, but this year was particularly special. Thanks very much to the Glushko Dissertation Prize Committee, my amazing advisors and collaborators, and the folks who came to the awards presentations despite some other really interesting sessions running at the same time.

Really appreciate this thoughtful writeup on my PhD work by the Society for Affective Science (SAS). society-for-affective-science.org/issue-4-scie... It was an enormous joy to develop these ideas with @rebeccasaxe.bsky.social, who was involved in every aspect of my thesis,

It's pretty fantastic that bees and humans have overlapping aesthetic preferences. (A sunflower from my folks' garden.)

Reading about the Gino HBS case I was blindsided by the fact that it was discovered because of the Ariely case. Each is individually so ridiculous, but together… just… datacolada.org/109

Deeply honored to receive the Best Dissertation Award from SAS. It has been an enormous joy to develop these ideas with Rebecca Saxe, who was involved in every aspect of my thesis and fundamentally shaped how I think about the mind, science, and mentorship.
