Yes, it's stockinette! Not sure why there are two different terms, but I love to blow my friends' mind by telling them their t-shirts are knit, like my sweaters :-)

I read (but can’t find the source again) that the introduction of email made office work more expensive because now the highly trained, expensive personnel does the (previously too badly paid) secretarial work instead, and that workload increased b/c the barrier to contact someone is lower than ever

I think (but don’t know) that this also happened in the engineering/architectural world with the large-scale use of concrete: it’s easier than previous buildin techniques, but made elaborate style elements almost completely disappear.

Julia Eberlen @juliaeberlen.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

To me, this is also similar to the current situation: it is not a question of whether we are capable of writing and thinking, it’s only a question of how much effort we are willing or allowed to expend.

Although I disagree that (bobbin) lacemakingn, crocheting and knitting are complex. They just take years of practice of the same and closely related movements to produce increasingly neater fabric faster. That’s not everyone’s thing and that’s ok, but it doesn’t make the craft itself difficult.

As we will get used to inferior, “good enough” language productions, we have gotten used to inferior textiles a long time ago. @trufelman.bsky.social made a wonderful episode about the history of lace and the labour behind it (crochet and bobbin). articlesofinterest.substack.com/p/lace-and-l...

I'm pretty sure for social psychology, the @irsp-rips.bsky.social meets your criteria. Because it's funded by @adrips-comm.bsky.social membership fees it's free to publish even for non-members, as a service to the field, and entirely OA. Caveat: for point 2b, it depends on your definition of "fast"

PNAS charges $5575 for immediate access at $3925 for delayed open access, because they are greedy pigs without shame.

This book is excellent if you ever need arguments on why the social sciences and humanities are an integral part of progress and why the efforts to defund them are even more catastrophic than one might think! No social sciences => no cure can get where it needs to be, no humanities => no John Green.

Every time a researcher doesn't do science outreach b/c their research results are not yet 100% certain (spoiler: that will never happen), I think of cases like this. Policy makers will do stupid shit based on "expert opinion". If scientists don't put the knowledge out there, somebody else will.

In science (and in life I guess) every tool or method we use can be misused. It’s rarely the tool‘s fault that the user has ill intentions. Some are easier to misuse and therefore arguably could be changed, but nothing absolves us from our responsibility to be honest researchers.

Using an LLM to write a research proposal will not give you a competitive edge, it will just make it harder for reviewers to identify the quality of your ideas behind all the shiny words. Don't make it harder for them to appreciate *your* work.
