David Frum nails it here. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Against Canada, Trump is fighting a trade war that very few Americans support, under leadership that most Americans reject, to achieve results that virtually all Americans would dismiss as pointless if not crazy.

Against Trump, Canadians are fighting a trade war that the great majority support, under leadership that commands broad assent, to defend their independence and self-respect. That’s a war that even the weaker side can win, especially if it needs to hold on only a few months longer to survive.

It was a pleasure working Madeleine Jelic this summer as part of the USRI program at Western. She coded open science practices (among other things) in every article in 2 relationship science journals (PR, JSPR) in 2004, 2014 and 2024. Engagement with OS practices improving, but still well below 50%.

Was talking to my daughter about the old Kurt Vonnegut book titled "Player Piano" tonight (great book IMO, and very relevant given the AI bubble of today). Came across this quote: “Everything you think you think because somebody promoted the ideas. Education—nothing but promotion.”

New replication paper is out in Meta-Psychology "Reality Television Shows Focusing on Sexual Relationships and College Students’ Engagement in One-Night Stands: A Replication Report". Shout out to lead author and senior grad student Somer Schaffer. Open access: open.lnu.se/index.php/me...

Image of a quote. Text of quote: "This means that the association could equally reflect that individuals with more permissive attitudes
and behaviors are drawn to sexual relationship-focused
reality programming. Thus, while the pattern is robust
across samples, it challenges the causal interpretation
offered by the original authors and highlights the need
for longitudinal or experimental research to clarify directionality.
Misinterpreting these relationships as causal could
reinforce moral panic or lead to oversimplified policy
responses. In light of this, the original argument by Fogel
and Kovalenko (2013) for public health interventions
aimed at limiting reality TV exposure may be misguided.
A more constructive approach would emphasize
media literacy, open sexual communication, and the
promotion of informed, safe sexual choices rather than
censorship or restriction."

This meta analysis reminded me of a research co-authored by my colleague Erin Heerey on "The Role of Experimenter Belief in Social Priming" (see abstract below). Cool study (and meta analysis).

Abstract of paper: Research suggests that stimuli that prime social concepts can fundamentally alter people’s behavior. However, most
researchers who conduct priming studies fail to explicitly report double-blind procedures. Because experimenter expectations may influence participant behavior, we asked whether a short pre-experiment interaction between participants and experimenters would contribute to priming effects when experimenters were not blind to participant condition. An initial double-blind experiment failed to demonstrate the expected effects of a social prime on executive
cognition. To determine whether double-blind procedures caused this result, we independently manipulated participants’ exposure to a prime and experimenters’ belief about which prime participants received. Across four experiments, we found that experimenter belief, rather than prime condition, altered participant behavior. Experimenter belief also
altered participants’ perceptions of their experimenter, suggesting that differences in experimenter behavior across conditions caused the effect. Findings reinforce double-blind designs as experimental best practice and suggest that people’s prior beliefs have important consequences for shaping behavior with an interaction partner.

From an old slide deck on replication research. Rewatching this episode of the Big Bang Theory hit differently after my own experiences with conducting replication research ;)

Image of a scene from the Big Bang Theory. Leonard is showing his mother Beverley around his University. When she learns that his recent research is attempting to "replicate" the research of an Italian group, Beverley is not very impressed. Beverley asks, "So, no original research?". Leonard says "no". Beverley responds, saying "Well, what's the point in my seeing it? I could just read the paper the Italians wrote."

Vonnegut, in his 1952 book “Player Piano”, wrote about a dystopian world and the people struggling to sort it all out. When too many people are made redundant with technology, then what happens? Worth another read IMO.

Learned last week that the new version of the OSF removed the “comments” function. I really liked it, but I guess not used enough overall. So far not impressed with the user facing side of the OSF—feels like a house mid construction; it stands and has a roof and windows, but no finishing touches.

I certainly was not able to predict specifically what would happen, but the evidence was clear enough in September 2024 that the US was going to a dark place if/when Big T won the election. And that darkness casts a long shadow, with threats to former friends and brutality within. Hate and greed.
