I considered other names for my band: Hugo and the Statistical Outliers Hugo and the False Positives Hugo and the Null Hypotheses Hugo and the Gas Light Orchestra Hugo and the Placebos Hugo and the Unconditioned Stimuli My band hated all of them for some reason.

My Oompah-Ska fusion band, "Hugo Münsterberg and the Significant Differences," are willing to play at the America 250 celebration in exchange for immunity from ICE. #IOPsych

The #SIOP26 Conference starts on Wednesday. You know what that means--time to get cracking on that paper that got accepted! #IOPsych #Mondays

Wait. What exactly happened now, Herr @vrboombatzmdphd.bsky.social? Were you there to listen to a paper or were you presenting a paper?

Casey seems to be more of a "putz" than a "putsch"--I'll pass. Do I live in Ohio? Come now, Herr @mzickar.bsky.social! You know that I'm a Harvard man, through and through. I have no wish to live on the windy plains of Bowling Green, Ohio. I would lose too many hats!

His last name is "Putsch"? Really? As in Casey "Beer Hall" Putsch? One does not "vote" for a putsch. You "make" a putsch happen!

I could barely find the time to lecture to students let alone faculty! This was why I wrote books. There's only so much attention even I can give to others throughout the day.

Hey, Adam? People are being murdered in the street and others are being dragged away to concentration camps. Does organizational psychology have anything to say about that? Or are you only here for the feel-good sound bites?

Wait--I thought this WAS the post-apocalypse! I had better start collecting books to stack all around me, then. Is there time to find my second pair of glasses, I wonder? No matter! I'm sure I won't need them...

On the occasion of my alleged death 109 years ago today, President Woodrow Wilson released this message in what is now recognized as a completely normal Presidential sentiment that should be shared with the Nation and the World, at large. #IOPsych #FilmTheory

How It Feels to be Run Over by a Car (1900). Directed by Cecil M. Hepworth, who later directed the classic 1900 sequel, Explosion of a Motor Car. Make sure you stay for the end of this 60 second classic thriller...if you haven't run from the theater screaming!

Reminds me of the cigarette smoke from students floating above the Harvard Union building back in the day. I look forward to RFK Jr discovering Hans Eysenck's studies that showed personality causes cancer--not smoking! How I miss my between-courses cigars when dining out... #IOPsych

From now on, the "Four-Fifths Rule" for spotting disparate impact in hiring will be replaced by the "Five-Second Rule" more commonly used for food that has been dropped on the ground. #IOPsych

Lovely! Looks just like my Harvard Professor's Lounge in 1914! Hmm...I don't recall us looking so diversified as in this painting, though. That one gentleman looks like a shifty-eyed Presbyterian! Woke!

This one still gives me the bumps from the goose! So much action and drama! Is he being chased? Oh no! Why? Or is he chasing someone? But whom? The constant cliffhanger! Why was there no sequel? The Father of #FilmTheory must go lie down now.

I'm with you on this one, Herr @mzickar.bsky.social! Without late night child labor, how many restaurants and stores will have to close early--or entirely--because of short-sighted politicians like Ohio's Gov. DeWine? Let the children work! Who is with me and Herr Doktor Zickar?!

Of course! Lincoln created the holiday just a few months after I was born. It's like he had a feeling that America should be thankful for something important. I like to think that if there hadn't been a war going on, he probably would have come to Danzig carrying gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
