@Pinboard You don't wait in the room to greet the next guest? Guess I'm just old-fashioned

@defnotbeka Yeah I mention that review in the piece, but more in the context of a potential overcorrection. I think Chomsky was mostly right, but what I'm asking about is a lot broader than what he was taking down

[Peter Lewis @plewis67]

@zetalyrae Here's a stronger criticism of the field than the one I made in the first section, based on the same studies I linked to. I would not go this far, but would love to see more replies from within psych that are not just dismissive snark

@pesterhazy It's been growing on me

@ITookTheRoad Yeah I noticed it the other day

I like @NateSilver538, but his "river" type can be a retcon for unethical success or luck, as well as compulsive gambling. Which leads away from the actual "river" to a replacement-level podcast shtick, promoting the same old tech creeps to the same angry audience

@evanewashington The joke is that these guys are rare book collectors

“We will be a great league that has two teams from New York City.”

In which borough will they play sir?

“None. They will play in New Jersey. And approximately 45% of their games will be on national television.”

Wow, these two teams must win very often sir.

“Almost never.”

A video is going to be released shortly that appears to show me chasing waterfalls. I assure y'all that this is a deep fake, as I routinely and religiously stick to the rivers and the lakes that I'm used to and whatnot.
