Mild-mannered, fish-out-of-water professor of social psychology in Maine. Once mistaken for Diddy during a road race.

I made a movie, a documentary about burlesque. Check out the trailer: https://t.co/QWaXWmKk8M

New episode is live. Political scientist Rose McDermott chats with me about political psychology, prospect theory, and evolutionary theory, as well as Ukraine. https://t.co/8YoGv2fdEt

A new episode drops tomorrow, touching on a lot of things, including evolutionary theory, prospect theory, and their implications for politics, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict. https://t.co/77Im6tKM5B

Choose your favorite metaphor: slow burn or dumpster fire. Either way, the flames are here than at Bluesky. For now, I'm back.

It's a documentary about burlesque, mostly driven by testimony from performers themselves. I opted not to go with a narrator, although, having just this moment come across this brilliant essay (https://t.co/h1HRnuyJht), I wish @PennyRed had written and delivered the narration.

Oh, and I made a movie: https://t.co/dvMhZS41fd

So I'm rarely posting here, although I will try to do better. But where I have been posting more is over at the Twitter feed for my podcast, Tatter. Check it out @tatter_rags

I was delighted to interview @smotus about the midterm elections, @GovHowardDean and his 50 state strategy, women in politics, gun control, Black Panther, and more. Check it out. https://t.co/ayD3lPDKCY

New episode of my podcast went live this morning: https://t.co/ayD3lPDKCY

I'm excited to see Coogler's film this weekend, but I also very much appreciate this essay: https://t.co/sLtYe6KtKP

One of my favorite performances I had a chance to record while making the documentary Witchcraft Blue (@witchcraft_blue), by the amazing Creme de la Femme de la Phlegm: https://t.co/z72HhxO7Ks

Dear @MerriamWebster, is it time to dust off "kakistocracy" again? https://t.co/JhlV0x2dy1 Since the "election" of @realDonaldTrump, I have thought of that word often.

[Michael Sargent @profsargent]

Either the President doesn't know that common nouns aren't capitalized, or there is a band named No Collusion out there that I've never heard of, and his frequent reference to them suggests he is a big fan. #nocollusion #ibettheyplaycountry https://t.co/DSoEApdpgV

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Great jobs numbers and finally, after many years, rising wages- and nobody even talks about them. Only Russia, Russia, Russia, despite the fact that, after a year of looking, there is No Collusion!

@imontheradio Although today is Festivus, and airing grievances and feats of strength are less fun alone. #justsayin #fortherestofus

[Michael Sargent @profsargent]

@imontheradio If I can get this damned grading done, I look forward to joining you in blissful aloneness (but it also would have been great to see the family).

[Michael Sargent @profsargent]

@willbradley @jramjee Or in other words...duh.
