In the late aughties and 2010s there was a mania for counter-intuitive, pop psych explanations for things. Demand far outstripped supply. But Ariel, Kahneman, the Freakonomics guys, etc. had an ace up their sleeves.

Just make shit up.

It’s ridiculous that Dan Ariely still has a professorship. Altogether too many academic frauds whose universities give them gentle landings and protect them from consequences.

Why isn’t his fraud even mentioned in the lede to his Wikipedia page?

@TravLeBlanc @gguworld Cobain told journos his first show was Black Flag which was huge pivotal moment for him but his entire high school remembers it being Sammy Hagar because he wore the tour t-shirt for a month straight.

@Korteacres Some are poblanos, some are Carolina reapers.

Time to play

@gregjarch Not in the nineties but it comes up on album lists here and there and was something I sat with for a while once I discovered it.

@NoRiskNoParty Is the metal louder in the rain or does the tile-like facade absorb the impact enough?

@valdombre "It's divisive" is, in her mind, a total trump card, a rhetorical slam dunk that ends the debate.

And, unfortunately, she is to a large extent correct.

@steff147 They get the chicks and ducklings in on Thursdays, so Thursday and the following few days are the best time to go. Fun store, I used to go frequently.

@Walaalski @ciisesomalien Didn't know about Djibouti. Makes sense I suppose given the region but it surprises me somehow.

@zectrillionaire I really hope this isn't true, and if it is, I really hope you find a way to patch things up with your parents. They won't be around forever, love them despite everything and enjoy your time together.

@pippopotamus Bread and circuses for middle managers is even more important than for the hoi polloi, and they swallow it much more eagerly because they think it's different.

@fuccboihermit2 Did blacks invent being a limp-dicked creep? Is that really something they're protective of?

@BasilianThought One of the silliest myths you see (or saw, at least) was the idea that Trump values loyalty. Not even close. He values utility at any given moment. If you want something from Trump, be useful to him _now_ and he will throw the most loyal deputy under the bus for you.

@goblinodds There's really only one thing out there. The food plant. Everything - whether it's an apple or a ribeye - all comes from different varieties of Food.

@wohskraps After curing for a while I'd eventually rotate the birds into a paddock with the pile to dig around in. They loved it and it's a great kinda cycle that way. Nothing wasted

@myersfarm_ I understand it's frozen from previous years, but still having more colostrum available than milk is crazy. Like not having a doorstop handy so making do with a brick of gold.

@TristinHopper Canada is officially bilingual, "surveillance" is French for "surveillance".

@BasilianThought I don't know about Monaco or Macau or even Vegas these days, but when I think "casino" I think fat boomers in stained sweatpants waddling between slot machines.

@ScottMGreer Earnest but bipolar sometimes.

Geriatric millennials got the Gen X cynicism. Core millennials are definitely defined by their earnestness, though they've had wild swings in their worldviews over time and it can be difficult to believe that the issue du jour is nonetheless, at that moment, truly earnestly held.

There's common perception that millennials were irony-poisoned, but the generation was actually extremely earnest. Emo and indie rock were their favorite genres. They thought Obama and Kony 2012 would change the world. Zoomers are far more cynical about the world than millennials were at their age.
