Another way of framing: state &federal government have relatively withdrawn from footing most of bill for higher ed such that even as absolute spending has gone up, the proportion of costs covered by gov/public has decreased. Universities adapted by a combination of strategies, one is intl students.

the students from abroad typically pay more in tuition and so subsidize working class US students. This policy is an attack on upward mobility

Does anyone know if literally anyone in the entire history of the whole world has ever purposely purchased an individual article from a scientific journal? Or, uh, rented one for 24 hours for $25? Asking for, I think, nobody.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

🚨New preprint🚨: Attitude measures like the IAT reveal biased behavior — but the levels across which bias operates are varied. Our new preprint borrows formal modeling approaches from perceptual science to find out where age-valence interactions happen in perceptual processing🧵

Congratulations to the “Project Implicit,” which received🏆2026 SIPS Mission Award! Project Implicit offers online tests to millions of participants, uses those tests to document implicit and explicit biases, and shares massive open datasets to power discoveries in psychology and beyond.

Project Implicit runs on small donations, most under $5. That’s what keeps the tests online, the data public, and the science accessible to anyone around the world who is interested in learning about…

Are the mental contents underlying implicit evaluations accessible to conscious introspection? Prior studies show high predictive accuracy, leading to a growing consensus that people can introspectively access their implicit biases. New paper out in JPSP! 🧵🧵🧵

The tide is turning against a major idea in social psychology: that implicit evaluations reflect mental content that lies beyond conscious awareness. This view is being reconsidered in light of mounting evidence that people can predict their own implicit evaluations with high accuracy. However, there are reasons to question whether such predictive accuracy reflects introspective access. First, prior studies have relied almost exclusively on familiar targets (e.g., racial groups), allowing predictions to be informed by background knowledge (e.g., knowing that a group is stigmatized) rather than introspection. Second, implicit and explicit evaluations have been highly correlated in prior work, enabling accurate predictions simply by assuming that implicit evaluations mirror explicit ones. Here, we report eight experiments (five pre-registered; N = 6,794) designed to minimize these nonintrospective routes to predictive accuracy. We introduced participants to novel targets and shifted implicit and explicit evaluations of these targets in opposite directions, rendering explicit evaluations an unreliable cue. Under these conditions, predictive accuracy ranged from low to nonexistent; participants frequently anticipated shifts in their implicit evaluations in the opposite direction of the actual change. These results generalized across two learning paradigms (impression formation and attribute conditioning), two implicit evaluation measures (Implicit Association Test and evaluative priming task), and between-participant and within-participant designs. We consider multiple interpretations of these findings, including the possibility that implicit evaluations reflect mental content that is largely or even entirely inaccessible to conscious awareness.

I had an amazing poster of Lalas on my bedroom wall in 1994. He was my soccer idol as I was also an underskilled defender who was good in the air and always hustled. It’s sad when our heros become the opposite of what we thought they were…

I am actually not sure how to communicate how weird it is that Lalas is on this panel. Henry and Ibrahimovic are two of the best forwards of the past 20 years; Lalas peaked at Padova, a club that hasn’t been in Serie A since the Clinton administration www.theguardian.com/football/202...

How does amount of counterattitudinal information influence whether and how much attitudes change? Rydell et al. (2007) found that implicit evaluations changed slowly and incrementally, whereas explicit evaluations changed abruptly in response to counterattitudinal info.

Running an experiment to study racial discrimination? Going to use names to signal race? Here's a new tool! This helps you to choose the names you want to use based on: 1.) the strength of the racial signal you want to send 2.) whether you want to hold other factors (e.g., class) constant

www.espn.com/nba/story/_/... I remember Obama skipping major sports events to not cause disruption. Trump (who said high ticket prices don’t matter because you can watch it on tv) will, instead, cause this free watching event to be cancelled. What a tiny human.

With Trump attending Game 3, watch party canceled, NYPD says

As part of enhanced security measures with President Donald Trump attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs on Monday night, there will be no watch party outside Madison Square Garden, the New York Police Department said on Sunday.
