Relatively cranky autism researcher. Weirdly lurking. Does not charge cell phone. Likes to make jokes. Not funniest ever but close enough.
Has Kevin McCarthy tried turning the House off and then turning it back on again?
I'm looking for a good & brief overview of epistemology in social sciences, if anyone has recommendations! #academicchatter #psychology #research
Please boost this to other mastodon.world users. We get several reports a day alleging a rule violation (e.g. no racism) but no actual post is included in the report. We do not have the resources to scroll through a user’s post history to try and locate the post that resulted in the report and so we close the report with no action. Please do report rule violations but ensure you link the offending post. Thanks. @ruud

Apparently the prior holder of my office phone number gave it out anytime they thought they would be spammed.

JFC who gave the Warnock campaign my email address??
Now that I think about it they're more right than wrong. Our last dog was also a vacuum.
My kids are so hard up for a pet that they named our new robot vacuum Debra. Now they run around after it saying "Come on Debra! Come 'ere girl!"
