Weekend plans!!! #PublishOrPerish
Two boxes are standing upright on a wooden table. The two boxes are meant to look like Academic papers. The left box is titled "The Publish or Perish Game." There is a large red stamped message in the middle that reads "Revise and Resubmit." The right box is titled "The Full Campus Meltdown Trilogy." There is a large red stamped message in the middle that reads "Decision Pending."

My latest Kickstarter-backed game has arrived. Yes, it's Publish or Perish, the fun boardgame of academic publishing! Plus expansions!

So, @davecl.bsky.social, @nick.gark.net, @neveahfs.bsky.social, @tonykeen58.bsky.social - when do we have a play?

www.kickstarter.com/projects/max...
Two boxed boardgames (the second an expansion set) and a supplement in an envelope, all white with black text and a red rubber stamp with the game / expansion name. Left to right they are 'Revise & Resubmit', 'Decision Pending' and 'Desk Reject'.

Asian people and Black people can both face dehumanization in the US, but the type differs: Asian = machine, Black = animal

#prejudice #socpsych #polpsych #psyscisky
Abstract that reads How different racial minorities experience racism differently remains underexplored in existing research. Here, we show that Asian and Black people are often dehumanized differently. Twelve studies spotlight a racial asymmetry in dehumanization using a wide array of methods (experimental, archival, and computational) and data sources (online samples, word embeddings, and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data): Whereas Black people are more often subjected to animalistic dehumanization, Asian people are predominantly subjected to mechanistic dehumanization. We demonstrate this asymmetry from the vantage point of victims (Studies 1a and 1b) and perpetrators (Studies 2a–2d). We further document the prevalence of this asymmetry across diverse domains, from everyday language (Study 3) to perceptions in the realms of romantic relationships (Study 4a), crime rates (Study 4b), and business skills (Study 4c). Finally, we demonstrate the asymmetry’s real-world consequences in labor market segregation (Studies 5 and 6). Our findings shed light on the distinct experiences of racism encountered by different racial groups and, more critically, introduce a framework that unifies and integrates scattered empirical observations on perceptions of Asian people.

We (Svenja Frenzel, claudiaaraya.bsky.social) were able to test the Publish or Perish Game by maxhuibai.bsky.social. It is highly entertaining, and we give it 10 out of 10 points. We were especially impressed with the love for detail on the cards. I will definitely buy it when it is out.

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it
