Should you attend #ICA25 in Denver? 🌍✈️ In a time of political uncertainty, many international scholars are grappling with this question. Read this month's President-Elect's column where Thomas Hanitzsch discusses this very question. buff.ly/VHYX9GQ

I desperately want an AI that submits travel reports for me so I can get reimbursed for my $12 breakfast without spending way more of my time than that $12 is worth to do it.
Is that what's being built or what I'm being offered? Of course not.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.
The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

It may seem strange to folks outside of academia, but there has been a line of prominent research within it arguing that misinformation isn't a problem. This paper pushes back, noting how those arguments often rely on poor definitions & operationalizations of what misinformation is & how it works.
In this new article in American Psychologist we respond to critics in detail and clarify two key points for the field;
(1) The prevalence of misinformation in society is substantial when properly defined.
(2) Misinformation causally impacts attitudes and behaviors.
