The three "waves" of psychotherapy are often described as historical fact, which is astonishing when you consider that they represent the distorted and sometimes straight up incorrect view of a single individual (Hayes).

This is a great paper on scale norming that also presents a really nice discussion of how people come up with their responses to surveys, and how that can change over time. One read of it has me wanting to put it into my assessment syllabus already.

Much of SF lost power last night. Waymos blocked intersections across the city, even though they are Wayless than 1% of cars on the roads. They accumulated at their failure points--intersections with no green lights, in busy areas, and shut down traffic there.
