In clinical psych, Ph.D. > Psy.D. programs are more difficult to get into, class size tinier. Run on an apprenticeship model. In my class at IU There were 5 of 400 applications were admitted. Today it’s more competitive. Successfully applicants have professional publications or presentations.
The disrespect for teachers is LOUD‼️

Book Review: Suite Francaise by Irene Nevirosky #Booksky. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ or 💔💔💔💔💔. Completely relevant as I write this from an occupied country. Two novellas: Storm in June and Dolce describe the chaotic Nazi invasion inspired mass exodus from Paris and the Nazi occupation of a French village. The stories

Have we ever had such a low IQ leader? We know he’s thinking about invading Venezuela for the distraction. But also for the oil. Yesterday’s energy.

Well, this is getting tedious. 🏈 Report. With the exception of Brockport, all my teams won by acceptable but not stunning margins. This includes the disliked Penn State and Ohio State. If no one is going to beat Ohio State, looks like it’s gonna had to be Indiana

My buddy Watson came to visit with his Mom yesterday. He snuck upstairs to play with my stuffed animals. The @warmiesofficial.bsky.social people should know he preferred theirs. He goobered all over Pritzker who is a little traumatized. Later he was sick. Maybe the lavender?

Book Review: Money by Martin Amis #booksky I scooped up some of the Amis ouevre, when he passed two years ago. I think I am not his target audience. He has a distinctly male voice, that I can’t relate to. Kind of reminds me of Phillip Roth or Saul Bellow. Googled Amis and Roth and found a scholar
