There is the OnlyPosts feed which only shows posts and not reposts. This is my default, only because it makes bluesky more manageable.

Generally, research does find that, on average, people are not in a great mood when they do effortful conscious thought. But it’s definitely fun for me! I think I have learned a bunch of cognitive tools for doing so effectively, thanks to school/uni/extensive reading etc.

Speaking as a cognitive psychologist here, one theory on judgement/decisions is De Neys’ Logical Intuition model, which argues that there’s two intuitive systems that work in parallel - a heuristic system and a logical system - only when they conflict do we typically start thinking consciously.

I usually do get to see those comments as a reviewer (in music psychology) and agree it is important to see - I notice that the editor for one journal appears to manually compile that for reviewers (thanks to them!), so it may not be a feature of some of the programs they use as backends?

How odd - I’ve not seen that before. I have seen people putting in, say, Elsevier as the author but not that…

Citations managers are very ‘garbage in, garbage out’ - if you don’t put in the info it won’t spit it out. So the citation managers won’t miss author names but the people inputting it will. The classic GenAI thing is Frankenstein references made out of 3-4 actual references rather than missing info?

This is also a problem for me for exactly the same reasons, and I needed to get a USB hub. It is also surprisingly hard to find new laptops with appropriately large internal hard drives these days, due to the move to SSD.

Sung from Mr Freeze’s perspective: Wouldn’t It Be Ice?

Was about to say at least we didn’t get the Mike Love-written equivalent to ‘The Universal Coward’ but ‘Student Demonstration Time’ does exist…

As you imply, the 70s really splits rock into subgenres - and so it’s where the various rock canons based around those subgenres diverge. Hopefully grumpy King Crimson fans don’t overshadow all the people who start listening because you’re finally up to Marley or Roxy Music or Carole King or…

Congrats Joshua!

I do notice his analysis is missing ‘do an incredible performance on Colbert as good as the late night show performances by Future Islands and Janelle Monae that put those acts on the map’…

Thank you, this is surprisingly nice! I have a 1966 record by the Baroque Inevitable that this reminds me of, except that this has vocals instead of oboes and what have you doing the melodies.
