I am delighted to share our new #PNAS paper, with @grvkamath.bsky.social @msonderegger.bsky.social and @sivareddyg.bsky.social, on whether age matters for the adoption of new meanings. That is, as words change meaning, does the rate of adoption vary across generations? www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

HR Simulator™: a game where you gaslight, deflect, and “let’s circle back” your way to victory.
Every email a boss fight, every “per my last message” a critical hit… or maybe you just overplayed your hand 🫠
