Toward the nature of automatic associations: item-level computational semantic similarity and IAT-based alcohol-valence associations
Automatic associations involving alcohol have been proposed to play a role in drinking behavior. Such associations are often assessed using implicit measures such as the Implicit Association Test (...

Adding a first post here, shamelessly linking to probably my favourite of my academic papers: Toward the nature of automatic associations: item-level computational semantic similarity and IAT-based alcohol-valence associations. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/HQSV7....

Whoo, finally finished Graeber's "Debt"! Great book, very eye-opening.
It wasn't exactly a *quick* read though, at least for me - could have a zillion reasons including my own inferiority, but I do wonder whether something like a short version might increase the impact of the ideas.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Got to the standard ending for Silksong - I've read about there being a whole other act I didn't have the prerequisites for :D But this was fine, kind of enough for me. Even though with hindsight the difficulty was tuned alright, it feels worse than it is (I cheesed the Bilewater boss though).

Movie of the weekend: One Battle After Another. It's one I think I have to digest more. Funny, weird, sort of timely but it's not I think really about the politics, except maybe right at the end it does seem to shift that way. It reminds me of how I felt about Burn After Reading.

Yes, so much is a worrying, enraging mess right now. But the bigger picture is a little more reassuring.

Film of the weekend: Spinal Tap II. Liked it! Similar to the new Naked Gun, just a fundamentally positive piece of work. I'm probably just too generally beaten down to properly laugh at stuff much anymore, but as with Naked Gun definitely had a few sensible chuckles, so score.

We can never give in to the forces that would divide us and send us backwards. The answer is the Labour winning over a broad coalition for our future.

Just tried it and very much a success :O (Also in terms of it staying under the very low bar of realistic effort I'm currently going to put into cooking.)
