  • Oh yeah Sanctuary kills! another couple good things:

    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aij5PTNHdvY - what could be better than a couple drunk Texas sumotori watching the 1992 film "Sumo Do, Sumo Don't"? Not much. It takes them 5 minutes just to get the movie started tho lel. There's also a 2022 miniseries of the same name but you'll have to find someone with a Disney account for that.
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CISA3X2cJw - Hinomaru Sumo anime. sub is better imho but most of the dub is free at that link. It's missing the last episode of season 2 tho, you'll have to find it elsewhere if you get that far, I think it's on crunchyroll and amazon streaming.

    ooh I like how you did that. What's that called again?

  • I think III would be better titled "Post-Hoc Hypothesizing," i.e. where you create (or change) your experiment's hypothesis after the experiment - clearly that is wrong. "Post-hoc storytelling" sounds like what you do in the "implications" or "next steps" part of a paper. Also, exploratory studies have different standards, right? (I've never done an exploratory study.)

    In the graphic, I thought "Non-Publication" and "Partial Publication" referred to experiments, i.e. where you run 4 experiments and only report on the last one, which "worked" -- clearly that is wrong. However they are talking about data, which is a bit trickier. In some cases you can't just upload all your data onto github; it may take a while because some sponsor or corporate office needs to review it before it can be released. A researcher may refuse to release their data until they finish writing a set of papers based on it. There may also be distribution limitations, or licensing requirements related to the data. I'm not trying to defend withholding data, just that these are the problems that need to be addressed.

    Finally, to extend the metaphor, the "publish or perish" mentality is this image's Satan.

  • Trump supporters feel insecure about the world. By bullying someone, they feel better.

    That's why they never turn against Trump when the policies inevitably backfire. It just makes them feel more insecure, and therefore even better about bullying someone. And there are plenty of us to bully.

  • How many universities will abandon free speech rights for 10% of their budget?

    All of them. Of course they'll frame it like "to enable our storied institution to continue performing our vital work, we are temporarily putting a moratorium on non-pre-approved meetings. Thank you for your understanding."

  • Today many of you will learn a new word.

    A kynodesmē (Greek: κυνοδέσμη, English translation: "dog tie") was a cord or string[1] or sometimes a leather strip that was worn primarily by athletes in Ancient Greece and Etruria to prevent the exposure of the glans penis in public (considered to be ill-mannered) and to restrict untethered movement of the penis during sporting competition. It was tied tightly around the akroposthion, the most distal, tubular portion of the foreskin that extends beyond the glans. As depicted in Ancient Greek art the kynodesme was worn by some athletes, actors, poets, symposiasts and komasts. It was worn temporarily while in public and could be taken off and put back on at will. The remaining length of cord could either be attached to a waist band to pull the penis upward and expose the scrotum, or tied around the base of the penis and scrotum so that the penis appeared to curl upwards.

    In the context of the OP joke that would be a: jynodesmē.
