Folks at MIT Sloan looked at multiple studies of return to office (RTO) mandates & found they are lose-lose-lose. No reward from Wall Street for “getting tough,” an actual decrease in productivity & revenue, and loss of top talent. youtu.be/4ec_yZCWOCY...

The Psychology Department at Sacred Heart University invites applications for a full-time, 12-month, non-tenure track Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor position specializing in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The faculty member will be responsible for teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and other psychology courses, as well as managing and leading all aspects of the Master of Science in I/O Psychology program.
once again that time of year when universities roll out some of their worst faculty positions, like non-tenure track gigs where the candidate just runs an entire graduate program
At one point in the interview, Zuckerberg spoke about the time he spends with his children. When he got to his oldest, a nine-year-old daughter, he explained how they discuss the news together — hopefully from a reputable publication, not the false information that looks like news proliferating on Facebook. While it’s nice that he tries to engage with the interests of his kids, he also made a striking comment that illustrated the depth of his ignorance. “It hadn't occurred to me before how much in order to understand technology, you need to really understand government and civics and politics and law and like all of these different things,” said the man who has been running one of the most influential technology companies in the world for more than two decades. Somehow, it had taken explaining current events to his child to realize this quite obvious fact — but it doesn’t seem to have given him much humility.
During a recent interview with Theo Von, Zuckerberg admitted a startling revelation. While talking to his daughter about the news, he realized understanding politics and law is important to fully understanding technology. What a discovery!

Good news, meine #IOPsych freunde! They can't terminate your NSF grants if you don't have any!
Our field's inability to attract significant grant funding finally pays off.

Costco has 7% annual staff turnover (93% retention), an incredibly loyal and respected customer base, solid quality, and refuses to change its food court pricing much beyond what it was 3 decades ago. It’s the third largest retailer in the country. Capitalism doesn’t have to be cruel.
I wear anti-fascism, union, anti-racism, etc attire to work. I make my stance at work known in small ways like when asked if I did the 5 Things emails I said “I don’t take orders from fascists.” When the Trumpers need accommodations I remind them that’s why we need DEI.
"Adams said he wasn’t going to delve into the treatments he had undergone, but mentioned that he did try using anti-parasitic medications including ivermectin and fenbendazole, to no effect."

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:
It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that
The average price of a first-run movie ticket in the US right now is $16.08. If the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation, 40 minutes of labor would buy you a movie ticket. Better than how things are now: $7.25/hour means 2+ hours of labor gets you a movie ticket
Adding work requirements to Medicaid while undermining unions is the Republicans’ way of providing cheap, exploitable labor to the corporations donating to their campaigns.
The Worker Protection Act received unanimous support from Colorado's Democratic legislators and was backed by the state's labor movement. On Friday, Gov. Jared Polis vetoed it. My latest with @prospect.org:

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...
I’d like work requirements for Congress…
The fact that a major large language model (1) can easily be turned into gibberish white nationalist propaganda by its biased owner or (2) is just hallucinating and we don't even know which one makes me think this technology is not revolutionary. Just amusing until the bubble bursts.
