Abstract:
Today we're releasing AI for RStudio. It's really, really good—I'd encourage you to point it at the messiest data sources you have and see what it can do.

In an interesting #SPSP2026 talk, @asmiley.bsky.social presented work suggesting that the proportion of out-partisans at one’s church had a curvilinear association with affective polarization—politically balanced churches showed the lowest rates of affective polarization.
#SPSP2026 was awesome! Great to see friends new and old and get to spend a weekend talking about really cool research!

Another cool data blitz from #SPSP political psych precon. People asume there are two large coalitions in the U.S.: liberals & conservatives. But, work by @isaiasghezae.bsky.social suggests there are instead 3: (1) conservatives,
(2) ideological liberals, and (3) a liberal demographic group.
If you’re at #SPSP2026 come check out our symposium this afternoon!!

Introducing: The Continuity Heuristic.
New paper by Matt Fisher and I now out in Journal of Consumer Psychology.
In 24 original studies, we show that people use the length of time something has been to predict how much longer it will be, particularly when knowledge in a domain is lower.

I met Ed a few years ago when he lived at my grandparents’ senior living home in Rochester. He showed me his amazing art collection, with 100+ paintings of Monhegan Island, and answered my many questions about his career. A true legend, and a kind and generous soul.
