1/ Your @APA membership fees at work, ladies & gentlemen.

While APA was once committed to distributing scientific information, it has become a gatekeeper to withholding scientific information from the public.

Time to stop reviewing for APA journals.
2/ And I'm not making a legal case: of course they can sick lawyers on us. I'm making the case that a legitimate scientific organization should be happy if folks share work—it's free advertisement. Going after people who *share their own work online* proves this is just about $$$
3/ If you're an APA member, please ask yourself if you're happy how APA spends your membership fees.

@jayvanbavel started a petition about this a few months back, in case you are interested:

4/4 Here is some background about why asking authors to remove their own work from their own websites is a sign of an incredibly broken publication system.

1/6 When you see someone use the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator in a professional context, call them out. It does not meet basic criteria of psychometric scales, was "developed" in the 40s by people without any training, & is based on outdated psychoanalytic ideas.

Long version 👇
2/ MBTI categorizes people according to outdated archetypes based on ideas of Carl Jung that have not been taken seriously for many decades in psychology. These archetypes are as valid as zodiacs or tarot cards, and have hardly any external validity.

3/ MBTI lacks validity and reliability. "Scientific" work on MBTI is largely published in a journal that is funded by the people who make money with it.

1/ Why depression is not a useful or reasonable phenotype for research in clinical psychology, psychiatry, or medicine: a summary of evidence in 18 tweets.

Sx = symptoms, MDD = major depressive disorder.
2/ There are ~280 scales to assess MDD severity (tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.120…). Scales are often only weakly inter-correlated, and differ widely in symptom content. The 7 most commonly used rating scales encompass > 50 disparate Sx (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27792962).
3/ This means that MDD is a very ill-defined phenotype, with little agreement on how to measure it (imagine this amount of disagreement for e.g. cancer or HIV). The DSM-5 defines 9 Sx, but these were chosen based on subjective, not psychometric reasons (biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/13/72).

Ladies & Gentlemen, no Test Match to watch today evening (as per IST) and so we want to tell you a little story.
A story about this 89 year old man who celebrates his birthday today.
(Thread to follow).
It's Dec 1960. WI are in Australia to play a 5 match series. The 1st Test for visitors to Aus was hosted by The Gabba, of course. Both teams were captained by players who wanted to play positive cricket.
In an era of boring Tests, this resolve came like a breath of fresh air.
The teams are full of names that we remember even after so many years. WI have Worrell (C), Kanhai, Sobers, Wes Hall, Ramadhin & Valentine among others. Aus have Harvey, Bob Simpson, Davidson, Benaud (C).

Ladies & gentlemen ¡Se abre hilo! Ha menester oir esta tontería presidencial, antes que nada, les ruego: 1/9
Cuando el fraile Luca Pacioli descubrió la Contabilidad hace 500 años explicó en palabras llanas que lo que tenemos menos lo que debemos se llama Capital. Se adelantó a Newton y Einstein extrapolando a la física su abstracción (“constructo”, llaman hoy). La T de mayor. Sigo👉2/9
Nacemos con un único activo: la (o las) inteligencia. Estamos (en lopesco) en -0 de, a saber 1)Conocimientos y habilidades 2) Valores y virtudes y 3) Experiencia. La familia, el Estado, los individuos, las empresas, sindicatos y así invierten (o gastan) dinerales en C y H 3/9

Ladies & Gentlemen,

We are now bearing witness to something MOMENTOUS. DO NOT MISS THIS.

Jeffrey Epstein is BAIT!

Think about it ... all Trump's pieces are now in place - Deep State FAILED yesterday.

Jeffrey Epstein HAD the videos of every sodomy. Every Rape. Every Murder.
Epstein Is Bait

Let's ask ourselves: why would Jeffrey Epstein try to "kill himself [Hillary]," before the judge weighs in on his appeal?

Why put Jeffrey Epstein in the Densest Population Center in the Americas? Smack dab in the MIDDLE?

Missing Davy Crockets? Suitcase Nukes?
Who's Lady Gaga? Marina Abramović?

What was meant by "pool parties at the Vineyards?" [WL1608?]

"Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo"? The same year reference Hillary made mention to ... '165 years ago' & 'the unfinished business of the 21st century?" [WL1459]

[AS] death location?

Ladies & Gentlemen:

5G Is Here

Our morning walk this morning discovered cameras built into green fixtures - every 80'. These small (1' high) fixtures don't look like much. They have holes for cameras (8K!), microphones & speakers.

No taxes - no votes - just installed.

5G Is Here

These platforms cost ~$2.5K each (I know, I'm in the biz).

Who paid for it? Installed it? Subsidized it?

5G, you say?

5G - weaponized, targetable - deadly - ASSASSINS MACE.

Made where? Why now?

What is THE HAMMER? Not just US?

CHINA!
Ladies & Gentlemen

5G Is Here

This ties together the following technologies:

> 5G
> 8K Video (no need for electro-optical zoom)
> Global Presence
> China's "THE HAMMER" - in Shanghai, building 7

If you listened to last night's show - you will recognize what this is ...
