Few things feel as good as righteous indignation, moral condemnation, and schadenfreude as an opponent gets her well deserved comeuppance. And, this story certainly feels that way to me. It is an I told you so confirmation that does the battered egos of progressives and liberals in Fascist […]
The trends that I’ve been seeing have me even more alarmed than I ever have been before. As a whole, as a country, as an electorate, we have gone from being the United Fucking States of Fucking Stupid to being the United Fucking States of Even Fucking Stupider. […]
Alek Minassian claimed to be inspired by Elliot Rodgers and part of the Incel Rebellion. Incels apparently think they can force women to have sex with them if they can terrorize them enough? Find out how it all works in this psysplainer!
With so many proposals for arming teachers and suggestions that good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns and then actual mass shootings where unarmed good guys stop the armed bad guys and violent arrests of young women because of plastic cutlery, you gotta wonder, would I shoot an unarmed black man if I had the chance? This implicit bias game helps you figure it all out.
Why why why can’t we do anything about gun violence? Minority influence, dopamine, and traffic safety may hold the answers!
This story makes it clear that as sexual arousal increases, empathy decreases making sexual assault all the more likely as situations are more ambiguous or when someone changes her mind. It is a cautionary tale for men. A call to examine for each man to examine his past and present to help ensure that #TimesUp means that time is really up.
I love it that the biggest audience of a beauty pageant are men who already have a low level of empathy towards women.
It’s an open secret that the modern Repube party is the home of angry white identity politics, but no where is that clearer than in this quote from an angry white guy explaining why he’ll continue to roll coal.
We are truly the United Fucking States of Fucking Stupid and deserve every misery the Repubes can inflict on us if 46% believe the news is fake.
A guy goes out of his way to take an upskirt photo of a celeb, and it is a wardrobe malfunction and we don’t learn his name! He’s committed sexual assault with his fucking camera, he keeps his anonymity and his job and his future. Rape Culture right there.
Recently, Stanford psychologist, Robert Sutton, published “The Asshole Survival Guide,” his recommendations on how to deal with the assholes in your life based on his study of assholes. He was interviewed over at Vox. Such fun!
Don’t get fatigued! Continue calling Senators about healthcare and continue donating relieve and recover from all the natural disasters we’ve had this summer and fall. Vox tells us how… again!
#Resist the Ol’ Pussy Grabber, help the people of the Texas coastal plains, and express your disgust with our current “leadership” by donating to one of these fine organizations that will actually help people in need.
A very effective infographic celebrating the latest sycophant to depart the WH!
It has been an exciting and intense couple of weeks what with nuclear war with NK hanging in the balance and Mueller stepping in on Manafort, but that don’t mean we can’t laugh at the OPG when predicted disasters come home to roost!
Psychic numbing describes the apathy people feel when confronted by millions of people suffering. The singularity effect explains why people will donate because one person is suffering. Strange but true. We can use this to our advantage if we understand it.
He’s reading tweet-length memos to prepare for meeting Putin when he reads at all! They have no agenda for the meeting. Holy mother of great negotiators, we are going to be taken out behind the woodshed and schooled. Worse than the SALT II talks between Gorbachev and Reagan.
We here at the Psy really like rape. Er, I mean, we’re interested in rape, which is to say that rape is very much on our minds… Ugh! I mean that after having worked for a rape crisis center and sexually transmitted disease clinic and as an HIV […]
With the death of Roger Ailes, we are focused on the contributions of news to political polarization. Now we have liberal fake news to contend with. Here we examine the role of perception in our polarized politics.
There is no question in my mind that the Ol’ Pussy Grabber is an ineffective malignant narcissistic personality disorder. Ineffective because of his incredibly weak executive functioning skills. They are amazingly weak. He barely has any control at all over his impulses and emotions. Malignant because of his […]
