One of the big findings in my research is that people invested in disbelieving victims are not swayed by evidence.
Just like other issues of misinformation, they cherry pick irrelevant details to allow them to continue to believe whatever they want.

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Academic Sundays are for finally getting that multi-author paper that's been dragging on for months submitted. Tip from me: never label a draft 'final'. Just keep renumbering. AFTER it's been submitted, add 'SUBMITTED [date]' to the file name. #academicsky #phdchat
