reading documents from beginning to end and asking the people who wrote them about specific things in them is like 70% of my research methodolgy.
Dumb journalists think being a tough interviewer requires writing down gotcha questions in advance.
Smart journalists know that the trick is just listening and sometimes going, ‘how so?’
Chotiner is a legitimately good journalist but it’s wild that people think he’s some sort of evil wizard because he says “what do you mean by that”

"The BBC has a bigger video reach than youtube" is both clearly obvious and quite a feat: though I wonder if the methodolgy includes BBC content consumed through youtube/Netflix

The Disability Pay Gap Reporting is particularly annoying because it completely misses the point about what Disability Campaigners are complaing about, as the whole methodolgy will miss disabled people working fewer hours to protect their health and so being poorer as a result

Some clever scholar should figure out a methodolgy for an ongoing Trump death toll. Post a ticker. Fot instance by stoppng PEPFAR, the global AIDS abatement program, which has saved an estimated 25 million lives and counting, but now reportedly has to furlough employees. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you get consistent wonderful games where you don't roll dice (or etc.), you should work out and write down how someone ELSE can do it, dressed lightly as procedural pieces ("a methodolgy for play"), and put it up.

Not a joke - we're in an era where people WANT that, so if you've got it, go.

The word methodolgy when they really mean methods. The word fuctionality.
What is an extremely nerdy/obscure/specific thing you hate with a white-hot wrath?

We're now at a point where MSPs are lodging complete and utter bollocks at Holyrood as part of the wider campaign against trans people. The report this MSP wants to welcome is complete pish, rooted in the so-called "LGB Alliance" *asking their own supporters* views. It represents nobody but them.

I had a breakthrough in teaching researchers why they need to write SOPs

You're not doing it because of a regulatory requirement.

You're not doing it to make me happy.

You're doing it because it is an basic lab report writing skill. Purpose, Apparatus, and Methodolgy...remember all that?

Right. Aka moral cowardice. The “Trump methodolgy” is fascism.

why are we upset at there actually being a real world application to the methodolgy of "teaching to the test". A big win to the Gove educational reforms.

Polls are not mostly bullshit in developing comparative statements about candidates.

If Harris polled about even and lost, and Biden, using the same polling methodolgy, polled as being absolutely destroyed, it is not likely that actually, he would have done amazing.

"Pay attention to how they make you feel" also works in real life.

The little hairs on the back of your neck will always beat any rules based methodolgy.

Thanks for the reminder! I've been meaning to fix the methodolgy and re-run the experiments.

Is Pan a demon though? Never thought he was when I studied Greek methodolgy at school
