@Namecheap One of your ASNs (22612) is listed on a UCEPROTECT-Level3 blacklist for spam. I'm sure this is affecting a lot of your customers' ability to send emails (including mine)! Any plans to address this? cc: @NamecheapCEO Screenshot via: uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.p…

This is why we need @RegReports! They aim to: • address weaknesses with standard preregistration • guard against Questionable Research Practices • mitigate publication bias • improve research quality Here's a 25min intro by @EmmaHendersonRR: piped.video/watch?v=cEu7oGWn…
“Nearly 100% of published studies… confirm the initial hypothesis. This is an amazing accomplishment given the complexity of the human mind and human behaviour. Somehow, as psychological scientists, we always find the expected result; we always win!” royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
