Applied Behavioral Economics of Blog Demand: “Something Interesting” is Taking a Break. Here’s How to Bring it Back.
Tom Critchfield's excellent blog series is taking a break, and it seems like it's mainly due to a lack of reader interaction. I recommend you take a look at his entries here. For the record, beyond his excellent blog posts, he co-authored one of my all time favorite articles (scalloping in Congress) and has an impressive publication history

Accidentally behavior analysis

A mainstream news article that relates to behavior analysis

C.I.A. Violently Cut Off 9/11 Suspect When He Tried to Talk About Attacks, NYT
(Some graphic descriptions of torture in this link)

Dr. Mitchell has described the rolled-up towel as both “a safety collar” and a tool to condition prisoners. After the brutality ended, he said, an interrogator could bring just a towel to a debriefing session to remind a prisoner of “the hard times,” code in the black sites for brutal interrogations.

If the CIA believes that torture will evoke only “honest” verbal behavior (a say-do correspondence), then we ought to replace their offices with animal trainers. I hear Neuralink has a few.
