Emerson drops an ass-covering natl poll showing Trump going from -3 job approval to -8. If these same red wave pollsters who showed Ciattarelli close start correcting their natl sample the false impression they've created of Trump being "OK" will evaporate.

After the 2024 EU election, many in Brussels insisted the political center had held.

That wishful thinking is fading fast, with two working majorities now openly acknowledged in the European Parliament’s corridors.

Há 5 anos um grupo de figuras do que era então o centro-direita moderado publicava um abaixo-assinado contra a deriva nacionalista e identitária. Alguns deles são hoje ministros da República. Como podem conviver, em silêncio, com estas declarações… eu não percebo.

It’s disheartening to see so many academics embracing - and doing research that feeds into - contemporary pronatalism.

We don’t need to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Three future PAA presidents (Taeuber, Taeuber, Whelpton) and one ASA president (Hankins) wrote positive pieces in American Journal of Sociology in the 1930s about Hitler's pronatalist policies.

Lá como cá, a utilização de meios de comunicação, que imitam jornais online, para difundir notícias falsas.
Vox gasta un millón al año en 'La Gaceta de la Iberosfera', la web de la fundación Disenso que alimenta con bulos el discurso contra los inmigrantes. Es una de las causas del agujero económico que ha llevado a la fundación a pérdidas por vez primera
La fundación de Abascal entra por primera vez en pérdidas pese a recibir casi 11 millones de Vox en cinco años

No Dia Internacional para a Erradicação da Pobreza, onde estão as vozes das pessoas que vivem na pobreza?

Onde estão as vozes da pobreza?
Vivemos em espaços segregados e relacionamo-nos em grupos ainda mais segregados. A consequência destes silos é que temos pouca consciência acerca de como vivem as outras pessoas.

Should statistical software that estimates causal effects also tell you the causal assumptions under which that estimate can be interpreted as causal?

I don't know but my PhD student Maurice Korf has some thoughts (and software) to get the conversation going:

Causal clarity in statistical software
Imagine running a simple regression in any statistical software of choice—but this time, you only get a point estimate of the regression coefficient. There

Europe needs to prepare to defend itself with less America. One challenge, is how to replace the potential loss of US ground forces. Poland, Germany, etc are doing their bit. But Europe needs a bolder approach. We call for Italy-Spain to lead a new European ground force
