Every academic in their 40s goes through this career/life stage where they decide that the journals are broken and stupid. It's mostly because they are bored of working on R+Rs given that the marginal benefit for their own career of another publication is close to zero.
"Academic publishing as it currently exists is dead."

This is probably overstated, but if you're an early-career academic, it's worth taking seriously that tenured Stanford professors who've been working with AI more than most are saying things like this out loud now.

Sorry: Using the 25th amendment to remove Trump (or any president who doesn't want to be removed) just won't work; it's not designed for it, and will just end in chaos. Impeachment/removal remains the way to dump a president. All about the 25th goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/no-dont-in...
No, Not the 25th Amendment.
It wouldn't work. The Constitutional remedy that works is impeachment and removal.

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 7k) gives me some methodological concerns. They allowed people to rate their pun making as "outstanding" but, statistically, most are sitting indoors at the time

We analyze how the long backlash to civil rights converges with the movement against environmental and climate justice.
🚨New article in @sociusjournal.bsky.social.

Annabel Ipsen & I study how the executive orders in Trump's first 100 days use the logic of reactionary colorblindness to dismantle environmental and climate protections.

Most White evangelicals (69%) approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president. However, their views of Trump are less positive than in the early days of his second term.

Find more on these views here:
White evangelicals remain among Trump’s strongest supporters, but they're less supportive than a year ago
There has been an 8-percentage point drop since early 2025 in the share of White evangelicals who support all or most of Trump’s plans and policies.

Are Americans polarized in their attitudes toward higher education? 🤔

Using some @electionstudies.bsky.social data, the answer seems to be: Yes, but not dramatically so, and there's a tendency for more experience with higher ed. to be associated w/ more positive ratings. 👍
