I was not familiar with the name of the Polish prime minister and I thought it was satire! #DonaldTusk

While my feed is full of outraged and embarrassed Americans, I'd like to remind everyone that Trump got 77,284,118 votes, that's almost 50% of all presidential votes in 2024.

Research advice please.

We are currently getting many many fake participants for our research, replying to recruitment, even filling out consent forms, but then not showing up for interviews. Sometimes we can tell, but not always.

Advice on identifying these people?

It's the vibe and, ah – no that's it. It's the vibe. I rest my case

Vibes-based methods

Followed the book up with watching Just Mercy about Bryan Stevenson, Walter McMillian and the Equality Justice Initiative. So important, apparently 10% of death row people have been wrongly found guilty!!!

Lizzie @lizziemaughan.bsky.social · Jan 6

The Sun Does Shine by Ray Hinton, from the Oprah book club. This is an incredible story. From Wikipedia I see that Ray Hinton has in no way been compensated by the state. How anyone involved in putting or keeping him on death row lives with themselves I don’t know.

Cleverly told. A child’s experience and confused understanding followed by history and analysis. I found it slow at times, but valuable in what it shows: kids need to be given language and concepts to better understand their experiences of social injustice. Whiskey Tender, Deborah Jackson Taffa.
