The headline says it all. They are more than willing to send money to bail out authoritarian leaders in other countries, but must be dragged kicking and screaming to feed kids at home. It’s just gross. #thecrueltyisthepoint #SNAP. apple.news/ASOJuVFWaRYe...

Correction: the little blob or black has been incorrectly identified as a pocket square and pocket lining. Fact check: sources confirm this is the black sludge at the core of his soul attempting an escape.

Quick question for the political scientists out there:

What’s your favorite example of a piece of political science literature being terribly misconstrued in subsequent work?

I’m looking for some examples for my research design course. Thanks in advance! #PoliSky #Academia #litreviews

@timmiller.bsky.social I loved the debut of True Crime Tim™ on the Next Level today. Now do the Trump Models saga. I guess I hadn’t realized how recently that was still happening. It puts the Diddy pardon talk in a whole new light. It’s all so gross and SO shady.

Well, I guess that’s the end of what I was working on… 😑🫥

@muellershewrote.bsky.social Apropos of nothing, I just had a feeling you might be interested in this little nugget that has nothing to do with anything at all… 🤭 #isthistheresistance #spamsaveslives apple.news/A8cvOqZR6Som...

It was so jarring to see all of the Dems at the #inaguration, etc. acting like this is all business as usual. But, as usual, #KBJ is a ray of sanity amidst the fecklessness. And if you haven’t read her book yet, do it. apple.news/Abl6WwFKoTtC...

Is textualism/neo-originalism making #SCOTUS arguments & opinions sound like overhearing a bunch of annoying, pseudo-intellectual college dudes talk about this cool author they just discovered (who, regrettably, is Ayn Rand)? @adamfeldman.net, is this our next paper? #lawsky #polisky

This seems really ominous. Sadly, I’m up to my eyeballs in cortisol at the moment so I don’t know that I can trust my oh-💩-o-meter. But Johnson saying this edict didn’t come from Trump makes me wonder if that guy’s God is fine with all of this bearing false witness and stuff… 🤔 #wwMAGAjd

This is me writing “Welcome to life, you fvcker!” in the “Motto for 2025” section of my #bujo. Thanks, @jvl.bsky.social

🙋🏼‍♀️ Anyone out there have advice about how to support a newly-diagnosed #POTS teenager? #dysautonomia #chronicillness 🚰🧂

Maybe a chamber that echoes reason, civility, and empathy can eventually drown out the chaos clown cacophony coming from the billionaire-coddling hellsite? They are both echo chambers, in a way; it’s just that one isn’t a toxic bath of unpasteurized hatred. Seems like an easy choice. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #Polisky

So I’m working on my #SPSA2024 paper and happened back upon a classic Caldeira (1986) article. This prompts me to remind #SCOTUS of his finding that standing up to Nixon during Watergate led to a major (temporary) gain in public support. Are you listening, Roberts? @judicialwomen.bsky.social

The NHL has a horrible take on this issue. Custom helmets are fine, just not to celebrate Native American Heritage month?! Kudos to Mark-Andre Fleury for his refusal to be bullied and for standing up for what matters. We miss you here in Vegas, Flower! 🌸 🥅 # www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

So it looks like the trial court judge has just ruled that (1) Trump WAS engaged in insurrection/support for insurrection, and (2) but presidents are not “officers” under §3 of the 14th Amendment. I’m a bit surprised, since this seemed like the weakest sauce arguments out of the condiments drawer…

Honest Q for #PoliSky folks: if things go as poorly for Trump in the NY AF’s case as it looks like it will, how does that change the likelihood that he absconds to Russia to avoid incarceration in the various criminal cases? @podsaveamerica.bsky.social @politico.com

On this news from @thenvindy.bsky.social:
The research has long been clear that early school start times are terrible for teens. Let’s just see if CCSD can implement this ASAP. I remember almost nothing from high school because I was exhausted all the time. 🤞🏻

Is this where I go to find out what’s wrong with Mendeley right now?
