The book I've been talking about for 2 years has a pub date! And a discount code!! And a link to request an exam copy!!
_Empirical Research and Writing_ uses primarily political science examples, but is easily used across a wide range of other positivist social science disciplines.

Our whole political order depends on our ability to complain, to criticize, to speak truth to power, and to question authority.
Never forget how the free speech brigade, once in control of our peak institutions, immediately suppressed any criticism of the most powerful people in the world.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

This is what we mean when we say there is no policy-making process, and that it's way dangerous.
In normal administrations, the White House Chief of Staff would try to do something about this.

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy.
Putin totally played the US, knowing full well he was up against incompetents and idiots.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

“There are just so many things that have happened in the last six months in this presidential administration that to think that we know what the issues will be in 2028 and who the players will be—I think it's just asking too much,” says @sgadarian.bsky.social.

Honestly what I hate about this is that it poses everything as an obvious choice. This isn't analysis, it is rank punditry.
There are no obvious choices in politics. It isn't like we can just flip a dial to "popular politics" and win everything. I'm sorry. Just stop.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

The use of terror is not a byproduct of Trumpian politics: it is central to how he governs.
(Politico) - An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Amazing how many of my toddler inspired parenting still works as my kids get older. Kids used to get a limited amount of time to put on their whiny pants and then they had to get it together. Just set a timer for teenager to be whiny and angsty about homework. Cut down on complaints by a lot
