It’s very frustrating… like @peterla.bsky.social says that’s not where we are at all.. but that the progress party is getting such a large share of the votes is troubling.. but I do wish we could keep headlines informative (and actually reflect the information from the interviews)

Norway heads to the polls in highly polarised ‘Maga-fication’ election

Centre-left has rallied but uproar over cost of living and oil fund investment in Israel means outcome is hard to predict

If the articles from my PhD were my children this article now published in @bjpols.bsky.social is my favorite. Written together with truly amazing supervisors and mentors, Pieter de Wilde, Oliver Treib, and Lene Aarøe, I had the support I needed in bringing this baby into the world. Summary below 👇

Female academics are much more affected by the birth of a child than are male academics.

Academic mothers are much more likely to...

◾temporarily leave the labor force

◾and, if they return, shift away from tenure-track positions.

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

Will Jennings 🗳️ @drjennings.bsky.social · Apr 28

Online radicalisation of elites is a significant and yet poorly understood aspect of contemporary politics.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · Apr 28

Holy shit, when Richard Hanania is not far enough right for you. Would love to hear what US Senators and prominent bloggers doing appearances with Andreessen think.

As I explain in this entry; Incorporating psychological perspectives relating to feelings of power and marginalization will be necessary moving forward in understanding unelected representation.

If you think that now is the time to take unelected representation seriously, as we are seeing an unelected billionaire gain unprecedented political influence, you may want to read this:
