What is the hive mind view of the Frontiers (e.g frontiers in political science) journals ? I have seen some controversy about them being predatory, but also have seen colleagues publish interesting papers in them.

Does anyone have recommmendation for papers in "mainstream" political science that problematize this polarization framing?

Hakeem Jefferson @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social · 21d

So much of the absurdity in how some elites talk about Charlie Kirk—or navigate the authoritarian politics of this regime—stems from political science’s and the elite class’s fixation on polarization, and the misguided belief that it’s inherently bad and that the “remedy” is civil submission.

Trying to apply a regex-based dictionary to a (fairly large) corpus in Quanteda, and my computer is chocking hard on it. Are there any tips for optimizing such tasks that other users may have?

I found the new moleskins to bleed ink like crazy. My personal favorites are dingbat notebooks, then Leuchtturm and then moleskine .

It is not exactly what you are looking for, but situations like this (for me at least) are often conected to double-binds .

340.000 Absätze, 15.831.486 Wörter. Unsere Analyse aller Reden der AfD in deutschen Landtagen zeigt: Über „Remigration“ spricht sie nicht nur auf Geheimtreffen. Seit zehn Jahren bereitet die AfD dem F...

Researchers interested in #unfairness: Is there any PolSci/SoSci lit emp. analyzing the correlation btw. different dimensions of perceived unfairness? That is, NOT procedural vs. distributional, but btw. economic, political, cultural, life unfairness (perceptions)? Suggestions greatly appreciated!
