In the absence of adequate staff, the lion's share of the administrative burden of helping the elderly navigate SSA will fall on adult daughters, DILs, and female friends.

The war on the elderly, the war on lower income Americans, and the war on women are the same war.

I've never been happier to see the dollar slide and the Dow lose a lot points...

I sure hope so...

Two great job opportunities in polisci/CPE at @ipz.bsky.social

Less than 2 weeks left to apply!

Glad you're OK!

Another job opening in my school - this one in partnership with the Geary Institute of Public Policy:

Ad Astra Fellow (Assistant Professor) in Public Policy and Administration.

Info here: my.corehr.com/pls/coreport...

I joined UCD as an Ad Astra Fellow, so happy to answer any questions if I can!

My school @ucdpolitics.bsky.social has 2 positions (deadline Feb 21) one in Global Governance, one in Environmental Politics.

They're called "Ad Astra Fellows" but between you & me they're basically tenure-track posts. It's a good deal. You get a PhD line & annual €5000 research budget for 5 years.

Fill your feed with photos honoring this courageous American.

TV is definitely post-2001. Why buy new stuff all the time when the existing stuff works? And if the furniture looks OK (to the beholder), why replace it?

Absolutely delighted to announce that @inigoaldama.bsky.social passed his PhD viva today w/ minor corrections! Many thanks to extern @karlobasta.bsky.social, intern @karendublin.bsky.social & chair @nessawinston-ucd.bsky.social for a great viva! @ucdspswsj.bsky.social

Congrats again Dr. Aldama!
