www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/a... last lines really land. “Everyone’s got to make their nut, even if some people’s nuts are bigger than others. Maybe it takes bleep-you money to buy your freedom. But maybe, “South Park” is telling us, freedom comes from deciding that your self-respect is priceless.”

Terrific @asapolisoc.bsky.social panel on Political Engagement at #asa2025 this am. Overall takeaway, conventional understandings of engagement are far too restricted to voting. E.g. Case's research says egalitarian and redistributive ballot initiatives are hugely popular, esp. in red states.

New article: "minority-owned businesses were less likely to be claimed on Google Maps and received fewer consumer review comments compared to their non-minority counterparts." The findings have implications for which businesses survived during the pandemic.

Amplifying this. When I took @laurenfeldman.bsky.social’s course in political communication as a media studies doctoral student at Rutgers, she assigned us Jeffrey Berry & @sobieraj.bsky.social’s 2014 book “The Outrage Industry.” Worth checking out.
