Toch ook opvallend: het relatief lage aantal voorkeursstemmen voor Thierry Baudet, nr. 2 op de lijst (22.032, tegen 427.882 voor lijsttrekker Lidewij de Vos)

Running my Maastricht negotiation simulation in class and I'm impressed with the student that stepped up with an explicit , almost role-playing WWJDD strategy (what would Jacques Delors do)

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.

I've seen enough. Tillamook has won the night.

In the laid back Nile Delta Town of sunny Amarna Lived a man named Ozymandias, you probably were in awe He was stone 2800 of his 2830 years, and his story was widely told That his works would cause despair much faster than you could scarce behold

Dat de positieve campagne van D66 gewerkt heeft is eigenlijk niet verrassend. Kiezers van links tot rechts hebben de voorkeur dat hun partijleider positieve emoties gebruikt en minder negatieve emoties. De data hieronder uit drie surveys laten dit zien (grootste partijen op dat moment). [1/2]

A special @dutchnewsnl.bsky.social podcast episode based on the NOS exit poll which projects D66 will become the largest party with 27 seats, with the PVV second on 25. www.patreon.com/posts/electi...

Wilders' PVV loses tonight, but the Far Right remains stable in the Netherlands: 40 seats out of 150 (with these exit polls), against 41 in the elections two years ago.

Een op de tien D66 kiezers wil D66 niet in een volgend kabinet?🤔

D66 in the lead, Wilders' party down but another far-right party, Ja21, jumps from 1 seat to 9. Complex results from the Dutch elections and it'll take a long time to form a government

This particular corner of Blijdorp seems to be a PvdD stronghold

Come join @stanveuger.bsky.social @colinmbrown.bsky.social Muriel Rouyer and me @europeatharvard.bsky.social today at 2.30 pm to make sense of the 2025 Dutch parliamentary elections! Details: ces.fas.harvard.edu/events/2025/...

Lunchtime update on Election Day in the Netherlands: “Everything Remains Possible”

I am willing to have the debate about using AI for things like managing the website, etc (administrative tasks). I have a position to take in that fight too, but I understand why it's debatable but I truly cannot imaginatively inhabit thinking it's even possibly okay for pastoral care or sermons

There will be a tipping point, where the acceptance of violating the law spreads well beyond Trump. Lawful/peaceful societies are built around voluntary acceptance of laws and rules--with some, but limited, need for enforcement. We're headed for a cultural shift that will be hard to reign back in

Dutch voters are headed to the polls again next Wednesday—join @jonathanmijs.com, Muriel Rouyer, @colinmbrown.bsky.social, and me as we analyze the early results at @europeatharvard.bsky.social.

The difficulty of interpreting Dutch election polls given the high number of floating/undecided voters is compounded by the generally high turnout of Dutch general elections (mid-70s).

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences slashed the number of Ph.D. student admissions slots for the Science division by more than 75 percent and for the Arts & Humanities division by about 60 percent for the next two years. William C. Mao and Veronica H. Paulus report. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

If I immediately react with a joke and then scroll to find twenty other better versions of the joke, that's definitely off the record, just letting you know

Wait everything we post on Bluesky is off the record, right? You're all professionals so that's not weird to say but just letting you know.

I actually have a piece in Political Science Educator on similar themes about the AP US Gov curriculum, and how it's not really a polisci curriculum at all and -especially if they use this to test out of social sciences- gives them a warped understanding of politics: web.apsanet.org/teachingcivi...

This would be a good gig for people interested in the teaching and learning side of higher ed. Staff job at a place with resources, and speaking from my experience speaking there, really good folks. wd5.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui...

AI should be used to ask ourselves what learning looks like, rather than reconsidering what counts as cheating. It's learning that's supposed to be the point of all this, right?

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Those of you at universities might share our recent report on public opinion with their leadership. There are takeaways that are highly relevant to their choices in the current moment. In particular, there is broad, bipartisan, but latent, support for higher education. edbarometer.org

Gambetta & Origgi on the LL Game, in which agents prefer to deliver and receive (!) low quality. This paper is absolutely savage but also feels uncomfortably relevant to parts of academia outside of Italy 👀 diegogambetta.org/wp-content/u...

One of the best parts of teaching is saying to a student, "I've never thought of it that way. That's a really good idea for a project." We are giving them skills to push past what we know into new areas of research.
