I searched the word "Redwall," no hits, sad

Interesting thing to think about nationally is how much candidate positioning specifically relates to ideological perceptions–and how much is ideological "vibes." Since 1972 there's really no variation on Republicans & differences among Democratic candidates perhaps more muted than we might guess.

This finding is a few years old now but relevant again after Bad Bunny's all-Spanish Super Bowl performance: In 2024, only around half of White Trump supporters (48%) said they were comfortable with people speaking a language other than English in public: www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

NEW: Earlier today, the Brooklyn bar Achilles Heel—owned by the fancy Marlow Collective hospitality group—announced its sudden closure after 13 years in business. Social media chatter (not on this post; comments are turned off) indicates the staff just gone public with a union drive last week.

Szobo!!!!

One could also wonder if these woes are more easily seen in Boomers entering the electorate, with a series of generally popular Republican presidents in these "impressionable years" and after. With Carter the sole buffer, little positive to shift to Dems. That's, then, a lot of votes.

Love the decision to add Bournemouth for context.

"Hate brings views" succinctly sums up so much.

.9%? That's the best?

Well, that’s just maddening

Finding a recent top 3 article where the substantive results appear to actually just be differential item functioning is fun. Should maybe start by assuming group differences are artifacts of the questions we're asking rather than people, say, knowing different things. Ex eoperez.com/wp-content/u...

Do you have to be a social scientist to know how funny this is?

Today seems like a nice day to re-up @leahchristiani.bsky.social 's excellent research on when white people approve of blatantly racist political messages. Not sure what made me think of it today, but anyway. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.

#AcademicSky #PrejudiceResearch #PsychSciSky Pleased to see a paper from the SIT crowd on individual differences in being groupy. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... IMO, SIT has long dismissed individual differences in group behaviour, in ways that set back our understanding.

Historical context really shows how anomalous 2021-2024 were. Inflation plus immigration hard electoral context.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

three key quotes about race and political reality

I am now off the clock, so I am officially, formally, incredibly thrilled that 'A Better Billion' is now in the world. And it's absolutely surreal to help with something that ends up with a feature in The New York Times. -- transitcosts.com/a-better-bil...

Gotta update the chart

Truly, the hardest question to answer in politics is: Who was president in 2020?

Brewery workers, bar owners, and union organizers in MSP are setting the mark on how to actually care for their community, rather than just invoke as a buzzword. At @vinepair.com, I reported how their work doubles as a playbook for colleagues nationwide whose homes may face MAGA sieges soon enough.

New from me: What’s going on in ICE detention isn’t just lethal (a 20-year high of 32 deaths last yr; 2 in a single facility this yr). It’s leading countless people to “choose” to give up their cases. Which was the core of Miller’s ‘23 mass deportation plan. linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%...

Really happy this work with @fraraffaelli.bsky.social found a home at EJPR. We show that growing up at times of high salience of immigration produces cohorts of voters who are more likely to vote for parties that they agree with specifically on immigration. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Ok sure, take my money.
