A very interesting paper, worth a read especially on a day like this .

I know many of us have lost hope of being ever accepted to this, but do not lose hope and keep on applying, the time will come

My two cents on the APSR replication debate is that the lesson to learn is that the PAP is to our work what the VAR is to football: we don't quite like it, but we recognize its value when we miss it.

It has become common for those who embody the traits of a stigmatized category to define it—in ways that conveniently exclude them.Antisemites, for example, claim authority to decide who is antisemitic; today, far-right supporters use the same strategy,defining ‘far-right’ to exempt their own views.

Radical-right parties are often linked to the “left-behind”. But supporting them when stigma is strong is costly. So who is willing to pay that cost early on, before it’s normalized? In my new WP, I argue that breaking political norms is socially stratified. 🧵👇
