Timeline cleanse: handses! Video captured on my after-work walk today in Acadia NP, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot territory. Be sure not to mistake the tail for a lily pad.

When was the academic hay day of Twitter? How long did it take to create that? How long has Bluesky been up and running as a viable alternative?

Not a bad view. Stadium number 21 Busch Stadium Rangers vs. Cardinals

Big debate here. Is ORCID pronounced Orc ID or orchid? #academia #Polsky

‼️ New paper with Ian McAllister (ANU) out at @respol.bsky.social. We use @ess-survey.bsky.social data to study over-time changes in the association between education and left-right self-placements.

I was on the academic job market in 2008, '09, and '10, as the bottom fell out. Assurances that a wave of retirements was *just about to* open things up never materialized. I'm forever grateful that I found my pivot and have a meaningful new career. But it was a scary time.

488. Bass Harbor Headlight. Lighthouse. Acadia National Park. Maine. Travel. Timeline Cleanser. Day 488 of 1460. #PhotographersUnited Daily photo to get through this era. Some days and some photos will be better than others. I'd love to see your photos in my replies.

But do you remember the opening act for the bands you've seen?

Buried in Pope Leo's Magnifica Humanitas encyclical is a quote from Gandalf, so LOTR is now *canon* canon

One more, and perhaps the last, from #OceanPathTrail in Acadia National Park! This black + white beauty is best viewed large, so make sure to tap it! ✨✨ More Acadia National Park to come. 🖤 Until then, you can find this image in my print shop, linked in thread. #printshop #prints #mainecoast

You know how it is with an April day When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, A cloud comes over the sunlit arch, A wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March. Robert Frost

🚨 Blog post: When Using OLS Hurts 😩 I replicated a high-profile study on racial bias in tenure decisions and show the authors weakened their own findings by using OLS instead of ordered beta regression 🤯. Use ordered beta and live your best life 👍 #rstats www.robertkubinec.com/post/ord_bet...

Great for polisci phds looking for alt-academic opportunity.

Small town politics are always really interesting as an observed. A candidate wins with 4 votes barharborstory.substack.com/p/trenton-re...

I will miss this calla lilly by my front door

I was privileged to read earlier drafts and this is phenomenal for understanding primary elections and the role of parties. This has been a long time coming and it's well worth the wait

Special stuff this 💜💙 #AVFC

This is consistent with what we find more generally. Primary voters and donors whose presidential primary candidate loses are less likely to continue to participate in the party's primary. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fg0we...

Here’s a puzzle from recent GOP primaries: Why has Trump seemed to become more/especially effective at using endorsements to shape primary outcomes despite being at some of his lowest levels of support in either term?

“The Republican Party has not succeeded at much lately, but they have succeeded in making this debate the most disjointed one possible.” – Mar. 22

“The gentleman's explanation is a very interesting one, and someday I will figure out what point he was explaining because it is not the issue I raised.” – Mar. 2

My own personal favorite Barney Frank quote: "The key to understanding deal making in Congress is to remember that the ankle bone is connected to the shoulder bone. Anything can be the basis of a deal...In Congress, the jurisdiction is universal."

Elected officials pay as much attention to those who are not registered to vote as butchers do to the food preferences of vegetarians.” -Barney Frank, mic.com/articles/167...

“The problem... is this: You don’t get any credit for [a] disaster averted. Going to voters and saying, ‘Boy, things really suck. But you know what? If it wasn’t for me, they would suck worse.’ That is not a platform on which anybody has ever gotten elected.” -Barney Frank

Salary dump

And now we wait for Fenway Sports Group to leak a bunch of behind-the-scenes slander about Little Joe now that he's gone. Tale as old as time...

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

You didn't build that. ----------- Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God...And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. Deuteronomy 8:11, 17 www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/script...

Guardiola a bit too harsh on Vector Autoregression models www.skysports.com/football/new...

Amazing in retrospect that there was once a poli sci debate about whether majority-minority districts hurt Black Democratic voters because they could break up 2 districts with a moderate White Dem into 1 Black Dem and 1 white GOP district. An example where polarization really has changed the context

I think sometimes we have a fear of sending something out that's not perfect. There may be folks who continually revise and seek more feedback. I wonder if mentor programs make that worse and we need better mentors who encourage submission.

Excited to share an updated paper from a longstanding agenda with Andy Hall, @dthompson.bsky.social, and Jesse Yoder: "Fortunate Sons: Elite Political Selection in American History" We link Members of Congress (+ their families) to the complete count census, covering congresses from 1850-the 2000s

This alone should be a cautionary tale against adoption.

Before McNollGast or BDM there was JBC

I really need to cite Charles Ghequiere Fenwick more.
