Excited to share that Cindy Kam’s and my article is published online! We examine item refusal pre- and post-Dobbs and find a significant increase in women’s refusal to disclose their pregnancy status after the decision, with concerning implications for research, policy, and women’s health.

I'm not sure I agree with everything here, but this struck a chord: "We ought to ask ourselves if this is the game we actually want to be playing."

Lots of people are suddenly convinced that Claude is going to fundamentally disrupt academic work, but I will believe that when Claude can spend four months going back and forth with the business department about whether expenses from a conference were properly labelled in Concur.

Today, on #PresidentsDay, take advantage of free entry into our National Parks, truly “America’s Best Idea!” As Theodore Roosevelt reminded us, “cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history.”

> 71 percent said their professors create a classroom environment that supports both students who express unpopular opinions and those who may be upset by such views. Good job everyone. And I mean this sincerely. It is hard out there and we are doing a good job.

Acadia National Park in Maine is America's most visited national park. The beautiful lakes, epic rocky coastline, colorful sunrises, and quintessential fall color all make Acadia a painter's dream. Acadia First Light Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson, 2024 40 x 50 in #oilpainting #dailyart #art

On the one hand SEO hacking has been a thing. On the other hand, Google generated a bunch of ways to try to limit that effect for search none of which seem to have been applied to Gemini. On the third hand, at its best SEO drove traffic so you could better identify shady websites once you clicked.

Newsletters are just blogs that spam your email inbox. Can we just have Google Reader back again?

This sounds like the academic community as well. "It's great to get caught up on what people are up to – but why did I need this conversation to do so? I didn't used to... What was once a bubbling community all operating in the same space is now a fractured, splintered, unrewarding landscape."

Thoughtful critique. We don't know the true distribution of what people are interested in. I still suspect, given personal experience with feedback on null results, that there is a bias, but the critique is a reasonable one

This short thread is worth a read, but this stands out to me. I've found that null results often elicit a "yes, but what about..." response. Yes, we don't find any effect of x on y, but obviously (despite previous assertions by others) the real effect of x is on z.

Single peaked preferences are ocassionally an erroneous assumption.

Gonna write a piece on this soon. The tactical jump from the bottom/middle to the "top" just isn't for everyone. Having blind faith in a guy to revolutionise his own playing style is not the one.

American exceptionalism is dying

Once upon a time I was taking a train from East Berlin to Budapest. It was crowded to start with, and I was sitting on the floor, but everything got worse in Dresden, when many rowdy young E. Germans got on. They spilled beer on my head. They tripped over me. It was 2am and I didn’t want a fight…

Far too many people treat voters who say they are independent but “lean towards” one party assume they’re from the middle and “leaning out” towards one party, rather than the far left or right and “leaning in”

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...

There are fewer pictures of Acadia posted in the winter, but they are just as beautiful.

MN GOP gubernatorial candidate quits race over ICE. I admit, I have never seen policy disagreement as a reason for quitting mid race. Distancing for future runs? Probably wasn't frontrunner, so how much of this is an excuse? www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...
