A man in academia: He's amazing! He doesn't disrespect me, allows me to suggest my own ideas & even got me an unpaid internship. A woman in ac: She advocated so I'd get pay for internship, supported my mental health & gave me a kidney. But her 'hello' was cold. She might be a bitch, I don't know.

There is absolutely no reason to deport a longtime journalist who is authorized to work in the United States. The Dekalb County Sheriff's Office should not have released Mario Guevara to ICE.

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the lawsuits when cops do illegal stuff like this. It’s unconscionable.

Well now we know why Uber + Waymo is a sponsor. They paid $25K to be sponsors. This is why we need to get corporate money out of the non-profit industrial complex. At least our concerns are being heard by the local media. @threadatl.bsky.social

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Take care of yourself includes bring water. Wear sunscreen. BRING MEDS! Do you need an EpiPen? A rescue inhaler? Insulin? Bring it to the protest! Bonus points if you can bring the box with the prescription on it.

Why spend $500k on humble improvements that benefit a broad community when you could instead blow $10M on a crazy ass segregated-access bridge?

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

INBOX: In an op-ed, leaders of Atlanta Botanical Garden, Park Pride, and Trust for Public Land embraced Mayor Dickens' "group project" to kill the voter-approved Streetcar East Extension and move things Southside. They are now calling for building a second Eastside BeltLine along the streetcar ROW.

Lots of people are in crisis. Many of us have lost our jobs. Others been reduced to half time. The rest fear what’s coming. Education evaluation positions have been entirely eliminated at some firms. The world for thousands is radically different than it was even 3 months ago. So, yeah, this tracks.

Very excited to see that Rohit Malhotra is running for Atlanta City Council president –– it's genuinely important that he defeats his opponent, who has repeatedly voted for Cop City, to keep the jail open, and to enhance criminal penalties. saportareport.com/ccis-rohit-m...

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

Economists looking at an idea from sociology literature that they will be the first to write a paper on.

Will’s right. I’ve been here all along.

Un-American for thine, graduation for mine.

One in twenty marta riders gave up riding on the subway in the past year, after giving it a try as COVID-19 restrictions eased up. That is a horrifying outlier compared to the rest of the nation and firmly puts Atlanta in the "transit death spiral" category.

Many correspondence audits collect data on multiple characteristics but don't examine all potential forms of discrimination. In our latest paper on @socarxiv.bsky.social, “Missing Results of Discrimination,” we show that scholars may unintentionally miss key findings. osf.io/preprints/so...

🚨 New paper alert, with @johnjhorton.bsky.social! Using an experiment run on a large online labor market, we provide evidence that providing employers access to an AI-written first draft of a job post harms the efficiency of the market. emmawiles.github.io/storage/jobo...

Daily to reminder people in northern cities: Alot of the southern states would be solidly blue but many of these states make it *absurdly* difficult for black people and poor people, especially poor black people, to vote. The Shelby decision was absolutely devastating.

Without adopting this analysis, the vast majority of the studies in the meta-analysis (78.8%) misinterpret, under or overestimate, or miss nuances in discrimination for at least one identity category.

New paper out at @sociologicalsci.bsky.social! Using an audit study design, we show that in non-tech occupations, job hoppers receive fewer callbacks than those with résumés showing stable careers. For tech occupations, we find the opposite pattern: job hopping increases the probability of callback!

Someone...anyone...please run against this blight on Atlanta.

Streets Alive on Peachtree Street today! This is our local open-streets event. What beautiful weather we had for it. I wish Atlanta would close Peachtree to cars like this every Sunday.

I’m thrilled this is out! Job seekers are often hired into their contacts’ workplaces. We show that contacts’ informal networks in their workplace help job seekers get hired, but optimal networks look different in these settings.

let me tell you, if someone told me at 15 I could carry a TV, VCR, camcorder, stereo, digital encyclopedia, porn collection, sports almanac, video game system, easel in a small tiny device, I would have gotten less done than I did left to my own creative "devices". But I hated being surveilled then

Academic journals time bipolarity: Before acceptance, every interaction takes months. After acceptance, they need everything from you within 48hours.

You can tell AI was made by overconfident White men. When it doesn't know what you're talking about, it just pretends it does and makes shit up to sound like it's smarter than you.

The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

Let’s say you have very low sample response rate (recruit tens of millions and only tens of thousands self select into sample). Then you have a RCT where there is clean random assignment of treatment. Does the first stage sample selection bias your estimate of causal effect of treatment?

What happens to people when researchers encourage them to deactivate Facebook or Instagram for a few weeks in the lead up to an election? People get modestly* happier/less depressed/less anxious. "The Facebook effect is driven by people >35, while the Instagram effect is driven by women <25."
