@usatoday.com
last week ahead of the No Kings protests that happened over the weekend.

Hundreds of thousands are expected to demonstrate on No Kings Day in what some believe will be the largest day of protest in modern U.S. history.

Man The Hunter should not be accepted blindly, but is the strong male bias in hunting really a "myth"? Here is my plot of the most comprehensive data on individual hunting returns that I know, Koster et al. 2020🧪

(Caveat: the Koster data do have limitations & biases)

Is there a "crisis in the humanities"? Why? Thanks to
@xphilosopher.bsky.social
for pointing me (from the other site) to data and testable explanations of a "sudden and truly massive decrease in interest in the humanities within academia". How might you explain this? I'll add some thoughts below.

Interesting stuff all around but this Liam Donovan line sticks: "so long as voters continue to channel their frustrations with Washington by sending people committed to burning it down, the cycle of dysfunction will continue."

Congratulations to
@zeitzoff.bsky.social
on his new book, a timely and compelling look at why democratic politicians turn to insults and violence even though it turns off voters. Drawing on original data from the US, Israel, and Ukraine, it’s a role model for cross-subfield work!
