Hands down my favorite thing about #APSA25 was how many friends and friends of friends had freshly published books that were being promoted in the exhibition hall 🥰

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Two things: First, and notably, he says his wife was cleared by US Customs and Immigration pre-check in Ireland and then arrested upon arrival in Chicago. People were questioning whether this would be a safe way to avoid detainment and, guess not.

extremely relatable moment on Bake-Off

Next week, @fuzheng.bsky.social and I will workshop our paper on public perception of AI evaluation in China based on a national survey. If you are at NYC - come and say hi!

Can anyone recommend a trustworthy, simple bulk deleter for Bluesky? (I can do complicated if I have to, but I'm tired and would rather not.)

As grim as this story may be, there's still much to be inspired by. Look no further than this attorney for the children, who rushed to the airport to stop the planes. She stood near the tarmac, warning any officials she saw that they’d be complicit in violating a court order if the planes took off.

Any suggestions on great Indian food and Chinese food places in Vancouver?

today is one of those exciting days where I don't have to worry about which continent I'm on before I label my leftovers for the communal fridge because nobody can tell I wrote the month second and the day first 🥳

wow I briefly felt good about some writing I did and then I looked at the Internet - really should have just stayed offline

We truly wish we didn't have to take money for these cases, and it is such a relief when we are approached by people who are crowdfunding or otherwise in the process of pulling money together. Short of that, we will often reduce fees for the most urgent/sympathetic situations. Just a tip there

I’ve heard from a lot of parents who are NOT introducing their kids to generative AI but fewer who are. If you are using generative AI with your young children and are open to chatting about it, please get in touch!

We are just weeks away from launch, y’all! (Yes, we are a bundle of excitement and nerves over here!! 😱) We thought this was a great time to introduce the co-founders of COYOTE: the busy humans who have been furiously plotting our debut. We'll share 1 or 2 a week til we launch.

I feel like such a cliche "European in the US" when I say things like this, but holy shit, having rights a consumer absolutely slaps (*especially* when you're going through a really bad experience with an airline)

We're hiring a new lecturer @stsucl.bsky.social. We're looking for someone with particular interests in the environment. Please share widely www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

You can doomscroll more tomorrow

Woah. @shen-lu.bsky.social is one of the best China journalists I know, I always try to keep up with her reporting. WSJ's China coverage will be poorer for laying her off, but other papers now have a shot at making theirs better by hiring her 👀

Apropos of nothing, I’m really grateful for @chrisgeidner.bsky.social’s legal coverage, which is lucid, detailed, accessible, and lightening fast. I wouldn’t be able to follow the fallout of this administration’s actions without him. www.lawdork.com

Wie Ruth Bader Ginsburg mal schrieb, als würde man bei einem Schauer seinen Regenschirm wegwerfen, weil man nicht nass wird.

Let’s talk change: Resiliente Verwaltung 📅11.09.25 🕥10:30 💻online @viviankube.bsky.social erklärt, was Vereine und Organisationen beim Engagement gegen extrem Rechte dürfen und wann Behördenmitarbeitende Weisungen nicht befolgen müssen. Infos und Anmeldung: mitwirkung-berlin.de/2025/06/03/r...

Again, just goes to show how this is a form of political targeting focustaiwan.tw/sports/20250...

Und einfache Anfragen gibt's über fragdenstaat.at

We are still looking for interviewees working on and with open-source software, especially from thus far underrepresented groups (people with little to medium experience working on OSS, those in mid-career stages (10–20 years on the job), women and nonbinary people, people over 45 years old).

Crowd sourcing: I am trying to get some art for my office. I think I want Works Progress Admin. posters. I really want this one, but I haven't found a digital file of it that I could print. Does anyone know a good source for high res WPA posters? I checked NARA but didn't see this one.

Zwecks Sonntagslektüre nochmal Repost. Bemerkenswert finde ich auch die sehr mutige und direkte Auseinandersetzung mit Jessen. Für sowas braucht es Rückgrat. Mehr als man sich außerhalb von Redaktionen vielleicht vorstellen kann.

Some good citations in the thread

to be clear: an F-1 visa does not come with $$ to support graduate education compared to other fields, biomedical research is insanely complex & multidisciplinary it's nearly impossible to master the requisite skills & also make substantive discoveries that merit a PhD in 4 years

My top ten tips for Obsidian Bases

The University of Chicago Department of Political Science is hiring at the junior level in American Politics and Quantitative Methods; links below:

The art within Sword of the Sea is beyond beautiful and impressive. It is nothing short of a tragedy Natalie is looking for work right now. Please share this and hire her ASAP.

This is a 5-year postdoc position! One for the queer STS / medical humanities and other scholars out there. What a cool opportunity

I’m sorry, I know nobody asked for my Ghibli power rankings, but now you’re gonna get them! 🧵

Best new-ish book about Chinese politics?

Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung. Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll. Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.

damn i would've loved to have been there for the job talk

this is a subject I know a weird amount about. a bubonic plague reservoir remains in fleas and small mammals in both Northeast Asia and the SW US; doctors typically see a handful of cases every year, antibiotics work on it and it's nothing to panic about.

Orgin beats Performance. In Germany, 10th graders who apply for an apprenticeship have a 15pp lower chance to receive an answer. @dgsoziologie.bsky.social @mpsa.bsky.social @davidajaeger.bsky.social @cesifo.org @danbischof.bsky.social @p-hunermund.com papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The extremely wise words of @adriandaub.bsky.social: "if crazy shit can happen that's bad, why shouldn't crazy shit happen that's good? Is it conceivable that the cops will change the way they've always done business in America? Doesn't seem likely. But so did a pandemic." 1/5

I only just realized six hours after i had the idea why i had it: we need more of an intentional effort at lawyer-academic-scientist-activist cross-pollination. There are sectors of resistance whih don't seem to talking to each other right now which should be and this is feeling like a way to try

You can tell my nerd level based on the fact that I'm *extremely* excited about this software update 😅
