🚨New preprint on a verboten topic: social correlates of views on abortion. Analyzing millions of geolocated tweets, we find a gender gap in abortion stance, show it widens in conservative states and identify the structural factors involved. w/ @ashwinrao.bsky.social 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2507.05443

BTW there are SO MANY Jewish languages, people here's a resource mapping about 33 of them, from Juhuri/Judeo-Tat to Haketia to Jewish Malayalam:

Here's something very cool: @yiddishbookcenter.bsky.social, the YIVO Institute, the National Library of IL, and the NYPL all combined forces to put like 60k digitized Yiddish books in one searchable database. (Less useful if, like me, you don't really know Yiddish, but hella cool nonetheless:)

📢 Big news for platform researchers across Europe and beyond: Today, the @ec.europa.eu adopted the Delegated Act for Article 40 of the Digital Services Act (DSA) – a long-anticipated milestone enabling researchers to request access to non-public platform data under Article 40.4.

It predicts pretty well—not just shifts in the last week, but also: 1. Who’s working an overnight shift (in our data + external validation in MIMIC) 2. Who’s working on a disruptive circadian schedule 3. How many patients has the doc seen *on the current shift*

Societal AI Research Has Become Less Interdisciplinary CS-only teams account for a growing share of work on fairness, safety, and other societal concerns in AI. What does this mean for AI governance and the role of SSH? New working paper, feedback welcome! arxiv.org/abs/2506.08738

In our new paper (w/ @jongreen.bsky.social , @davidlazer.bsky.social, & Philip Resnik), now up in Nature Human Behaviour (nature.com/articles/s41562-025-02223-4), we argue that this tension really speaks to a broader misconceptualization of what misinformation is and how it works.
