There’s been a lot of buzz around the Borjas/Breznau (2026) paper (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and potential ideological bias in research. We took a closer look at the data. Could there be a "bias in bias research"? Here is what we found: www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10...

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

This weekend I witnessed a brutal misogynistic assault in public, read annoyed texts from female friends leaving multiple clubs to escape harassment by men, and sat by as others exchanged story after story of workplace sexism. No news at all, but this world urgently needs more feminism, not less.

Wir erheben grade dutzende Interviews und es ist wirklich irre, wie komplett weg vom Radar der Klimawandel ist.

This obituary makes it sound like he was criticized by polluters and jealous peers, not those who pointed out the links between the movement he sparked (ZPG) and eugenics, the very politics that have delivered us “mass deportations now” and untold border violence www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/b...

Geography shapes social processes – voting, migration & protests are often spatially dependent in ways standard regression models can’t capture. Learn with @ruettenauer.bsky.social to detect, visualize & model spatial ties via advanced spatial regression techniques! ➡️ t1p.de/geodata-spat...
