The one thing Claude can't do for me is squats.

Yeah Simon- as I say here - if he loses, seems sure he will contest the results and claim Ukrainian interference www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Thoughts about new MacBook Pro? My 2020 air is on its last leg. I’m working with some large datasets and some Claude code.

Thanks @apsa.bsky.social for the mention to my coauthored #education dataset with @chknutsen.bsky.social and @plutscher.bsky.social in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. Paper: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... Data: dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtm...

Finally, my new paper is out in Comparative Political Studies. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... It shows that anti-system politics often begins inside firms: when employers take the low road, offering poor job quality and unfair hierarchies, even well-off workers turn against the system.

New publication just out at @cpsjournal.bsky.social: using household panel data from Germany, I show that residential moves are associated with declines in local-level engagement but have no effect on national-level engagement. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New article out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social with Tabea Palmtag and @dpzollinger.bsky.social 📝 We use open-ended survey questions (in Germany) to assess how and among whom social status shifts are perceived. This tests cultural backlash narratives in voters' perceptions. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/0010...

I'm so jazzed that this is in print! it was a dream team! @profdansmith.bsky.social @fiva.no @alicirone.bsky.social

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Why does women’s progress stall—even under PR? Our forthcoming APSR paper shows how roles like mayor & list leader act as hidden hurdles—& how parties respond. Paper with @profdansmith.bsky.social @alicirone.bsky.social @teele.bsky.social and Gary Cox. 📄 ssrn.com/abstract=445...

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents
