"Women who attended high school in metropolitan areas hold a clear BA advantage, but not women who attended nonmetropolitan high schools, where girls earn higher grades than boys yet attain bachelor’s degrees at similar rates." Just out in our journal, @sociologicalsci.bsky.social

Wonderful story about my mom, Avis Cohen, in @thetransmitter.bsky.social, by @sarahthau.bsky.social, who put in serious work to do this so well:

How come that we have detailed knowledge of all members of the #NSDAP? Because on April 18th, 1945, the production boss of a paper mill near Munich, Hanns Huber, hid the membership documents instead of destroying them, as the Nazi commanders had told him to do.

New at PB: Founding editor Caitlin Zaloom interviews author and scholar @ninabandelj.bsky.social about her new book “Overinvested: The Emotional Economy of Modern Parenting” (@princetonupress.bsky.social), the latest installment in our partnership with @casbsstanford.bsky.social.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

Published in full for the first time, the notes for a short toast John Maynard Keynes gave at a Malthusian League dinner in 1926. Here is the key bit. He thinks England's population will soon peak and decline, which was wrong by a century or so (barring more immigration), but the eugenics bit... /1

The progress in cancer survival over my lifetime is a continuous source of wonder to me (not from reading the statistics, but from the people I've known, and also myself)

This paragraph is MAHA-speak for "we don't want teens taking birth control." That term doesn't appear in this grant notice once, by the way simpler.grants.gov/opportunity/... files.simpler.grants.gov/opportunitie...

NYT's story about Chevalier's old tweets says she "disparaged [white people's] methods of personal hygiene" when she mocked Mike Huckabee for saying people "from the rural south" know how to weather a toilet paper shortage by using corn husks. No mention of race. (Several Pinocchios awarded!)

The money they spent on their war of choice against Iran could have lifted every poor family with children in America out of poverty for a year just by giving them cash.

every billionaire is a policy failure

Bethany Mandel everyone: normie Jewish people I disagree with are the servant of Nazis but not like our cool Nazi friends

Interesting discussion of how LLMs weren’t great (were biased) at qualitative coding of interviews, but a custom machine learning model was better. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Put her on the Education Committee and make Columbia's leadership testify again.

TBH I feel like Mamdani has bent over backwards to demonstrate that he's not remotely antisemitic, and guys like Frum who will call him an antisemite anyway on the basis of his religion and anti-Zionism are doing the work of bona fide antisemites

Making "scientific American" an obsolete term

Eye-balling the graph: Among US married-couple families with children in 2025, husband-only employed (~25%) is about 5x more likely than wife-only employed (~5%).

It’s feudalist Amway—if you convince enough people to sign up for serfdom, you get a fief.

Salary: $200,000-$450,000 The minimum salary on this is more than I have made every year as a full time #attending #medical #doctor except the two years where I picked up a bunch of extra shifts treating rapidly dying #COVID19 patients

People have century-scale ambitions with pronatalist programs, but results are limited to fragments of a decade. Here, Romania banned abortion in the 1960s, resulting in untold human suffering and death; and Russia paid out many billions in child subsidies after 2007. And yet history moves on.

Republicans "becoming" more reactionary. But this may represent hardened party sorting on ideological grounds -- becoming complete world-view packages rather than a preponderance of attitudes -- more than people changing their minds. Eg, Republicans kicking out people who support gay rights.

As I sign up for more political fundraising emails, I'm gonna start surfacing the most AI-generated candidate website designs I'm finding. Here's one for Virginia McIntyre, a NY congressional hopeful:

'Went twice' lol

"obliterate." I have a question about nuclear weapons in this era. Russia can't subdue Ukraine. The US can't subdue Iran. Are nuclear weapons only useful as a deterrent against nuclear powers? ...

Actually, this is a somewhat useful text, in that all of the historical nonsense here is built to underscore a specific mysogynist argument: that it is better to have a bad, difficult and precarious life where you can brutalize women than a relatively prosperous and secure one where you can't

That feeling of vertigo when you give someone information with a link to the webpage that is the authoritative original source and they aren't satisfied until Claude confirms it, and they helpfully send you a screenshot of the Claude output.

New preprint: There is only one correct analysis. osf.io/preprints/ps... with @sajedehra.bsky.social and @mntunc.bsky.social We take a critical look at recent proposals for multiverse or many analyst procedures, and strongly argue that epistemic uncertainty should be reduced, not “embraced”. >

Paul Krugman is in his 70s. He has to be among the wealthiest 1% in the world. His decision to paywall his blog might prove some economic theories I thought were overblown.

I'm not reading this article but the video seems sad. Why don't you just learn on your kid? It's fun.

The summer after a sabbatical is a grotesquely extended version of Sunday night thing

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

🚀 "ntwrk": A Stata package for network analysis 🚀 ⭐ Yesterday at the @statacorp.bsky.social Germany 2026 conference in Munich, I showcased the #ntwrk package: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... The package is a designed for both network analysis and graph layouts. Check it out! Up soon SSC.

2017 pronatalist billboard from Russia: "Protect me today. I can protect you tomorrow" (with encouragement to endorse a ban on abortion). I guess that kid is about 10 today: time to die fighting in Ukraine. (x.com/OigenTolsur/...)

I used to teach research and writing skills as well as sociology knowledge in my large classes. Because of forces beyond my control, I no longer have the capacity to do that. Now I just teach the content, with assessment based on in-class testing. That's it. This AI stuff is someone else's problem.

As for what I am doing being political, my outside of work activities often are. Because I care deeply about the future of science and my country, I engage in politics often. All Americans should as much as they can.

They're literally called Greenwater Services

Turning Title X into a coercive pronatalist program makes sense -- like turning the EEOC into an anti-trans litigator and the refugee program into an Afrikaner tourism bureau.

Dozens of high-ranking Israeli officials, including former prime ministers Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, charge that Netanyahu and his far-right government 'have done nothing and are doing nothing to eradicate Jewish terror' against Palestinians in the West Bank www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
