As you prepare your syllabus, here is my gift to you: www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxpTt...

While waiting for today's news out of Alaska, enjoy some survey data on public support for Ukraine aid when framed - as is so common - as a guns vs. butter trade-off. goodauthority.org/news/how-do-...

I hate to mention it, but it's syllabus time of the year already. If you are teaching Intro to American Politics, @goodauth.bsky.social and Justin Crowe have you covered with a new playlist for your semester. goodauthority.org/news/good-pl....

Eric Gonzalez Juenke's social science methods playlist made me smile while updating my syllabus. Hopefully, will do the same for my students. goodauthority.org/news/good-pl...

Any Slovenians want to weigh in on the multiple ways in which my son and I failed in our first attempt at making and most importantly flipping frika?

I have nothing clever to say. It is horrifying that any university would do this to their own students. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm grasping on to every straw of research and academic good news and yet missed this. Go OWLS: news.temple.edu/news/2025-05...

Today in moments of joy: nygroove.nyc/grand-army-p... Read through. The details are AMAZING.

Also, if you think I'm obsessed with Eurovision, you should meet my fridge.

Kudos to the EBU spokesperson who crafted a line sure to make political realists cry: "We all aspire to keep the Eurovision song contest positive and inclusive and aspire to show the world as it could be, rather than how it necessarily is." goodauthority.org/news/eurovis...

Need some joy in your life? May I recommend Eurovision. Semi-finals start today. If you like your entertainment with a side order of politics, Good Authority has you covered: goodauthority.org/news/eurovis... polisky

What are countries like Côte d'Ivoire supposed to do? 90% of their exports to the U.S. are cocoa beans and natural rubber - can you build those behind the tariff wall? No. My latest for @piie.com on the disaster these #tariffs may mean for many resource-dependent developing economies.

Am grateful for @toddntucker.bsky.social to take time out of a crazy trade day to chat with us @goodauth.bsky.social about what to expect in the aftermath of yesterday's tariff announcement. #polisky

#polisky Anyone else having their class develop and field a survey for class this semester? If you want to set up a swap board to help bulk up and diversify their convenience sample, let me know.

I'm trying to write a public opinion survey on tariffs right now. My IRB is very concerned with any potential deception. Do you think I can submit the investigative piece by the Onion in support of my question wording?

I know times are hard, but I thought that we could wait a little bit longer before eating the children. If you click on the image, you will see what arrived in my email today from the Washington Post's Eat Voraciously column.

The most enthusiastic pair of middle school girls stopped by to canvas today. While our house is one of the last they need to worry about turning out, I remembered @cwolbrecht.bsky.social research. The "worst" outcome still spurs a new, more diverse generation of women politicians.

#polisci So, what's your walking-to-the-polls playlist? @proflupton.bsky.social collected candidates' campaign songs back to 1800. (goodauthority.org/news/campaig...). It started me thinking about putting together the voters' playlist. Let me know, and I'll put it together on Spotify.

I hope this doesn't apply to anyone who follows me, but if you didn't vote in 2020 Cards Against Humanities has a deal for you. www.apologize.lol
