“…our findings are not an argument for encouraging women to delay parenthood further. Rather, they highlight a persistent structural problem: Even as academia has achieved broad gender balance at the doctoral level, the leaky pipeline remains a serious issue.”

Ah look it's Friday late afternoon and the markets have closed.

yeah, I kind of had to push through

The Fall, 'In My Area' (1979, 'Rowche Rumble' b-side). I have seen the good and bad I have seen the declining tracks I have seen the madness in my area I have seen the burrowmen Frozen pain that is so bad I have seen the madness in my area #FallFriday

as usual with these tests, I have psychometric concerns, but 'standard social democrat' seems reasonable for me, though I am not as good a dancer as Sanna Marin

Periodic reminder that publishing papers is not the goal in and of itself. The paper is a mechanism for sharing what you have learned--sharing processes and outcomes that others should be aware of/should think about too. 1/3

he's honestly spent most of his adult life doing a grand tour of every crank region of multidimensional ideological space that he can find

isn't this guy the cradle robber?

it's not quite the same here in the States but there are similarities; a key element was the view-from-nowhere sector of the media giving the corresponding folks within the opinion elite heavy billing & systematically priming narrow aspects of the issue in a way that heightened conflict

that's right

'Fun House' era Iggy was 'loose.' Trump is just a racist asshole.

First time back in the office after working at home for a few weeks and it appears that they have torn up the grassy area and felled all of the trees in front of Wilson Library. Didn’t think they could make the vibe on this part of campus any more Ballardian but they’re going to try, I suppose.

The "Rausschmeißbefehl" issued by Prince Regent Luitpold on Feb 25, 1905 said that Friedrich, aka Fred, Trump was a "person of poor moral character," not just because he left the country rather than perform his military service, but also because he was known to be the operator of a bordello.

Closest we got to having Italy at the World Cup

This: “By making excuses for the president’s bigotry, the Republican justices are not only making a mockery of the law—they are placing the lives of people of color in jeopardy.”

Meanwhile, here’s how Ohio’s governor, a Republican, responded to today’s decision.

Oh yeah it's totally the oddball outcomes in a couple of *Democratic* primaries that everyone should be obsessing about. Nothing weird at all about Republican primaries. No terrible candidates over on that side. No embarrassments to the party Dems can run against. No siree Bob.

Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.

the American right wing is a cesspool of vice and degeneracy

mullin is a fucking child

Happy 9th anniversary to #TwinPeaks Part 8: #DavidLynch @markfrost.bsky.social

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

Vitamins won’t cure cancer. The court needs aggressive chemotherapy: major institutional change. Its members must be representative. That requires expanding the court to reflect today’s partisan & demographic balances, plus term limits that don’t make the court rulings dependent on a heart attack.

AC’s just a heat pump and heat pumps are crazy efficient. They just aren’t the climate boogie man people make them out to be. There are environmental impacts related to the use and production of refrigerants, but the added environmental carbon from operating AC is not the big deal people think it is

like all right-thinking people, Tom V (may he rest in peace) had Slint and the Elevators in his personal collection

the court must be expanded if we wish to continue to live in a multiracial democracy with a constitutionally-limited executive and a state that still effectively has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

just made-up ritual magick all the way down

pitch: Muppet 'Control,' where everyone but Sam Riley as Ian Curtis is a Muppet

Gonna tell friends who show up at my door that they have not arrived for the party and that I’m real mad about it.

One of the modern Supreme Court's very unhealthy practices is that, in order to reach the outcome they want based on their partisanship and ideology, they pretend words mean whatever they want them to mean. Constitutional words need to mean what most of the American people think they mean.

"But I'm a good leftist" I insist as I become so edgelord-poisoned my posts are indistinguishable from 4chan and I turn into a corncob.

To make this obvious: I WANT more left-wing politicians to win real political power. I also believe it is our profound moral obligation to rebuild and improve the U.S. aid system. Therefore, I am going to be vocal about why I hate seeing leftists hold cruel, brain-dead opinions about aid.

"An earthquake left a trail of destruction in Caracas, Venezuela, toppling buildings, destroying streets, damaging electrical infrastructure and triggering a tsunami warning in the Caribbean."

The Trump admin has an almost-complete failure rate at efforts to punish sanctuary jurisdictions. There are only a small handful of exceptions across both terms. Courts are clear: these policies are legal.
