In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.

1. Just reviewed a manuscript for a CJ journal that was, I am 99% certain, AI generated. The writing was grammatically correct yet clunky and awk. IRB state assurance was wedged into the data analysis section. Bold statements "no study has ever done the thing..." yet vague on details.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

I saw somewhere that DC has now gone a week without a homicide which, for context, is the 7th time DC has gone 7+ days without a homicide so far this year (longest stretch was 17 days).

Some days are wonderful. Other days make me wonder. Sighted on campus.

I will share this with my incoming cohort of grad students in August, as part of our discussion of stress and wellbeing.

Crime in America spiked with the COVID-19 pandemic, then plummeted. Here are four reasons why. open.substack.com/pub/johnkrom...

The African American History museum is incredible. I highly recommend anyone go see it. It’s a powerful look at the history of a group of people that have a large and often overlooked, and hidden impact on American history.

Treefort Musicfest was outstanding this year! Excellent bands, good food, a frickin' giant lit mammoth, chill crowds, and great people watching. Two high points were seeing Fleeting Confidence (a hot trio), and one of my favs, Lunar Vacation.

Illuminating thread on women's involvement in early prevocational English policing. Yes, a woman served as a Shire Reeve (sheriff).

Attended the rally at the Idaho State House this morning. Great energy, great speakers, and the best signs. Hafta admit, this sign had me feeling a little triggered until @lblogic.bsky.social explained it wasn't referring to me. Phew.

I am back. Running. Finally recovered to the point of regular, semi-long runs.

👋 Hi! We are Boise Kitchen Collective — a mutual aid group that gets warm food, treats and supplies into the hands of anyone who needs it.

I have a piece half-done on the entire world of indirect costs. It's too big an endeavor to finish now, in the middle of the night, when this problem *that was always a live grenade with a half-pulled pin* is suddenly a topic du jour. Shit of a thing. Here are some highlights.

Happy Black History month!!

Federal District Judge Loren L. AliKhan issues a temporary administrative stay on the "pause on disbursement of federal funds on all open awards" until Monday, Feb. 3 at 5 pm She says this administrative stay applies "just those grants that are open and affected by OMB’s order."

For today, Exene Cervenka and the band X's "Country at War" seems appropriate.

This morning, legislators introduced a bill that would eliminate Idaho’s entire Medicaid Expansion program, stripping healthcare coverage from nearly 100K Idahoans. Soon we’ll need you to show up to a public hearing (date/time TBA). In the meantime, here are 4 reasons to protect Medicaid Expansion.

Cheryl Waters spinning the midday show on KEXP is just perfect. Perfect. #KEXP

1. Robert H. Langworthy passed away on Nov. 25, 2024. Bob was best known for his pioneering work on quantifying police organizational structure (1986), and his work (with John Crank) applying institutional org theory to police agencies (1992). Bob's career took him from the USAF, to a degree in...

Since many researchers are here now, I want to draw attention to a publishing opportunity. Special issue of the Sage journal, Inquiry, focused on violence prevention strategies that leverage community-level mechanisms. Deadline is Jan 11 & I can answer questions. journals.sagepub.com/topic/collec...

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents. Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Stormie says stop scrolling and go to bed. Goodnight everyone.

Excited to spend time at #ASC in SF with @lblogic.bsky.social and @crimdocbrown.bsky.social. It's always enlightening conversation and a little laughter with two old friends.

My wife says this is her favorite photo of me. It captures a lot, from a time when we were dating long distance. So I think it's a good intro to Bluesky.
