Flawless game from Spain.

What explains the dramatic rise and fall of corporate commitments to DEI? In a new paper, co-authored with @nolanmc.bsky.social, we analyze the text of 1,694,664 securities disclosures for 15,105 publicly traded companies to understand the political forces behind these developments.

Haaland. Just historical.

I really enjoyed watching this short documentary about EuQu an ERC project of CSIC; the University of Naples L’Orientale (UNO); the University of Copenhagen and the University of Nantes (UN). The European Research Council should force every team to make a short documentary haha.

Lets go Morocco!!

A lot of interesting results in the NY primaries.

If I'm the SNP I would be all over this.

As a Libyan I support both Mexico and South Africa!

Damn I was for the Spurs, but OG and Brunson deserve it at this point.

Omar Abdulkadir Artan est un arbitre réputé en Afrique. Mais les Etats-Unis lui disent non et que fait la Fifa ? Elle ferme les yeux (et baisse son froc). Elle aurait pu se battre, le défendre, au moins faire semblant... Elle a préféré publier un communiqué bidon. ➡️ https://l.liberation.fr/UIb

Member states and the European Parliament have struck a deal on the Return Regulation to build deportation camps (aka return hubs) in faraway countries. It’s a turning point for migration policy. The EU migration enters uncharted territory.

Paris still leading Europe

Fun paper in the American Economic Review: Friendship Networks and Political Opinions We examine how social interactions and friendships shape students' political opinions in a natural experiment at Sciences Po, a leading French university specializing in social and political sciences.

Excited to announce that my paper "Socioeconomic development and the uneven legacies of authoritarian repression" has been published at the Journal of Historical Political Economy. This grew out of my second year ("591") PhD paper. www.emerald.com/jhpe/article...

1/ New @Nature! We study how powerful institutions shape the information environment for LLMs. Commercial LLM training is opaque, so we trace a path from state-coordinated media -> training data -> model responses.

Walter Benjamin aspired to be “the foremost critic of German literature,” but his real talent was for grasping the richness and complexity of vernacular culture. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/bLegNI

Deeply wrong, and we show, unpopular. We find strong SUPPORT for allied migrants. Support cuts across parties and moves both public (US and UK) and local/state elites. Allyship abroad generates strong support for resettlement at home. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

What a weird reality we live in.

Thrilled that this is out at the APSR! 😀 I document how male elites creatively adapt to electoral reform in Indian village councils. Relevant for how we think about: 1) limits of reforms meant to equalize power, 2) (male) elite capture, 3) the "proxy" representative debate. A (late) 🧵

While many critics view rising global chaos strictly in geopolitical terms, political philosopher Lea Ypi argues that it’s really ideological — the result of an increasingly coordinated global right. To compete, the Left must internationalize in equal measure.

The end of Viktor Orbán’s ‘Hungarian model’? New data show why Orbán’s Fidesz party finally fell after 16 years in power. Read the latest from @grigopop.bsky.social here: goodauthority.org/news/the-end...

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Never understood paying anything above $2€ for pasta sauce. A can of tomatoes in a blender and then cook in a pan with some tomato paste and olive oil will make you a sauce superior than this.

Great cover by Libé! The 3 largest cities in France have elected a Socialist or Green mayor. All have a strong mandate for continuing their progressive agendas. Marseille is more dynamic than ever, Paris is leading the world in urbanization, and Lyon is reversing historic inequalities. Very happy

Really surprising exit poll in Lyon, it was assumed that Aulas would have roughly 45% and Doucet in the low 30%. Great evening for the left imho.

Exceptional score by Olivier Grégoire in Paris. I was expecting him to overperform polling that was way too generous with Dati. Almost certain that Paris will have it's third left-leaning mayor in a row. A first for the capital & one of few major cities to be governed by left leaders for 30 years.

Perpignan, the largest city with a far-right mayor, Louis Aliot just won a first round re-election with 51,4%. Up from 35,65% first round score in 2020. It seems voters enjoy their far-right local mayors.

The city’s transition away from the car, though fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model, says Simon Kuper: ft.trib.al/CWZvaG8

My latest for ISPI explores how LAAF-RSF cooperation is transforming logistics & border corridors' governance into geopolitical currency in the competition between Saudi Arabia & the UAE - playing out across the Horn, Sudan, Libya & Chad.

What a depressing event. Outrageous how incompetent this authoritarian regime is.

My coach!!!

Great piece by Anas El Gomati.

Impressive lack of a personality once again from Starmer.

Not surprised that bad political scientists can't win races.

Very surprising polling by Ifop.

ICE unlawfully arrested & detained Rümeysa Öztürk after she co-wrote a pro-Palestinian op-ed as a PhD student. Her recent op-ed reveals the trauma she faced. Cases like this led the AAUP to sue the Trump admin in AAUP v. Rubio. We won the lawsuit & protections for non-citizen students & faculty.
