this is actually just a cut scene from white lotus

new from @washingtonpost.com on the ridiculous H1b situation in india that barely any other media is covering. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

inspired by immigration woes and limited time, i just booked an impulse trip to hike in patagonia 🏔️ 🦙 send me your best recommendations!!!!

US consulates abroad are cancelling / postponing h1b visa appointments for months without any notice. several friends i know who went to india for a routine stamping are now indefinitely stuck there. almost every conversation i have is about making plans to leave the US for good 😥

hi polisci friends! has anyone here recently run a conjoint experiment on surveyCTO? our programmer is having problems and could use some advice, ty!!

every once in a while the NY times will put out an insane investigative piece that will captivate and engulf your sunday and will make you briefly forgive them for the nonsense of the past. this is today's: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

incredible content from my phd granting institution

after 3 years of dealing with long covid bs my lungs can finally tolerate consistent running again 🥹

the US State Department is instructing its staff to deny visas to those engaged in activities like combatting misinformation, disinformation or false narratives, fact-checking, content moderation, compliance, and trust and safety www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

bryce harper is going to miss the 2026 baseball season due to worms 🪱

crisp winter morning rotation ❄️🎶

every day brings fresh stress and sadness for people in the US on an H1B. in my > 10 years of being in this country i’ve never felt so much anxiety and lack of institutional support over immigration issues as in this moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

doordashed a hoagie and it came to me from delaware. i live in dc. this should be illegal but im not complaining 🥰

How effective are user corrections on social media, and does adding a link to a fact check improve effectiveness? In piece led by @sachaltay.bsky.social we find corrections have small effects, adding a fact-check unlikely to make them more effective misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu/article/the-... 1/6

i don’t think we talk enough about how american academia is more productive than literally anywhere else because we do not use microsoft teams

ty to APSA experiments section for this year’s best paper award!!

how can you not love baseball

celebrated the end of a beautiful era of phillies baseball last night with a bunch of homemade pasta, good wine, and even better company ❤️‍🩹 i’m not crying

🚨🚨 Some hope: media and information literacy trainings - modules providing crucial skills to better consume information - in classroom settings appears to move the needle, and to have positive externalities! Check out the (open-access) results of our large field-experiment in India.

it’s the end of a pretty good era of phillies baseball. time to relax :)

i miss the person that i was on friday. happy. confident. unbroken by philadelphia sports

LFG PHILLIES!!!!!!

it’s RED OCTOBER folks 🔥

good morning

phillies scrimmage. almost 5,000 more than the actual playoff game in cleveland today ♥️

doing this when your main hobby and interest is philadelphia sports means that professional colleagues get to see a very suicidal side of you

eagles win. phillies win. mets are out. 4-0 birds. red october coming up. all of the rest of sunday to look forward to. what a weekend 🍻

nice mention of our survey data on indian americans in yesterday’s @nytimes.com piece on mamdani and south asian voters! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/n...

red october is coming so sorry in advance to my bluesky friends as i will probably post a version of this every other day

🚨 new paper out w/ @simonchauchard.bsky.social in BJPS @bjpols.bsky.social on the link between misinformation and religiosity- does religious belief cause people to endorse more misinformation? And if so, what can we do about it? thread below ⬇️

i just got back from a hiking trip and went down a photo rabbit hole and now i want nothing more than to be back on the road again not built for academia, not built to lock in
