Pamela Paul is out on the NYT opinion page! In her honor, re-upping this piece, which typified her approach - a lack of substantive knowledge of the topic, faux intellectualism combined with a tabloid desire to solicit outrage. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Snap elections in Iceland 🇮🇸 today. I was pleased that my problem this cycle was too many parties that I wanted to vote for rather than not a single one to be excited about. Lots of uncertainty about who will win and which parties will make it into parliament make for an exciting election night!

So many excellent people on here to follow!

Looking for textbook recs for MA-level Intro to Public Administration. Specifically, I am trying to find a good book with comparative focus (i.e. not just US admin). Esp. helpful if there is some disc. of Nordics, but happy for any and all recs! polisky & pasky & academicsky Thx! 🙏

Me right now. Also me every time there is an assignment. The fact that it is 100% self-inflicted also does not help.

Two R&Rs on one Friday afternoon? I’ll take it! 🥳

Hvernig má vera að þetta verklag teljist í lagi? Það er ótrúlegt að spítali geti fengið leyfi til að afhenda persónuupplýsingar um þjónustuþega án þess að þeirra samþykki liggi skýrt fyrir. www.ruv.is/frettir/innl...

Fascinating stuff. As someone who once lived on a block now identified by five different names, only two of which I ever remember hearing, I hope the NYT (or someone) does this again in 10 years to see how much has changed.

Women's strike in Iceland today to protest gender inequality. Schools, day cares, swimming pools, libraries, banks, all closed due to lack of staff. Police believe 70-100 thousand people showed up for protest meeting in downtown Reykjavík today. (Note: pop of Iceland is around 375 thou.) gendersky

10 days to apply to become Assistant Professor in (1) European security or (2) international institutions at our Faculty in Maastricht. Two nice permanent jobs

I might soon pick up Intro to Public Admin for MPAs. Never taught or TAed it myself. If anyone has a recent syllabus or favorite textbook to share I would love to hear about it. Class taught outside the US so focus on more than US inst most welcome as well. Thanks in advance! Policysky

How is it October already? What happened to Jan-Sep?! I think I would remember if they had happened… 🧐😱

I wonder what percentage you would have to go down to for Iceland to register in _any_ of these spice categories...

Hi! I’m on a book award committee for the conflict processes section of APSA. Send in your nominations!

There are worse views to be had from the office. This means that the rest of the semester will be lucky, right?

Ég er ekki með marga vini hér á Bláhimni ennþá en prufa að setja þetta hér inn þrátt fyrir það ❤️ Alexöndruróló er róló í Vogabyggð til minningar um dóttur mína Alexöndru Eldey og er nú í kosningu í verkefninu Hverfið mitt hjá Reykjavíkurborg. Innilega þakklát fyrir atkvæði, deilingar og stuðning ❤️

Cutting text from a paper for length (fourth iteration) is a strong contender for the worst part of my job. There is no more fat left to trim, it's all things I want to keep at this point! 😫🌐

Apparently 11th grade physics is where I have to tap out of helping. Probably actually 10th grade but I could fake it a bit better. Absorption and emissions spectra what?

Anyone on Polisky have recs for textbooks for background reading in a class on International Organizations (MA-level)? I have some ideas, but would love to learn what you are using! Would be ideal if focus was more on the orgs themselves than generally on global governance, but open to everything!

Why would my institution close half its parking lot for an event and not tell anyone ahead of time? Surely, it can’t *only* be to distract me from work as I stare out at the mayhem…

Excited to finally be here!
