Taking sage advice of @unlawfulentries.bsky.social I’m posting cover of forthcoming book Dark Concrete: Black Power Urbanism and the American Metropolis

Interesting read on schisms, but I thought we were well past calling WF a 'healthy' store. It's a high-end(ish) chain with mass produced organic products. There's a place for that + I'd rather see it than McDonalds. But 'healthy' is not my first (or second) thought. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/d...

Why do rustbelts vote radical right? Studying the German Ruhr area, @nilsblossey.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social and I show: it’s not just about deindustrialization, but also about the original industrialization. Where coal is buried deeper and mining started later, the AfD is stronger today 1/12

The real danger of MAGA lies not in Trump but in Vought: a zealous Christian nationalist with an encyclopedic knowledge of government bureaucracy who's willing (even happy) to hide in the shadows while directing any glad-hand who wants to focus on winning votes. www.propublica.org/article/russ...

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social! Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan: 🧵⬇️

Even in Denmark, cultural tastes are socially stratified. With some quite cool library data we find strong gradients by education and wealth - important as wealth is rarely studied in cultural stratification research doi.org/10.1093/esr/... OA: osf.io/ar2xc_v2/dow... @europeansocreview.bsky.social

Tremendous research from Daniel Byman and Riley McCabe finds that "2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks outnumber those from the violent far right." But don't miss the broader picture — depicted in the below graph... www.csis.org/analysis/lef...

Enough of the BS. It's not a 'crackdown' on academia. You 'crackdown' on criminals and villains. It's a wild assault and a desperate power grab. And that shouldn't be hard to say, regardless of ideological preferences. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/o...

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

You would think that we are well past Peak Matcha. But I keep seeing new ‘grand openings’. And since it’s Nyc, they all start with long lines…

The youth sports industrial complex is fueled by the promise that, if kids push themselves to reach their full athletic potential, they could get a ticket to a life inaccessible otherwise. It's a promise that's appealing in a highly unequal society, but it sets up a whole lot of kids to fail.
