Heartbreak, every damn year.

Would appreciate a nomination please. Would do it myself but I lack the spine

When you’ve been supporting African football for so long, the pain is baked in

Find yourself a captain like Martin Ødegaard oh wait 🟥⬜

5 out of 9 reviewers liked my paper but apparently that’s not “good enough” for the editor

Just seen 500 posts telling people not to treat the 5-4 birthright ruling as a sweeping victory and approximately 1 post treating it as a sweeping victory Social media is terrible

Annual reminder that constitutional jurisprudence is just high school debating dressed up in funny robes (and possibly a wig, depending)

Arsenal front line saving the established nations tonight

this is quite hilarious but also is Dr Oz slowly transforming into Pete Hegseth?

The simple truth is that @drlisadcook.bsky.social's position on our Federal Reserve Board should never have been threatened, the smear campaign against her is a filthy lie, and what is needed is not just protection for her job, but accountability for the people who tried to illegally remove her.

SCOTUS has just ruled that the APSR editorial team can REJECT papers submitted by ANY author except papers by ME due to my “unique role." Huge ruling, very important implications for both the fact of independence but also the appearance of independence in my research agenda. Grateful.

My department at @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social is advertising 3 Tenure-Track AP positions in Political Science and 2 Teaching positions. The department is nice, non-toxic, and in good financial shape (which is not a given these days, in the UK or elsewhere): warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G...

When will Renee Good's killer, Jonathan Ross, be charged with her murder? Where are Alex Pretti's killers, Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez? Who killed Ruben Ray Martinez? Who killed Silverio Villegas González?

I greatly appreciate the many Conservative Republicans with the wisdom and character to speak obvious truths about drastically anti-American policy.

Ossoff is a good communicator but why does this video have the aesthetic feel of a clip from an early Superman movie

I for one am glad we have a totally honest and trustworthy anti-war dove who is great at making amazing the best ever deals in the White House

Interesting stuff

Sort of wish I hadn’t read this. What a truly sick thing to do to someone. Sick sick stuff. I hope there is some justice that follows this.

You’ve AC’d your last DC

Culversgate is maybe the most bluesky-coded thing I’ve ever seen

🗣️ Published today in @aeajournals.bsky.social. Ethan Lewis and I use a visa lottery, as a nationwide randomized experiment, to test the effects of foreign labor on US firms and workers. doi.org/10.1257/app.... A concise summary from @nber.org —> www.nber.org/digest/20221...

Starting now!

TPS was a mess of a situation, and in reality SCOTUS was maybe "right" on the merits (I use scare quotes because SCOTUS has lost any right to be called anything approximating neutral or non-partisan). But the total inhumane, empathy-less, fear-mongering, hatred out of Trumposphere is astonishing.

Make sure to register to join us in a few hours -- sure to be a good conversation.

PEPFAR was a historic Conservative Republican triumph of the GW Bush administration. It has saved tens of millions of lives. It is one of the best things America ever did. Destroying it stains all of us, further. Every Conservative, every Liberal, every American. Numb vandalism.

Tomorrow I will co-moderate a panel on AI use in grad school with @aricaschuett.bsky.social, who has put together a superb panel: @yiqingxu.bsky.social Rachel Gillum @yamilrvelez.bsky.social @lpargyle.bsky.social Grad students (& others) should tune in! Register: connect.apsanet.org/graduate/

There are two season in London: The one where I wear my winter clothes around my freezing victorian terrace, and the one where I hang my winter clothes over the curtain rods to try block out the 22 hours of daylight.

The University of Exeter is not in budget deficit. Yet are proposing to cut 150 academic jobs. This include my job. Please sign and share the petition, write our Vice Chancellor, to your MP, and get the word out about the act of self harm this university is about to commit. c.org/yKcx6Zr29H

Strikes me you have two options here: 1. Cool the buildings 2. Cool the outside I think the ship may have sailed on (2).

yes it can

BAFANA!!!!!

ofc the original ought to have been called watergategate

The anti American illiberalism of this is disturbing, but really the worst thing about it is what an incredible waste of EVERYONE’s time and money it is. We gain nothing as a country, we just waste money, energy, time, and good will in pursuit of one little man’s ego.

That penalty non call against Konsa is scandalous

Arsenal win things

It is quite hot

Slides from recent talks and courses on a bunch of topics: macartan.github.io/teaching/sli... replication, experimental design, survey experiments mixed methods... human shields, community driven reconstruction, school sorting, crises, selection and incentives...

I think what IU Bloomington needs is an institute of free speech dedicated to protecting free academic discourse and diverse opinions and perspectives

As someone who grew up outside the USA the GRE/SAT debate always makes me laugh. Pro-GRE/SAT ppl are like "WITHOUT THESE TESTS ALL IS LOST" Anti-GRE/SAT ppl are like "THESE TESTS ARE DEEPLY UNFAIR AND EVIL" Reality is it's ok but v weird to delegate basic educational testing to a private company.

This but the voters shit the bed too.

London is treating its sleeping denizens to the most spectacular 4am lightning storm… A harbinger of things to come. The sky was angry that day, my friends.

yes messi is quite good at football but he has never published in the apsr, checkmate

Agree with this take. Review is a vital part of the scientific enterprise. That's why I keep beating the "de-anonymize" peer review drum -- otherwise we can't reward people for being good reviewers.

Considering changing my LinkedIn bio to “Angel Investor x Crypto AI” to see what kind of strange messages I get

SSRN undefeated

Just watched the second half of Belgium vs. Iran, and was absolutely convinced it was 1-0 to Iran the whole time. I'm very attentive and perceptive.

An academic journal just directed me to delete the word ‘elderly’ from a manuscript. They consider it ‘dehumanizing’. I wish that people of good heart who care about harm in the world could focus their scarce resources on the vast material harms all around us, instead of bottomless purity-policing.
