“He dicho en otro contexto que es una desventaja del «largo plazo» que, a largo plazo, todos estaremos muertos. Pero podría haber dicho igualmente que es una gran ventaja del «corto plazo» que, en el corto plazo, todavía estamos vivos. La vida y la historia están hechas de cortos plazos”

A map showing the international origins of billionaires residing in London.
A map showing the domestic origins of billionaires residing in Beijing.
For example: how do elite origins vary across countries (or within)? Compare the international origins of London’s billionaires, for example, with the mostly domestic origins of Beijing or Munich’s billionaires by clicking on each city. 2/5
Does the gender and sexual identity shape public support for prospective judges?

After nearly a decade measuring American public support for political violence, @nathankalmoe.bsky.social and I have published a somewhat comprehensive guide to measuring these attitudes. This includes historical comparisons and responses to common critiques. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

The war on Iran is causing gas and oil price explosions.
Our research shows: Fossil fuel prices are the most important prices for inflation and inequality. Energy price shocks are redistribution shocks. The poorer you are, the larger the share of income you spend on essentials.

The medical community had this debate in the 2000's specifically because of the abusive practices of patholigizing effeminate behavior of cis boys. They updated the DSM-V in 2013 specifically to add in a persistent strong desire to be treated as a different gender, not just gender non-conformity.
New from Picketty's lab: The world can raise incomes toward global equity & stabilize the climate under "under very strict conditions"
—reduction of work hours

Far-right authoritarian tactics to socially marginalize, intimidate, and disenfranchise a group. The oppression of one group signals to others you could be next. This goes far beyond bigotry. The authoritarian playbook enabled and empowered by anti-trans and anti-woke actors.
Easily one of the top charts of all time
today I learned that the left and the right are equally responsible for "carceral sanism" which is definitely what creates the conditions of bare life in which people are experiencing mental health crisis in a subway car
Absolutely deranged folks.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.
I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it
The Spanish Conservative Party in Extremadura just aligned itself with the gender theses of the radical right, while presenting Catalan independentists across the political spectrum as far-right and an "humiliation" for the rest of Spaniards. Political enemy doctrine and backlash against progress.
This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
“Scholarly attention has rightly focused on the forced reproduction of enslaved Black women, but that focus need not come at the expense of understanding the position of enslaved Black men, who were also denied sexual autonomy, including the ability to choose with whom they would have children.”
Interesting: "Findings suggest that the left-right political orientation of journalists affects the use of subjectivity in reporting and political party composition, but in the opposite direction [from what was expected]: [Left-leaning] journalists seem to overcompensate for their individual views."
