There is a common narrative that the pandemic immediately fractured society.
But our data tells a different story.
In our new article in Political Studies Review, we track the timeline of polarization in Czechia.🧵

We are happy to release the Paths to Power Dashboard. It is the perfect tool for politics nerds!
You can find it here: ptp.isv.sv.uio.no/ptp/
It allows you to explore governments from 1966-2021 using the PtP and WhoGov datasets. See examples below.

TikTok's new ownership's ties to Trump are a huge problem. It needn't turn into the fascist hell that is X: it's enough that immigration-related content becomes 10% more viral and cost-of-living-related content becomes 10% less viral in an election year. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/b...
My paper is out in Public Opinion Quarterly!

It’s a single-authored literature review on political stereotypes and projection: much more than just latte-liberals and bird-hunting conservatives.
It’s one of the works I’m proudest of. Hope you like it!

People who want redistribution are often dismissed as being driven by an ugly emotion: envy.
Our new paper in #PSPB challenges this widespread narrative.
We show that support for redistribution is less driven by envy and more by the belief that the rich do not deserve their advantage. 🧵⬇️

Excited to *really* start working on the SOCIOVOTE project with these brilliant researchers! During the next four years @vojtechpohanka.bsky.social, @wannesdemeyer.bsky.social and I will be collecting lots of data to improve our understanding of the role of social groups in politics!
Congratulations on the new paper... Important work!
