(As a side note, it is quite clear that these websites are spun up quickly with Claude. This lowers the bar to spin-up professional websites with clear messaging which can help resource constrained activism.)
I don't think the government fully comprehends how bad this is if you want to be internationally competitive. Having a bunch of working highly educated immigrants telling others not to move to Sweden will hurt Sweden in the long run.

The current processing time for a citizenship application in Sweden is 47 months. The government wants to apply new citizenship requirements to people who applied for citizenship years ago but are still waiting.

Just 🔥🔥🔥 from @davidjbier.bsky.social - incredible work by the principled libertarians at @cato.org
I am sure it varies wildly by discipline, but I haven not met anyone IRL doing quantitative political science that is strongly against using AI.
Just back from an incredible two days at the NYU CESS Experimental Political Science conference! 🎓
Happy to share that my poster, "Do Wartime Casualties Affect Support for the Autocrat? Evidence from Russia," won the Rebecca Morton Poster Prize !
The Swedish Liberal Party wants to ban ugly school buildings.
There is a tension in the right in Sweden right now, with more and more conservative politicians calling for a return to "classic architecture" which of course requires more state regulation.

There is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the hills above Florence -- not one he designed -- just one he rented for a summer.

Pooh meme: bored, I don't know anything about this... smug: this is beyond the scope of the paper
editing some writing atm...
Wild that the top sociology journal doesn't require computational replication or open data.
Tajfel et al. (1971) is the go to source in political behavior when introducing social identity theory (SIT). One of the main contributions of that text is that mere artificial group categorization results in discrimination. This is mostly ignored in political behavior research using SIT.

My favorite Stockholm NIMBY clip is Christofer Fjellner acting like a single family home lot being converted into three townhouses is like building the Burj Khalifa in Mälarhöjden.

The Social Democrats should just mandate that all rental housing is built in "turn of the century style to encourage virtue" or whatever, just to see what happens with the opposition.
One more example, from a conservative MP, looking for architectural inspiration from Pensacola, Florida.

📢 New in IMR. We often ask whether #refugees “integrate.” But what happens when the host society becomes hostile? I develop the concept of social marginalization and show that refugees in more #violent German counties report stronger feelings of exclusion and discrimination. doi.org/10.1177/0197...
