As early-career colleagues start thinking about autumn job applications, I wrote a piece describing my post-PhD path. Reflecting on "project," "person," and "place" with mentors helped me immensely, so I hope this note pays it forward somehow. www.wlallen.com/wp-content/u...

This is telling about Starmer: he meant to say something positive ('walk forward together as neighbours') but could only seem to think to phrase it negatively (against being an 'island of strangers').

Not even one of the most successful managers in the world, in post for just 6 months and with a 75% win rate, can avoid the English desire to relentlessly criticise national managers.

A problem in social science is too many theories underdetermined by (too few) novel rigorous tests. I like the @ajpseditor.bsky.social statement, but the «novel» theory+empirics req. exacerbates this serious threat to knowledge cumulation.

Main takeaway from the other side of ~100 first year undergraduate essays: we must ban all mention of the phrase 'identity politics'. Cast it into Mount Doom. Put it in a lead box and drop it into the South Pacific.
