I have a question: real not rhetorical. Why do so many people/families watch American football? Uncontested research reveals horrifying % of players who develop Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy due to head trauma; countless lives are ruined. Why are fans comfortable enabling this? Serious question.

Tonight, I re-listened to Laleh Behbehanian interview Michael Burawoy, as part of "Journeys Through Sociology", from 2011. This is a remarkable half hour. He left an immense mark on sociology and beyond. RIP. www.google.com/search?clien...

PAA & the Association of Population Centers call for re-opening access to crucial #data, to enable research on health and wellbeing. Blocking these data is nonsensical. We researchers must not surrender. This is a time to make good trouble. @stone-lis.bsky.social @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

I thought this leaked memo was from The Onion, but no, the AP verifies it. "The memo’s authenticity was confirmed by a U.S. official..." Most immediately, given that it starts tomorrow, I'd like to know why DIA officials find Black History Month to be unacceptable. That said, I think I know.

Recently (incl today) four journalists have asked me to explain why the % of US children living in single-parent families has skyrocketed. But ... it hasn't. What is real is the US’ cross-nationally high poverty rates but that's a different story. Chart from LIS Key Figures. @stone-lis.bsky.social

It's holiday eve in NYC, a city beloved by many, tough for some, sanctuary for others. Now 2025 is upon us. It's impossible to imagine what the new year holds. What I do know is that we, in the US, must hold our leaders accountable. Countless lives here and around the world depend on it. #ceasefire

"People are asking" so I'll reply. No, Paul Krugman is not leaving NYC, CUNY, the Grad Center, or the Stone Center. He remains in our CUNY community! Paul, your friends at the Stone Center wish you the best as you sail into (some) new waters. 🍷 @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social @stone-lis.bsky.social
