I'm sure I'll take shit for saying this, but this passage from Glenn Loury's Chronicle interview perfectly captures for me the civilizational necessity of a relatively autonomous academic sphere. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

absolutely begging everyone to be explicit about when they are arguing the merits of a proposal vs when they are arguing its politics

Even if the courts make the administration back off it feels, much like tariffs, like the damage is already done here. It’s much harder to agree to a very expensive, multi-year investment in your education if you also have to worry that it could get interrupted at any moment by the government.

this is turning a real thing (Medicaid does take on the costs of emergency care for undocumented immigrants in limited cases) into a fake thing (this is less than half a percent of Medicaid spending www.kff.org/quick-take/l...)

"I propose an alternate strategy: I shall fight Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon in a televised cage match, the winner of which gets $2.7 billion in federal grants and the power to uphold or destroy America’s continued technological and economic success." www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

How has digital media transformed authoritarian propaganda? In our new @ajpseditor.bsky.social‬ paper with Yingdan Lu, Jennifer Pan & ‪@yiqingxu.bsky.social‬, we proposed a *decentralized propaganda* model and empirically demonstrate its existence on Douyin: doi.org/10.1111/ajps... 🧵

If we stop calling these “grants” and start calling them “contracts,” it’s clearer to people why this is such an abuse of power. This wasn’t a bunch of gifts. This was a bunch of binding contracts between researchers and the US govt for specific agreed upon projects.

I maintain that ~50% of the negative experience people get from Bluesky’s most annoying users — and its corresponding reputation — could be fixed by the platform making notifications only from people you follow the default setting.

Happy to see that this is now out. The R package associated with the project, IRTM, can now be found on CRAN. Or can you still download it from my github. We'll continue to update it over time. This is a brief thread about what IRTM can do. 🧵 (1/7)

Polls can exaggerate partisan bias in fact-opinion discernment — even if the toplines are about right. New in Public Opinion Quarterly (gift link): academic.oup.com/poq/advance-... @poqjournal.bsky.social

One thought I’ve had that might work is for megadonors to intervene through the streamer ad market and pay above-market rates for essentially PSAs. Getting creators to rely less on scam economy sponsorship is a good long-term media investment.

to put finer point on this: one reason why you can't buy yourself a liberal Joe Rogan is that politics is incidental to his show. it's mostly about other stuff (here politics score uses episode descriptions, so it misses politics coming up organically on other episodes, but still) osf.io/gbkn5

I think stuff like this fundamentally misunderstands how and why Joe Rogan became ~Joe Rogan™~

our nation’s top health officials either believe or are responsive to people who believe that science funding in this country is mostly microchips in vaccines, reverse racism, and abolishing gender. they seem genuinely surprised to find out that funding cuts mostly hit stuff like trying to cure ALS

I think the answer to this question might just be yes. Assuming nonresponse with Trump on the ballot and fudging a couple points in that direction is neither scientific nor simply dumb luck.

The NIH Director continues to misunderstand (or mischaracterize) the extent to which research is being gutted. I appreciate this program officer for speaking up.

Wild how “Substack” has become a generic term for “newsletter”, eg in this item from @semaforben.bsky.social
