The same Ipsos poll finds that younger generations of men are more likely than older men to agree that efforts toward gender equality have gone too far and are hurting men.

As an editor, handling comments is onerous. Not always but often, each side is so partisan that you can't take what they say at face value + you have to get into the weeds. This walkthrough by @michaelwiebe.bsky.social is a great way to make the crux of a comment clearer to reviewers and editors.

I really should have written Germ-ans

I assumed it was Oregunian and it was one of those weird things like Glaswegians, but googling, it's Oregonians so I guess that was intended as a pun. Not feelin' it, but who am I to talk.

Good reminder that an upside of little traction is not having to deal with unwanted, missing-the-point replies

Yeah, I accept that: If a joke needs to be explained, it's not well-constructed. It has funny potential but isn't funny.

You're way below trend for 2025 so far. Good to know!

why are there deaths but not cases in recent years? it's just the different scales of those two outcomes and what triggers being a gray bar instead of white?

The impact factor for AEJ Applied (which I love!) is 5.5 vs 8.1 for AER:I. Sharing this for the surprisingly many people who view publishing their paper in AEJ Applied as more desirable than publishing it in AER:I. ooir.org/j.php?issn=1...

there should be a feature that shows you the posts that you would have missed in the last day, say, under this muting. it's hard to anticipate the false positive! (But I still expect it was a good decision for me to mute "Hunter"...)

I was puzzled why the post you were quote-posting was muted. What other good hunter-gatherer content have I missed out on by muting "Hunter"?? (I've now lifted that ban (for now).)

Thanks, this indeed seems on point (though I had in mind sampling only some policy holders and this seems to be sampling within the policy holder/insurance unity). btw, the "experiment" in "crop cutting experiment" is ill-chosen. I looked up what CCEs are; never would have guessed based on the name.
