We won!
(Though this Commonwealth Court opinion can be appealed - we'll see what our AG does.)
This is how we get Ai grading of Ai papers.
Who at APSA is covering these Iranian Lego propaganda videos? I need to attend that panel.
This is an amazing postdoc opportunity, and I wish more colleges would offer something like this, but Fisk is pretty special.

More public engagement scholarship. I'm part of @scholars.org and they are great for translating my research to policymakers. APSA needs to be shouting at everyone why political science is relevant - which may require us to figure that out ourselves first.
This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results.

Blood all over this guy's hands. An awful, opportunistic, demonstrably flawed neo-Malthusian take that fueled generations of Polite Eugenics because "There are too many people!" is an argument inseparable from a follow-up conversation about *which* people are too numerous.
Bro is the least butch in government, I bet he doesn't even make his wife tea or shovel the drive way.

But now I kinda want to see it to experience the bad.
One of the best ethnographies I've ever read and such an inspiration for my research. I've gifted several copies.
This is how white nationalism undermines very basic thinking.
I interned in a state Medicaid/Medicare audit unit. The idea that states do not do this already is absurd and is only justified if you are incensed that non-white people receive equal benefits that they are entitled to under the law.

They sang American Idiot, we have such a low level of political literacy.
I have things that I'm putting off until after Mardi Gras.
I feel like I really live here now.
