This is a cool approach. Do you have a sense of the general types of actors people are choosing? Elected officials, media figures, etc?

For those interested in measuring political violence, check out Lily and Nathan's new review paper below. See also my forthcoming paper at POQ (w/ @llopez.bsky.social and Lucas Lothamer) introducing our own measure scottaclifford.com/wp-content/u...
Sorry about that! This should work: drive.google.com/file/d/1uslj...
A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost
After nearly a decade measuring American public support for political violence, @nathankalmoe.bsky.social and I have published a somewhat comprehensive guide to measuring these attitudes. This includes historical comparisons and responses to common critiques. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...
The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
My favorite thing is when Diana Mutz goes on sabbatical and writes something wacky
She had moved on to writing about the Trump/Voldemort connection: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Is there anything more disgusting than war? Yes...ghouls making hundreds of thousands of $$$ betting on when bombs will blow up girls schools of hospitals.
What's worse about Polymarket, Kalshi, etc. - the immorality, or the insider trading? Ban them!

Oh no
When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...
Sign up for my GRWM video where I spill the tea on Angus Campbell’s INSANE lunch order!!!!
I actually look quite young for my age (130).
Lily that is called VIBE-CITING and we do it because we are PUBSMAXXXING. Your aura just got farmed, let bro cook
At least that’s somewhat easy to detect! The one I saw was like “Mason’s (2018) book invented the feeling thermometer measure” which is extremely wrong but also difficult for an AI reviewer to distinguish.
I’ll also posit that an AI reviewer wouldn’t have caught any of this - because they don’t “know” which papers do which things. AI isn’t designed to do that. I keep seeing folks say “but it will soon” and just once I’d like a legit demonstration that isn’t embarrassing.
I recently reviewed an article that I was very suspicious was written by by AI, even though all the citations were real. Why? The cited works didn’t do the thing that they were cited to do. It was as if the authors hadn’t read any of it. Pretty bad signal to a reviewer.
If you are a client of a firm that folded in this fight, you should know that not only were they morally wrong, but they were also strategically dumb www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
Speedrunning all the great blunders of the past
I think the truly damning thing about the Dem comms response is that they had months to prepare for today and there's zero coordination, no unified message. Just every D leader responding like they quickly hammered out a statement in a panic at 6 am this morning

I'm hiring a postdoc (from Aug 1) to help build a new research program on politically sustainable immigration policies at Notre Dame.
Looking for a social scientist with strong quant skills, familiarity with new computational tools, and interest in public-facing research.
It is difficult to overstate how quickly & thoroughly & shamefully we have normalized “the president can use federal funding as a cudgel to punish blue states & only blue states on his whim” in our polity & society. Yet another thing that would have ended any other presidency in the modern era.
Huh. Imagine that.
Yeah Sean likes to write about things he hasn't read.
I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.
If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.
If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.
The irony is that this behavior is extremely 1990s women’s diet culture, in which you hurt yourself just enough to look the way you think other people think you should look.
