New paper: "The Lynching of Italians and the Rise of Antilynching Politics in the United States"

We argue that for decades after the Civil War, the lynching of thousands of Black Americans was met with indifference by White politicians and newspapers...

I’m thrilled to share that my first academic publication is out @SF_Journal. In this paper, with @GaryAdlerJr, we analyze religious identity and behavior over time to analyze the secularization question in Turkey. 1/n

Hell yeah @mtaylor_soc @dustinst

In my dissertation and paper with Sabrina Nardin, I argued that the lynching of Italian migrants in New Orleans was the most covered and politically influential lynching before 1930. I would not have guessed it was also the most covered of ANY event of the year.

This such an amazing resource for historical/computational soc.

I’m excited to share American Stories, a new billion-scale dataset of structured texts/layouts from public domain newspapers (1780-1960) that we’ve built using our deep learning packages. #EconTwitter (1/13)

@JustaNormalDino My sense is that complex models are built on simpler foundational models. In math or physics those models are extremely accurate, but in social science our foundational models are of complex units, and therefore aren't particularly accurate, so error propagates with complexity

The only reasonable conclusion is that NBA teams should stop using height as a selection criteria. They should stop measuring it and should not use height in deciding what players to draft.

@familyunequal On your table of top androgynous names though it does seem like there are fewer with the long e suffix than I would expect.

[Charles Seguin @CharlieSeguin]

@familyunequal I see Riley, Rylee Bailey, Hadlee, Frankie, Avery, Emery, Murphy, Remi, Armani, and Kinsley though? Hadley, Rylee, and Kinsley at least are androgynous there and not in US.

@JonathanHorowi1 Yeah 7 in NC and 2 in AZ really reset my expectations. Even 20ish degree days here feel extremely cold.

@JonathanHorowi1 Winter is coming

@seth_abrutyn And I'd nominate Chomsky as the worst offender here.

[Charles Seguin @CharlieSeguin]

@seth_abrutyn I like to call this style of theorizing "Dysfunctionalism"
