If the government chooses white supremacy, we must choose to make ourselves ungovernable. #ResistTrumpism

@Gerry_Martini I'm planning to go dormant here in favor of there. I'm finding it just as easy to use for professional purposes and a lot of social and data scientists are migrating so there is a lot of relevant content. But there are far fewer cat pictures, as far as I can tell.

I would like to ask all of the interesting people I follow to hurry up and move to mastodon so I don't miss any good content. The social and data sciences are on the move. Let's go! @[email protected]

I know some want the USPS to offer banking services, and that would be a great idea. I want them to also build and run a social network. We can refer to these messages as "postcards." @USPS

[Timothy Shortell @brooklynsoc]

This is what happens when you build a "public square" that is really just a corporate product. What we need is a publicly owned social network.

Nearly half (47%) of all American adults say the Bible should have “a great deal” or “some” influence on U.S. laws. And 27% say that when they conflict, the Bible should have more influence than the will of the people. https://t.co/RElFoQFX7V

@TheTattooedProf I sometimes have to drive a car in New York City, so I am not sure there's evidence for that assertion.

Of course, it doesn't have to a majority viewpoint to take power or to do great harm to the country.

Here's the report:

It is interesting that as visible as Christian nationalism is, and even though it has captured the Republican party, it is clearly a minority viewpoint.

I don't know how many transfer course evaluations Barry Bonds did in his career, but I'm about to surpass his home run total in evaluations, at least.

Teach this material not only in #SociologyOfReligion, but also #IntroductorySociology and #SociologicalTheory, #PoliticalSociology, and #SocialResearchMethods.

[Timothy Shortell @brooklynsoc]

This is an example of how sociology can help us understand the moment in which we find ourselves. #SociologyOfReligion is essential these days, and @ndrewwhitehead and @profsamperry are the best version of it.

My favorite part of teaching statistical programming is the little moment of joy that students experience when they get the code to work correctly.

[Timothy Shortell @brooklynsoc]

The latest addition to my to-be-read stack. #SociologyOfReligion

[Timothy Shortell @brooklynsoc]

I'll need to do most of the meetings on Zoom, though.

I'm currently serving as the chair of my department and as the chair of faculty government on my campus, so it is fair to say that I'm overextended. But if asked, I will serve as prime minister of the UK.

@UnlawfulEntries To have that kind of hubris, I think, you have to have a lot of money.

I had tofu for dinner last night. I will have tofu for dinner again tonight. #BigTofu

[Timothy Shortell @brooklynsoc]

I want everyone to know that I am most definitely a part of Big Tofu, so don't cross me.
