The name is backwards - too many Kevin Smiths. Pol psych and pub policy. Writing a book on mass incarceration.

Not sure exactly what the consequences will be, but suspect will be quick and brutal

I wonder what the full array of political consequences will be if Social Security stays on track and its benefits drop to 81% in 2035.

1. Does drawing harder boundaries between science and "misinformation" increase or decrease public trust in science?

Student reading abilities dropped so low some are calling for higher ed to take seriously the task of "cognitive rehabilitation."

Respondents were asked to place themselves, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party

On a scale from 1 (very liberal) to 7 (very conservative)

Here's how 16 religious groups have done that from 2012 through 2025.

There are dozens of good stories here.

Booing Jonathan Haidt is a “shame and a disgrace,” as my grandmother would say.

Former AEJMC president and Stanford journalism professor emeritus Ted Glasser: "Journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it's hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity."

This is the organization whose conference used the word 'resistance' 36 times last year and 'impartial' zero.

“If you’ve been in the social sciences for any amount of time, your reaction to this is probably one of two things...Either, ‘Oh my God, half?’ or, ‘Honestly, I’m surprised it’s that high.’ I'm in the "honestly I'm surprised it's that high camp.

Data/code not shared for 70+% of published soc sci papers? Holy cow.

Paul Ehrlich provides us with staggeringly certain, practically dispositive evidence that peer review allows basic, critical mistakes to be published with the imprimatur of the establishment.

Political Science's academic job market having its worst post-Covid year -- almost 20% fewer jobs than at the same point in the previous cycle (which itself was bad!)
