@ryanburge Hi, Ryan. If you're up for it, could you post a version with denoms ordered by median age and not showing the mode? Or is the code on github?

[Sam Stroope @sam_stroope]

@jessesmithsoc You sort of implied this, but what jumped out to me is how many ideas are included in those anti-cn items. It'd be hard to know which part people were responding to when they responded. It's no surprise there are some unexpected correlations.

Is there an "R Wrapped" for my most used functions/packages from 2025? ...maybe an appreciation video from the package author too?

@jonatanpallesen What's the trend like if you use partyID instead? Also is there a link to your code so we can know how data setup was handled?

@jessesmithsoc Congrats, Jesse!

🚨 Download a copy of “Institutional Anomie, Religious Ecologies, and Violence in American Communities” [https://t.co/krgrs52N4c] for our motivation for the analysis and a discussion of the findings. 8/8

We draw on Institutional Anomie Theory’s ideas of economic dominance of institutions and Durkheim’s insight about religious distinctions to understand these patterns. 7/
