Lovely-chan, a jersey cow who walks on two legs, is a mascot from Hiruzen Jersey Land, a scenic farm in Okayama Prefecture.

One of my favorite bits of disciplinary grandstanding is that the URL for American Political Science Review's Dataverse collection is just 'the_review': dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/th... I like to imagine that's the reason the AER is at OpenICPSR and the ASR doesn't have a repository at all :)

American Political Science Review DataverseDataCite-Logodataverse.harvard.edu The American Political Science Review is political science's premier scholarly research journal, providing peer-reviewed articles and review essays from subfields throughout the discipline. Areas cove...

So much of early survey research was done by women

Can't believe stupid fascists have me rooting for the Netherlands. #NEDTUR

About the #UKElections - anyone know what's up with the SNP tanking? Is that 'just' the Nicola Sturgeon scandal or something else going on?

This is the actual, original article The Imperial Supreme Court. Accept no imitations from the New York Times, which decided to take the title and idea without attribution (after turning down my op ed with the same title, no less) harvardlawreview.org/forum/vol-13...

The Imperial Supreme Court - Harvard Law Reviewharvardlawreview.org The past few years have marked the emergence of the imperial Supreme Court. Armed with a new, nearly bulletproof majority, conservative Justices on the...

Well, the US did turn those into orange-colored "cheddar" cheese and wonderbread, which seem an apt analogy here.

I can't believe we, as a species, invented bread and cheese - two things that require multiple, complicated steps as well as microbe husbandry - and this is the best political system we've got

FYI, I've confirmed with Paul Musgrave that he intentionally deleted his account, so no need to start a hacking investigation

A while back, my colleague Jonas and I published a dataset of #LGBTIQ+ data in European #SocialScience Archives. We now wrote about it in this blog: blog.gesis.org/data-on-the-... Happy reading and happy #PrideMonth 🌈 The dataset is availabe here: doi.org/10.7802/2650

Data on the Margins: Identifying LGBTIQ+ data in European Data Archivesblog.gesis.org There are lots of data collected on opinions towards LGBTIQ+ people, for example the European Value Study or the Eurobarometer. But which data exist that tell us more about these populations from thei...

I love this series as a concept: incumbent against best candidate you can think of from the other party under several conditions - then, btw, who were you thinking about?

Is there any reason why people in the US are so insistent adding S and D to timezones? ET, CT, etc is perfectly unambiguous: the time in the timezone, on the date in question. This is particularly true bc no one knows which is which (courtesy reminder: the S is _not_ for Summer)

As an *actual* German, I'll talk about how - I appreciate Hasselhoff as a singer - Might be a bit direct - It should be enough praise for you if I don't yell at you for screwing up. I'll definitely not point to our great history of revenge, not least bc all ex I can think of are rather genocidal

van gogh hat nur mit öl gemalt weil focaccia noch nicht erfunden war

Vincent Van Dough's "The Starry Night" rendered as focaccia. It is ok and even advisable to have hobbies outside of your job. Recipe: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/27914...

I don't have an opinion on lab leaks, but the idea, held I think by a fair number of epedimiologists, that a sociologist of information (like Tufekci) is a 'non-expert' when writing about trust & pandemic policy is one of the reason public health messaging in the US was so poor.

Please allow me to add that it's not their fault that the stadium forces them to gather on a cycle route, and they are in fact very nice city visitors. All positive vibes across a seemingly endless stream of encounters (set to last another 36 hours or so). Swifties welcome anytime!!

As the Swifties descend upon Edinburgh, engulfed in fervor, they momentarily lose track of some of the simpler things in life (bike paths and physics)

"Essential commuters..."

there it is. "The congestion tax is not only a burden on police officers and other essential commuters — it’s bad for public safety,” said Patrick Hendry, president of the city’s police union, in the first of the two releases. nysfocus.com/2024/06/07/h...

I'd have hoped political scientists had a bit more pull among Democratic primary candidates in the district that houses the Maxwell School 😭.

Immigrants -- they get the job done

Holy fucking shit. The US Cricket team just beat Pakistan. To put that in perspective, it would be like the Pakistan National Cricket team beating the Lakers. In basketball.

It’s a hell of a lot easier than it used to be to get ~2M rows of data directly from the government, let me tell you. I didn’t even have to get up off the couch.

The _entire_ CLR website remains "under maintenance" two days later. Just completely bonkers of the CLR Board (some context here: theintercept.com/2024/06/03/c... ) (Not endorsing the article, which I haven't read; but that's just not a serious approach to publishing)

Columbia Law Review took the whole site down instead of making this law review article available. PDF version available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1vC1-...
