This is what's going on over on X. Friends don't let friends stay there. Tell them how good it is here! (or on Threads! or even on LinkedIn!)

The UK did it. France did it. I’m hopeful the US will also do it in November.

Très heureux que Estelle Mercier ait été élue dans la 1ère circonscription de Meurthe-et-Moselle, qui plus est avec un tel score. Elle manquera à la majorité municipale de Nancy. Mais à n’en pas douter, elle sera une excellente députée.

I find the literature studying the economic effects of narratives so fascinating. This new working paper shows that narratives explained 1/5 of the output variance during the Great Recession! www.nber.org/papers/w32602 #EconSky #MonitoringEconomics

Sous les attaques de l’extrême-droite, la liberté académique est en recul aux États-Unis. Un recul notamment causé par des élus républicains, qui utilisent l’État pour attaquer les scientifiques dont les travaux mettent en évidence leurs fadaises. L’ED est l’ennemie de la vérité et de la science.

This is an appalling and horrifying story about the attacks researchers like @katestarbird.bsky.social undergo by those determined to silence any who call out their disinformation and other underhanded tactics. Very similar to what climate scientists experience but with even MORE vitriol.

Nature spoke to political scientists from around the world whose work has flung them into both the public and political limelight, sometimes with drastic consequences for their personal and professional lives. 🧪

If you subscribe to a newsletter but later change your mind, just email the author and ask for a refund. Most of us will give you one. Really tired of people canceling by filing "fraud" disputes with their banks over a $6 charge. I get charged $15 for each dispute, whether I win or lose.

Comment ça, un parti antisémite présente des candidats antisémites aux élections ? Vraiment, quelle surprise. C’est très inattendu. Personne ne l’avait vu venir.
