So, umm, Utah's most recent political earthquake (ending the political tenure of a Speaker of the House) was about how the state didn't want a data center. But now we're going to host a "nuclear hub."
Yes, right. I'm sure that will go smoothly.

we have an op-ed out in today's @nytimes print edition that comes out of the work that we have done for our book project American Mosaic. the book shows how half of Americans' adhere to identity politics while the other half, the Mosaic Middle, do not. 🧵
What counts as a foul in soccer is completely mysterious to me. You can just grab shoulders and shove them from behind; but then everyone just trips and it is somehow a very big deal.

So excited to be featured in this spectacular new edited volume! Many thanks to @ProfKarpo & @JeremyCPope for putting this together!
This was both fun to write and something I think more people should read.

we recently upgraded the CES shiny apps...most of the improvements are aesthetic, but one notable addition is the ability to see breakdowns of the vote for governor and senate in states with large enough samples! full set of apps are here: tischcollege.tufts.edu/resea…
Finally, all of that Gilligan's Island / Batman training in my childhood will pay off.

The fact that this @nytimes article does not include at least a reference to the famed Far Side cartoon panel "Cow Tools" is a travesty.

That single cartoon panel has its own wikipedia page.

"For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards and removing penalties for failure."
Not great, Bob.

Next Friday (11/14):
Join @dcoxpolls & me for a discussion of the 2025 American Family Survey, which reveals a growing concern among Americans about cost of living re: family formation + growing ideological polarization in family formation. @AEI brookings.edu/events/america…

this graph doesn't show you the error bars
the 2021 figure for trans could be anywhere from 3.8% to 8.3% (95% confidence interval)
the 2024 figure could be between 2.1% and 4.8%
so, it could be down, it could be steady, or it could even be slightly up 🤷♂️
It turns out ... trans identification really is in free fall among the young. So is nonbinary identity. See below from a nationally representative survey (the CES). @epkaufm was right. 🚨👀 (1/2) 👇
This is why it's going to be pretty tough to fit the founding generation into our own political conflicts. Most efforts to do so (while probably well-intentioned) are going to founder (ahem!) on the fact that our political questions and ideologies don't fit theirs very well.
We should care about what makes government actions legitimate or not (research with my excellent student, Rebecca Bankhead!).
