Ive lived in Lansing for a year. I’m visiting Chicago for five minutes. The first place I ate here (random mexican diner) is better than any meal ive had in Lansing by a salivating order of magnitude. Big cities are a gift to the world.

Replying to @ASFleischman
I am not one to say that people shouldn't go to law school, but I have worried that there is an uncomfortable number of incoming law students who expect to be international human rights lawyers who argue human rights cases at the U.S. Supreme Court as part of the international human rights law practice at their large law firm at which they are partners.

We forget this in the discourse, but people with deep, consistent, and ideologically recognizable/coherent views are the actual weirdos.

At @SearchlightInst we talk a lot about heterodoxy. Now, partnering with @nytimes, we can show you exactly what we mean. “In reality, people often have heterodox views that defy strict partisanship.” Take a minute to read this—it might change how you think about politics. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

I wonder if this @JoanBiskupic article on former SCOTUS clerks becoming judges, especially on the right, misses a reason the "pipeline" exists on the right more than the left. Here's some speculation. 🧵 cnn.com/2026/09/14/politics/…

Trump elections did stand out for greater focus on cultural issues relative to economic issues, especially 2024. Dem campaigns of the 90s & 00s stood out for their economic emphasis. proquest.com/docview/3381240…

Osita's whole review is great, and it serves to underline how little theories of deliberative democracy, created under sunny skies, have to offer now that the weather for democracy has turned foul.

Actually it’s bad when academic institutions launder movement politics through their unrelated scholarly expertise.

If you're going to be in Boston for APSA, stop by and join us for a panel with a bunch of great papers (tackling, e.g., immigration, civil rights, legal liberalism) on Friday at 10 am

The Classic Learning Test exists to "reconnect knowledge & virtue for seekers of truth, goodness, & beauty." Here, its founder, Jeremy Wayne Tate, says he is "building a movement that believes education should form souls, not just produce test scores." His post is 100% AI. 1/

APSA paper with J. Dyck and R. Castro Cornejo. We ask whether Mamdani supporters were (are?) populists, socialists, neither, or both. The episode may reflect an interesting development in the Democratic Party and thus the wider party system.

this person's most-highly cited work is: 1) about ghosts 2) a joint publication with their (much more accomplished) father presumably this is what is meant by an "adequate volume of high-impact research"
Martha Lincoln@heavyredactionAug 12
There is no shame in leaving academia because you didn’t publish an adequate volume of high-impact research. This happens for many different reasons and it is not a moral failing. However, crossing over to RW punditry owing to its opportunity structure actually *is* very shameful

This is a nice teachable moment. What Tim is describing here is "survivor bias." It is a logical reasoning error where we focus only on the winners or survivors of a process while completely ignoring the ones that failed. i.e., billionaires exist so poverty cannot be a problem

How are all these academics complaining about anti-conservative discrimination tenured or in tenure-track positions??????

As many note, these are quite outrageous. This from Darity, MacLean and Camara (*very* well known researchers in their area!) is so misleading I would fail a student who tried this on a term paper. #7 on my eight rule catechism for trust in universities: kevinbryanecon.com/trust.htm…

@PhilWMagnessJun 7
I pick on Slobodian in the thread below as an egregious and recurring offender. But this sort of quote-editing by leftist scholars is *extremely* common in academia. Here's another by Nancy MacLean & Sandy Darity where they transform an attack on Apartheid into a defense of it.
