Researches and professes about international relations. “An incredibly average scholar.” Co-director of the Correlates of War project. Probably thinking about music, food, or the dog.

(This also reminds us of the need to introduce some more consistent version-numbering rules, which we'll do in the not-too-distant future.)

We've introduced a minor update to COW's State System Membership Data, updating the coverage through 2024 and making available "blank" dyad-year and directed dyad-year data sets, in addition to the traditional state-year data.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

From Jan–July 2025, U.S. musical instrument exports are 8.4% below the 2021–24 avg.

Brazil (-28%), China (-27%), Italy (-23%), and Canada (-12%) saw sharpest Y-o-Y drops.

Why?
NOT retaliation (ex-China)

- Higher input costs
- Global economic uncertainty
- Consumer substitution away from brands

NEW: From Jan-Jul 2025 US exports of musical instruments were 8.4% lower than average over same time 2021–24, likely reflecting higher input costs passed to consumers, dampened demand amid economic uncertainty, & for some, conscious substitution away from US products. By @cullenhendrix.bsky.social:

Notable that AI tools could not even generate accurate meeting summaries beyond “a couple hundred words.” That’s useless for minutes.

And for lit review they *completely* shit the bed.

But these aren’t people’s favorite tasks & AI is way quicker, so many will keep using them, truth be damned.

Some tools were sufficient for summarizing meetings. For research, the results were a disaster.

No, he’s not giving Putin Alaska, but he is giving Putin a huge gift: the legitimacy of touching down on US soil at the invitation of a US president. A reward for the full-scale invasion of a sovereign, democratic country that the United States and its European allies support.
