I read this paper in 2021 and since then I have tried to block accounts that regularly post moral outrage (especially if I agree with the underlying message).

This work by Pieter Buegel is probably the very first painting of a White Christmas. The pregnant, blue-cloaked Mary rides a donkey led by Joseph, but they are inconspicuous as part of the throng (The Census at Bethlehem, 1566) www.artinsociety.com/bruegelrsquo...

A hidden gem for PolSci in an Econ journal: mainstream right-wing parties seem to capture only a fraction (!) of the far-right vote when the latter don't run in an election. Crucially, left parties seem to gain votes! A key finding for understanding potential coalitions doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

Wild that the US blew past democratic backsliding just is speed running to a personalist regime.

This is a great paper on residential segregation in Europe. See how Western Europe is rather much segregated.

How does a Trump victory (or loss) impact attitudes abroad? There are a bunch of papers that have asked this question over the last eight years. 🧵

The 2016 election lead to an immediate negative effect on public opinion towards the US.

The uncertainty created by these periodic nationalist backlashes (also in Denmark, for example) unfortunately puts brakes on the much-needed internationalization of European science and academia.
Utrecht University abolishes its English language bachelor's program in economics and replaces it with a Dutch one.

They told staff (~30% international) the week before Christmas. Layoffs seem likely now. Unwarranted lobotomy is the only word I can find for it...

The ongoing radicalization of Gen Z Republicans is something media in Europe should absolutely start covering. Now.
This is a focus group of Gen Z Republicans in the United States of America. Now.

They get their news only from social media/podcasts, and they express warm sympathy for Adolf Hitler and for (Nazi) Nick Fuentes.

Fascism will destroy their future.
