BJPolS abstract discussing political news consumption. It highlights the dependency of outlets on audience preferences, with coverage focusing on partisan conflict and specialized jargon.

new pre-print just dropped!

the nationalization of politics at the local level -- specifically within school districts -- affects turnover of school board members and superintendents.

in-partisans are much better at parsing in-partisan ideological heterogeneity than out-partisans

silver bulletin chart: how political figures are perceived by the left, right, and center. shows that Republicans rate Democrats from Alexandria Ocasio Cortez through Chuck Schumer as similarly extreme (while Democrats differentiate her, Mamdani, and Sanders from establishment Democrats) while Democrats rate Republicans from Donald Trump through Robert F. Kennedy as similarly extreme -- only rating Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and George W. Bush as meaningfully more moderate -- while Republicans perceive more variation among these Republicans.

as best I can tell going around town getting made fun of by normal people who are having a good time with their friends is, like, part of the ideology

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 1d

the rub of course is that as far as tangible political behavior is concerned most ideologues, most of the time, are doing group/coalition politics and not philosophy

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 1d

people sincerely committed to libertarianism as a philosophy did in fact clock Trump from the outset, and they have been right all along. libertarianism as a coalition partner within conservatism went along for the ride.

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 1d

this and other (correct) reactions to this piece really underscore the distinction between ideologies as political philosophies and ideologies as coalitions of policy demanders

Yes, some of us did, but the libertarians at Reason were not prominent among them, except for the one who got fired for it.

bringing out Mike Tyson -- quite famously Not A Role Model for a bunch of different reasons! -- to call the entire country fat slobs on one of the biggest feast days of the year. pretty weird!

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 1d

surprised to have not seen any Takes about the tension last night between the normie/friendly GLP-1 ads and the absolutely unhinged MAHA ad our government paid for where Mike Tyson blames his own sister for her heart attack

Trump crashes out over Bad Bunny’s halftime show

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Pat McAfee blown away to learn San Francisco is not what conservative media makes it out to be

Pat McAfee spent a lot of time this week praising San Francisco and saying it's not the city many have made it out to be.

LLMs could surely generate passable children’s books, but I doubt they can generate Actually Good ones.

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t read a lot of romance novels, but I do read a lot of children’s books, which are likely similar in that you can immediately tell when the author is just trying to pay the bills vs when they thought about what they wanted to say.

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

The way Ms. Hart sees it, romance writers must either embrace artificial intelligence, or get left behind.
"If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who's going to win the race?" she said.
