Look at what happens to male teacher salaries (blue line) v.s. female teacher salaries (red line) after collective bargaining laws expire.

When criminals sit on the Supreme Court, laws are optional.
By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute.
Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president.

This privilege-to-tinfoil-hat pipeline is likely why lots of disaffected young (White) men like both Bernie and Trump. Both Bernie and Trump have focused on telling young men they're right to feel wronged and giving them someone to blame (billionaires or libs/feminists/immigrants/China/etc.).

Susan Collins is what we get when we get rid of affirmative action before getting rid of systemic sexism. We get token women who are happy to hold themselves up as an example of what women can accomplish, even as they're throwing other women under the bus. See also: Amy Coney Barrett.
Susan Collins voted aye after a conversation with Thune. She said she is leaning against the bill on final passage, but passed up a chance to hold it hostage tonight.

Here's another paper by Shalizi showing how inferring *latent* homophily allows for disentangling from contagion. Bizarre how this gets overlooked, since it's obvious that homophily leaves huge traces in the network structure, while contagion changes nothing.

We should at a minimum do what Nature does, in which the referee comments and author responses are published along with the paper.
Allows the paper itself to be an authoritative artifact while lifting the curtain on the debate that led its creation.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.
