Hello new followers! I waste a lot of time on here, but when I'm not doing that I sometimes write books. My new one is called Citizen Scholar: Public Engagement for Social Scientists (out in January, orderable now), and it has all you need to prevent ... oh no

Except for the persecution of a small number of activists, nothing they are doing has anything to do with woke students who protest and can't get jobs. I understand politicians lie a lot, and a New Yorker articles is not really going to shape the public narrative, it's just offensive.

They all know, and they know the reporters know, that the indebted, protesting, useless-major students are a tiny fraction of all college students. It's just not credible, and journalists should stop repeating it. Source:

Why do people just report this? May Mailman says that, "Instead of producing citizens who will 'propel our country into the next generation of greatness,' [universities] are, in her view, creating 'indebted students with useless majors who hate our country and like to go to riots.'"

I really like this idea. Even if we don’t get a journal, it seems like incumbent journals could encourage some kind of research note format. I’m still being cited for things that were accurate fifteen years ago and are extremely not accurate now.

Using GSS or ACS or CPS or NLSY to analyze a trend, and then years later ... it changes. Huh! Maybe we should have a Journal of Subsequent Events, to incentivize the original authors to report these developments. They are most likely to notice, and may as well get some credit for showing it.
