I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.
The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

This is a major, huge, humongous deal that will go largely unnoticed because of the broader chaos engulfing our politics. But, suffice it to say that the government is broken when the courts explicitly say they can't trust the administration to tell the truth.

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls.

The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

“First Monday will cease publication, after 30 years…”

Sad news about one of the first open access truly independent interdisciplinary journals out there.

Our petition asking the CSU chancellor to “Cancel ChatGPT Edu. Invest in Humans” is very close to 2,000 signatures—many irate faculty, students, alums.

We‘ll be sending signatures and comments to the administration on *Monday.* Last call, & anyone can sign!

While BlueSky still lacks the absolute protection that Threads offer (where I would need to approve your reply and where I can block you once and forever and any future accounts you create are also blocked, and you could not quote my skeet), still the nuclear blocks are good for these purposes.

Over on Twitter/X I said that economics seminars are the worst (after reading a paper that @johnholbein1.bsky.social shared there about how women economists are interrupted more often and in a more aggressive way), and I did not get the same pushback I would have in earlier years (still got some).
