Here it is, the most damning academic figure in the history of all figures: Russian IRA accounts deeply embedded in both sides of the 2016 Twitter BLM "discussion" (by @katestarbird.bsky.social & team, 2018).
THIS is what our information ecosystem supports. Twitter just made it 1% more visible.

I can understand that sentiment a lot. But I also know the other side, and I know how insanely frustrating and difficult to prevent such things can be. I’m not trying to sugarcoat the insane data breach, just acknowledge that they must’ve had a bad morning asking why they didn’t see it earlier.

Die Dimensionen in Wordembeddings könnten ja als Unterscheidungen im Luhmannschen Sinne interpretiert werden oder? Also man erlaube einem Text x viele Unterscheidungen aufzumachen... die häufig angestellte Projektion auf eine Achse wäre dann ja quasi das einnehmen eines Subsystems?Wo ist der Fehler

Research reveals the link between language and lawmaking
New research from Linköping University shows that words in the U.S. Congress don’t just reflect politics – they predict it. Hendrik Erz reveals how speech and voting together shape American democracy.

Here's your periodic reminder that much of what appears in mainstream econ journals has large overlaps with other social science fields. E.g., at least 6/15 papers in this top tier journal could probably be published in sociology journals too: academic.oup.com/qje/issue/?n...

... to me analytical sociology is an attempt of making sociology more rigor by connecting it to the natural sciences. The origin of the confusion around what AS is comes from the realization that there might be reasons why sociology is no natural science and one ends up doing "just sociology" :)

Law is inherently normative. By both placing far-right candidates in (U.S.) or preventing left-of-center candidates from joining (Germany) constitutional courts, a country's constitution is moving to the right.
