I appreciate @benschneer.bsky.social and HKS for making this very clear explanation of the problems of redistricting in Texas. Social media needs more of this.

The NYT online was free for over a decade and largely killed local journalism. Then they killed Google Reader and now comedians at the big networks are being fired for speaking humorous truth. Enshitification has fucked up everything. - Elder Millenial

Basically the end of August APSA eJobs check-in #polisky (8/1-8/29)
I remove non-ac positions & PhD studentships from the count & try not to miss individual listings with multiple jobs.
August 2024: 156 positions (118 open to asst. TT)
August 2025: 116 positions (82 open to asst. TT)

August 2024: 65 positions (51 assistant TT positions)
August 2025: 51 positions (38 assistant TT positions)
It's interesting that the ratio of positions seems stable, but the overall number of positions available is down

The Chiefs have won more regular season away games in the last nine NFL seasons (57) than the Cleveland Browns have won since their return to the NFL in the 1999 season (56).

Would Canada or France like to buy a satellite? Probably not going to happen but a budgeter can dream.
When Newt Gingrich cut Congressional staff to prevent them from finding new problems to address, at least he was able to claim this is a cost saving maneuver.

Signatories include Steven Levitsky, Dani Rodrik, Ryan Enos, Theda Skocpol, and Steven Walt.
Someone forwarded it to me. Read it here:
