Thought about scientific consensus recently? We have a new DP @i4replication.bsky.social that probes into the famous replication debate between Acemoglu, Johnson & Robinson (AJR) and Albouy - and how experts assess this debate. We find that they disagree. 1/8 www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10...

Abtreibungen seien schlimmer als der Holocaust, prominente schwarze Frauen hätten nicht die nötige „Gehirnkapazität“, um ernst genommen zu werden, und müssten einer „weißen Person den Platz stehlen“, um Erfolg

And he doesn’t care under what conditions he gets this headline.
I just want to be extremely clear about one thing and somehow the media does not understand this about Trump at all.

Trump does not want peace and he does not care about it. Trump wants A HEADLINE THAT SAYS HE WON PEACE.

Extremely different things.

Si Katy Perry veut vraiment "protéger cette magnifique Terre", elle peut commencer par arrêter de faire la promo de la boîte de tourisme spatial (je passe sur les émissions astronomiques de CO2) d'un milliardaire qui détruit la planète en question.

Teile der CDU möchten, dass man normaler mit der AFD umgeht & ihr z. B. gestattet Ausschüsse zu leiten. Eine Partei die in viele Landesverbänden gesichert rechtsextrem ist und mit faschistischem Führungspersonal. Erschreckend. Man muss grad dann Widerstand leisten, wenn es unbequem wird.

👇shows the importance of coordination, to generate safety in numbers.

It would be good to know whether US university leaders are currently working on a coordination of their responses.
"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...
