Mens især DR dækker næsten hver eneste minister som Trump udnævner så har pressen stor set ikke dækket de dramatiske opgør frem mod den nye EU kommission? Var det ikke meningen vi i EU nu skulle stå mere på egne ben? #dkpol youtu.be/PI95V_n71io?...

I am so excited about the migration from X that I made a whole YouTube video about what it takes to run a social media company in a responsible way.
Don't worry, I will be back to covering the normal topics and the war in Ukraine next time.

Insightful panel with newly minted Nobel laureate @dacemoglumit.bsky.social and hear him „preach” in a chapel. A key moment: “There’s always a choice with technology. Those who thought social media would democratize democracy weren’t delusional—there was real potential at one point” econsky polisky

My latest Guardian Books cartoon.
Caption: Tim realised with horror that all the other characters in the novel had been significantly revised and refined for the latest draft. Image: A party in an elegant, art-filled apartment, stylish characters drink martinis and exhange barbed bon mots. Apart from the group a single, wobbly stick man stands awkwardly with an anxous look on his simple face.

Populist parties have rise.

Populism hasn't.

In this piece @goodauth.bsky.social, I discuss new research on how populist parties succeed. It's not because populism is more popular.

Right-wing populist parties have risen. Populism hasn’t.
Populist attitudes haven't increased. But populist politicians and parties have encouraged those attitudes.

Abstract: Traditional research on political parties pays little attention to the temporal focus of communication but usually concentrates on promises, issue attention, and policy positions. This lack of scholarly attention is surprising, given that voters respond to nostalgic rhetoric and may even adjust issue positions when policy is framed in nostalgic terms. This article presents a novel dataset, PolNos, which contains six text-based measures of nostalgic rhetoric in 1,648 party manifestos across 24 European democracies from 1946 to 2018. The measures combine dictionaries, word embeddings, sentiment approaches, and supervised machine learning. Our analysis yields a consistent result: nostalgia is most prevalent in manifestos of culturally conservative parties, notably Christian democratic, nationalist, and radical right parties. However, substantial variation remains in terms of regional differences and whether nostalgia concerns the economy or culture. We discuss the implications a
