Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

On this Jan. 6, it’s a fitting moment to reflect on the threats to democracy posed by norm violations from political elites - and by a public that either supports or turns a blind eye to them.
@lewan.bsky.social, @kiiahuttunen.bsky.social, Ralph Hertwig, and I discuss this in a recent publication.

Arresting democratic backsliding? History holds some lessons.

Our paper that examined democratic near misses -- that is, cases in which democratic backsliding was averted at the last moment, before autocracy became entrenched, is finally out in Behavioural Public Policy doi.org/10.1017/bpp.... 1/n

Delightful few days spent in NYC for @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social annual meeting and had the chance to present my work with @lewan.bsky.social on Friday night.

Get yourself someone who looks at you with the love&admiration I look at my poster?
