How is White House demolition happening so quickly?! I live in a historic district in Madison, Wisconsin - and it takes a LONG time to get approval for any even minor change to one’s property. How can the bulldozers just be pulling the east wing apart, and why is no one stopping it?? Sigh…

Great start to #IPC2025 in beautiful Brisbane, Australia! Legendary demographer Peter McDonald noted the dramatic change in analytic tools during his lifetime. Amidst all that can now be done from home with new data/methods: “don’t forget the real world because that is where life happens.” #IUSSP

Really helpful advice for those whose NEH awards are being cut in the current environment. Thanks, @jasonrhody.bsky.social ! We need insights from the humanities now more than ever…
A few tips for NEH grantees:
1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP.
2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,
