Book bans are rising, but everyday Americans dont want them.

We tested ~2000 people, and found broad acceptance, not polarization.

The public doesn't echo elite battles.

New paper out in Socio-Economic Review on how doctors and patients talk about the price of care in fertility medicine! I find that the way they talk about money is radically different depending on both the clinic's targeted clientele and organizational structure academic.oup.com/ser/advance-...

Our lab had a #dogathon 🐕 yesterday where we analyzed NYC Open Data on dog licenses. We learned a lot of dog facts, which I’ll share in this thread 🧵

1) Geospatial trends: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are common in Manhattan; the opposite is true for Yorkshire Terriers.

Not thinking of endowment per capita here, but how to tell a story about higher ed that doesn't focus on a handful of highly atypical institutions.

I'm not sure you can tell a great public story about Harvard. But there's another story to be told about what a "war on higher ed" actually looks like.

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.
X post by Amy Nixon (@texasrunnerDFW ), featuring a verification badge. The post reads, "The USA is weird now. If you're a person under 30, you probably think it's normal but that's because you don't know. Trust me. It's weird."

The constant illegality is exhausting. And the extended nature of all this is going wear people down, as what was initially shocking becomes par for the course.
Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

“There is no reason to believe that any nonstandard vernacular is in itself an obstacle to learning. The chief problem is ignorance of language on the part of all concerned. Our job as linguists is to remedy this ignorance.”-Labov, in 1972.

He laid the foundation for sociolinguistics, and he showed that structures like class and race shaped speech as much as where someone lives.

We're in a dangerous moment here. A lot of US progressives and leftists have grown disillusioned w the climate movement as such. Mainstream climate has mostly been silent on genocide. The GND turned into IRA, which turned into minimal social wins and Harris running on fracking. Trump's back. 🧵

The fact is the recent clean energy laws, many of which were bipartisan, are sending billions of dollars into Republican districts. They are overwhelmingly creating jobs in rural and Republican communities.
