Didn't get a flu shot again. Now on day 4 of being miserable and I get to miss UWF's first home playoff game in a few years. Super.

If we don't see an escalation of action against Venezuela in the next few days, diversionary theory should be retired. We're reaching literal Wag the Dog levels.

@profbcrisher.bsky.social and I study House members messages to constituents about climate change, and conduct a survey experiment to see if different frames work.

Being an academic in the 21st century - I wrote the rought draft of a conclusion for a paper on my phone while waiting in the pick-up line for my daughter at school. 🤗

Oh my, Florida. Is that what they mean by "It just means more"?

I'm not sure which demographic supposedly controls the weather lasers right now. But, whoever is, can you use them to get rid of the heat dome? I'm tired of triple-digit heat indexes. Thanks.

9:30pm and the heat index is still 96 degrees.

Fantastic Four was great. Such a good summer for movies. Can't wait for the Naked Gun movie.

All the talk of airstrikes, ground wars, and nukes makes it easy to miss a growing trend in global security affairs: the (return) centrality of naval power.

Mahan would be proud, as I explain in my latest for @wpr.bsky.social.
