I keep trying to convince people to come over here from the dark place because here is better and nicer and not owned by Musk, but let's be honest, the real joy of logging in to Bluesky is the chance that one of @carlbergstrom.com's crows will make an appearance somewhere in the feed!
The person running this account deserves a follow. I used to follow him on Twitter for Covid posts, but then learned he is worth following because he has the best posts about crows and amazing photos he shares of them. This is not a quote-tweet dunk.
If you quote-tweet and comment positively or neutrally, that's great!

If you quote-tweet someone just to say "look at this asshole, please harass them", that's not ok here.

It was the norm on twitter.

If you're working on issues of diversity (any kind) and military effectiveness, including adjacent fields like peacekeeping or policing, but haven't published it yet, please drop me a note. I'm working on something now & would like to have the most up-to-date work cited. Thanks! Please re-skeet

How do Ukrainians think about self-defense against Russia? In a new paper out in the AJPS, @janinadill.bsky.social, Marnie Howlett and I find through a conjoint experiment that they are categorically against major concessions, even at very high costs of self-defense doi.org/10.1111/ajps... (1/6)

Honest question: Was I the only one who logged on to this thing yesterday and took embarrassing long to realise that people talking about Polisky and Dictatorsky wasn't just some inside joke about drunken Russian accents?

Since we are all doing introductions:

Hi Polisky, I'm Rune. I study how the varieties of civil war onsets have different causes and dynamics using mixed methods - mostly with focus on Southeast Asia. I'm a PhD candidate at LSE Government and will likely be on the job market within a year or so

@profmusgrave.bsky.social could I, too, be added to Polisky before you get overwhelmed, please?
September 20, 2023 at 10:45 PM
So in an effort to concentrate on finishing my dissertation, I decided that another feed was the solution! It looks great so far!
