lots of talk among Democrats about how whether and how much they need to moderate. in a new @goodauth post, i look at which candidates have actually staked out a moderate reputation in their states...one clear standout here 1/3

we recently upgraded the CES shiny apps...most of the improvements are aesthetic, but one notable addition is the ability to see breakdowns of the vote for governor and senate in states with large enough samples! full set of apps are here: tischcollege.tufts.edu/resea…

The fact that this @nytimes article does not include at least a reference to the famed Far Side cartoon panel "Cow Tools" is a travesty. nytimes.com/2026/01/19/scien… That single cartoon panel has its own wikipedia page. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_to…

"For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards and removing penalties for failure." Not great, Bob. theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1…

this graph doesn't show you the error bars the 2021 figure for trans could be anywhere from 3.8% to 8.3% (95% confidence interval) the 2024 figure could be between 2.1% and 4.8% so, it could be down, it could be steady, or it could even be slightly up 🤷‍♂️
It turns out ... trans identification really is in free fall among the young. So is nonbinary identity. See below from a nationally representative survey (the CES). @epkaufm was right. 🚨👀 (1/2) 👇

This is why it's going to be pretty tough to fit the founding generation into our own political conflicts. Most efforts to do so (while probably well-intentioned) are going to founder (ahem!) on the fact that our political questions and ideologies don't fit theirs very well.
I mean you take the point, but movements we would recognize as radical existed in the 1600s/1700s were known to the Founders: Levellers/Diggers/Fifth Monarchists, etc. The Founders mostly (Paine, a few others excepted) rejected this view. 1/

One of the best things about Wikipedia (that only college football fans know about) is checking player entries on Saturday nights.

I too have noticed people are less than thrilled in airports.

RFK JR: I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation—you can tell from their faces, movements, and lack of social connection

From wrestling to Joe Rogan to mean tweets, the Republican Party under Trump exudes testosterone — and is reveling in it. — @grahamtoday deseret.com/opinion/2025/06/…

Does anyone else find it weird that even though Juneteenth clearly does not have an exact date we did not manage to put it on a Friday or a Monday to make a bigger more reliable holiday? I mean Independence Day has to be the 4th, but does Juneteenth *really* need to be the 19?

Best rioting video so far. So very 2025.
BREAKING: Alarms blaring on multiple iPhones that were taken from the Apple store in downtown LA. Displays on the devices read, "Please return to Apple Tower Theatre. This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted.”

So is it common practice to not wear shoes while wrestling with an alligator? I just want to know the etiquette in case this comes up for me. x.com/accuweather/status/191…

Only in Florida! 🐊 Florida man Mike Dragich, a licensed alligator trapper, took on a massive 10-foot alligator along I-95 in Jacksonville on Sunday.

Replying to @asymmetricinfo
And this is while faculty are under pressure to raise their student success metrics, so there is an ever stronger incentive to say "well done" and move on. In the midst of all this national drama, why should any individual faculty member fight a good fight?
