Lots to like about this piece. Attention to early uses of polarization in other fields (physical and natural sciences!) and re-tethering it to early politics and political science lends it great validity.
What is political polarization? It is more than a clash of ideologies or identities. It is a breakdown of basic democratic trust -- the end of democracy as “the only game in town.” Online first, open access: Rethinking Political Polarization doi.org/10.1093/psquar/qqad0…

Very nice paper by Steve Horwitz on liberalism and spontaneous-order thinking. Worth reading.

Spotted an enormous flock of sandhill cranes migrating north over South Bend, IN. Or was it.

At what age (on average) do you imagine that money starts leaving your Venmo account faster than it enters? With 2 20somethings and a teen with a new Pixel, I'm definitely on the net deficit side of this equation.

I'm fully in on this, disciplinary incentives be damned. My post-tenure life of reading broadly is so much richer than my pre-tenure life of trying to satisfy subfield peers.
Intellectual promiscuity is sorely under-valued. Reading widely is - in truth - the only way to understand anything rigorously. Here are four excellent books I’d recommend to my Leftist friends.

I'm getting my world cup updates from the NYT. Help.
Great visit by @kmmunger to Notre Dame, elaborating on this paper into the normative case for the US to ban TikTok. I counted faculty from at least 7 departments in the room.

.@NotreDame political scientists @rachel__porter and @erinrossiter know the value of being fluent in many languages — like R, C , and Python. How programming and other tech skills make them two of the top young quantitative data scientists in the field: al.nd.edu/news/latest-news/d…
