"the biggest benefit of a paid subscription is that you [help]...resist the extremist turn of academia and maintain islands of integrity in a sea of academic political corruption." How? I've dedicated the $ to projects, not my pockets. https://t.co/G6pTOnVtHj

@JTS819 @BrandonWarmke Heh, here's hoping even you can see how this is very amusing (both the shot, the first tweet shown here, on its absurd demerits) and, the chaser, its juxtaposition with the second, linked. https://t.co/isQyNlMmpb
According to Jason Stanley, if you're "talking about polarization" you're just a fascism enabler. In fact, you're "almost worse than the fascists." If he hadn't already emptied the term of any substantive content, this should do it.

Most companies chase no-code. These guys did the opposite. Instead of replacing engineers, @timgdelisle & @chriscrane, Co-Founder Fiveonefour, built tools that make devs 10x faster. Here’s what we discussed: • Why “developer-first” beats “no-code” • How simplifying code

Newest post liked in quoted tweet. On my department's recent decision to publicly endorse academic freedom.

"between 1965 and 1995, the typical adult gained 6 hours a week in leisure time...they could have used those additional 300 hours a year to learn a new skill...Instead, the typical American funneled almost all of this extra time into watching more TV."

Totally agree. Nothing wrong with small studies if they are interpreted appropriately, usually meaning as including great uncertainty, NOT establishing some new discovery, and as preliminary requiring confirmation by larger studies conducted by independent teams, preferably via
New 'Preliminary Report' submission format at Science and Medicine in Football. An idea that should be interesting for other journals! Explicitly make space for honestly reported smaller sample-size studies https://t.co/Qa0ovyHfEl

"The limitation of [the article I submitted], from the point of view of your ideological reviewers, is that the empirical results do not provide much support for Critical Race Theory. The rejection ... is more akin to political censorship than scientific review."

New Post, link in reply. In which accomplished sociologist Arthur Sakamoto, @sakamoto_arthur, sends a letter protesting the rejection of his submitted paper for apparently ideological reasons.

Damn. In 1915! the (then functional) @AAUP actually all-but predicted exactly what has happened: "If this profession should prove itself unwilling to purge its ranks of the incompetent and the unworthy, or to prevent the freedom which it claims in the name of science from being

The great @BrandonWarmke, doing epistemic violence of the best sort to claims that academia is just fine and is in the process of constructive self-reform. Link in reply. "Thus ends our brief tour of problems. I haven’t touched on many others. For example: 1 in 3 college

Social science needs more, not less, "epistemically violent" literature reviews. It is an excellent way to reveal how bad so many social claims are.

How many feminist academics? Nearly all. How many academics? I suspect most. How many regular humans, assuming they are paying attention and have some minimal understanding of social science and statistics? Probably most on the left and hardly anyone else.
Why is this so hard for some to understand: If I identify as a "feminist economist" or I tell you the goal of my research is to expose women's oppression, how many people would believe my gendered wage disparities analysis evaluating the strength of competing hypotheses (e.g.,

From the abstract: "effects operate through academic content and teaching rather than socialization or earnings expectations...the results show that academic fields shape students’ attitudes and that field specialization contributes to political fragmentation." Paper not yet
Studying social sciences & humanities makes students more left-leaning, controlling for initial views & major preference, driven by cultural views. Implies that if all students majored in business, college–noncollege ideological gap would shrink by 1/3 https://t.co/qbjxdFVPlr

Its not even close. And that's based on data from a few years ago, relevant because, for decades with no sign of letup, academia's trajectory has been to keep moving left, so its probably worse now.
