This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

I am a huge fan of "what is this kind of argument and how can you do it right?" papers. I collect them and I've tried to write a couple, and think they can be tremendously useful especially for teaching. A new, useful addition to this set just arrived from @sociologicalsci.bsky.social:

Honored to see our research with Matteo Prato cited in @economist.com AI talent war article. We found hiring “stars” can actually hurt team performance—especially for non-stars—as stars often absorb more resources than they share. www.economist.com/business/202... doi.org/10.1287/orsc...

Interesting reflection on the need to accompany national competition in green technologies with global cooperation to solve shared environmental risks, and avoid mercantilism (a major challenge today given the protectionist push of the US).

If Trump is willing to hurt the economy, he must be getting something he wants even more in return. That thing is power. With tariffs, Trump can exercise a kind of corruption that the country hasn’t experienced in some 150 years. Read @pemalevy.bsky.social.
