This is up there with "direct cash payments are so much more effective than means tested welfare" as one of the many frustrating things about being a social scientist: the question is settled! We don't need any more studies! We just need to actually do this.

Humoring conservatives & acting like they make good points over the last 30 years brought us here. You never have to listen to them for the rest of our lives. It's time to treat career arsonists with the contempt they've earned instead of imagining a fake world where they're reasonable interlocutors

***URGENT PLEASE SHARE*** University of Brighton management have announced today that they ‘give notice of termination of all collective agreements’. This is a fundamental erasure of workers' rights. Management have announced the termination of all contractual documents, which includes:

People say variations of this a lot, but it's just empirically not true. The vast majority of revolutions and radical social movements in the world were led by/primarily constituted with poor/oppressed people. Indeed, often the "hanging on by a thread" is exactly what prompts the movement!

Once you've granted the idea that it's dangerous to allow trans kids to play organized sports, you're already 99% of the way to agreeing to bathroom bans. You've stipulated to the transphobes' central argument.

Bsky is the ultimate liberal site because you get suspended for posting an inoffensive depiction of the Haitian revolution in a move that is obviously 100% based on racism, but it's not as ~gauche~ as twitter, so it's fine. This website is basically The Resistance (TM)

The older I get, the more I shift from a scientific/academic Marxism to a "one precious life" Marxism b/c how do we tolerate a system where we continually get "worked hard and saved your whole life? Let's spin the big wheel and...nope, you have to go back to work and don't even get a retirement."

Rare time I have to disagree with the hippo -- McCarthy dragged people in front of congress and then imprisoned them and destroyed their lives. This is actually pretty mild compared to what HUAC was up to. Trump and his ilk suck shit, but let's not let them force us to forget history.

My great-grandfather was among the first Jews sent to Dachau, but it had operated for 8 years prior. He arrived to find a concentration camp already full of communists and other leftist dissidents. The public's acceptance of their incarceration paved the road for his own.

the lesson of the second Trump presidency is the President can do whatever the fuck he wants and the next democratic president will have a lot of explaining to do when they pretend they've been thwarted by the Senate Parliamentarian or whoever

Being an admin means never have to face any scrutiny, but sure would love if someone could ask them why we're in dire financial straits one minute and on solid footing the next. Seems like you can't be both of those things at the same time, but I guess that's why I don't make the big bucks.

"Northumbria offered staff between £8,000 & £12,000 to transfer to the USS. THE estimates that the university will therefore spend between £4 million and £6 million on staff payouts as part of the scheme, meaning that it will save nothing in the first year." Stealing our pay for no actual benefit!

the way to understand their complaints about the party being too woke is that it’s a bunch of half-dead octogenarians who can’t live with the reality of their complete and utter failure as stewards of the state and so have instead decided to blame their own voting base. i can’t wait for them to die

📣 The difference between replicable and not replicable is not itself scientifically replicable. 📣 New work with Erkan Buzbas, showing that verdicts such as "X% of results replicated" are based on an inferential machinery that doesn't work. arxiv.org/abs/2604.26268
Screenshot of a paper's title page. Title: "The Difference Between 'Replicable' and 'Not replicable' is not Itself Scientifically Replicable". Authors: Berna Devezer and Erkan O. Buzbas, both at the University of Idaho — Devezer in the Department of Business and the Institute for Modeling Collaboration and Innovation, Buzbas in the Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science. Authors contributed equally. Corresponding author: bdevezer@uidaho.edu.
Abstract: Replication studies estimate the replicability rate of scientific results by aggregating binary verdicts of experiments. Exact replications are rarely attainable, so most replication sequences are non-exact. Experiments differ in ways that matter and do not share a single common data-generating process. We formalize two statistical interpretations of this non-exactness. In a shared latent rate model (benchmark), experiments are exchangeable and depend on a common random replicability rate. In a conditionally independent rates model (operational), each experiment has its own replicability rate drawn independently from a population distribution. Under the shared latent rate model, even small variability among replicability rates induces an irreducible variance floor on the estimated mean replicability rate that cannot be eliminated by adding more replications. Under the conditionally independent rates model, the degree of non-exactness is not identifiable from standard replication data, because one binary verdict per experiment contains no information about between-experiment heterogeneity. Researchers therefore cannot tell which precision regime they are operating in or whether high- and low-replicability sequences can be distinguished in principle. As a result, the usual data structure of one binary verdict per experiment cannot support reliable demarcation between "replicable" and "not replicable" results and systematically understates uncertainty, making high- and low-replicability sequences appear discrim…

Every lib/centrist party in the world thinks austerity will show they're tough and clear-eyed & will win them support from the right, while study after study proves doing so only helps the far right. Only two possible conclusions: lib/center pols are very stupid and/or they agree with the far right.
