When will Trump end the war on Christmas?!

There have been a number of survey experiments on the effect of a Trump endorsement. @mikecrespin.bsky.social and co just published one in @polbehavior.bsky.social. Chapter 7 of our book on nationalization also looks at presidents and candidate evaluations global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Gotcha. I’d never seen the “and political science” included until we were in London this month. Google was not much help, but that makes sense if it’s always been there.

Somewhat related… when did they add Political Science to end of LSE’s name…?

One advantage of being a data archive is that virtually everything we have of value can in fact be digitized. But so much of it is not. So we need researchers to let us know what they need.

I’m willing to sell out my research ethics for the right price. Who do I contact?!

Joel Sievert @jsievert.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Also a good point. I’ve yet to be subject to one of these, but know faculty who have. It’s definitely changed how people handle emails or discuss decisions.

I’ve definitely had this same though. Not with every email, but it has crossed my mind on a number of occasions.

Not sure what I expected, but it was not that 😵‍💫
