A lovely return visit to the UIUC quad!

I'm always happy to see my book being reviewed somewhere, but this is particularly cool! An English librarian—librarians are awesome—has selected Open Secrecy as "Book of the Month" at Oxford's Bodleian Social Science Library 🤩

🕵️ Criminal psychologists are turning their gaze to a new kind of perpetrator: environmental offenders. From illegal logging to toxic dumping, these crimes are getting the forensic attention they deserve. ✍️ @drjuliashaw.bsky.social (@uclpals.bsky.social):

Criminal psychologists are profiling a different kind of killer – environmental offenders

By understanding why people commit crimes that damage the environment, we can better hold environmental criminals accountable.

There are definitely differences between Good Fortune and Side Hustle Safety Net. There’s no angel in my book. But the themes of polyemployment and outsourcing of risk? ✅✅ And I’m listed before Judd Apatow in the credits. @ucpress.bsky.social @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social @asanews.bsky.social

Working with Cali press was a great experience! Highly recommended. If you're teaching tech/crim/movements/modernity related topics and assign part of my book I'm happy to zoom in to your class 👍

Just finished Yiyun Li's short story collection, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers. So good. And for me, a reminder of how much value there is in reading fiction.

I asked journal editors if they find AI-written content acceptable. Surprisingly, about half are OK with it. BUT there are big disciplinary differences & many worry about the purpose of human writing. Open access: tinyurl.com/yf6sjydb #mixedfeelings #writing #socsky #academicsky #ai

Kahneman worried that we'll fail to take action on the climate crisis because it lacks salience (the worst is yet to come) and because the specifcs are contested. Will the $ cost of the crisis make a difference? Look at this chart, which has yet to include LA. #ClimateChange, #ClimateCrisis

This is why the rhetoric of obsolescence is misguided. AI is not going to render humanities professors obsolete. AI is a permission structure to university administrators and state legislatures to continue shrinking our presence in education and defunding our research.

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ta...

We analyzed BigOil meetings with investors and analysts. Participants sometimes talk about emissions and renewables, but ignore climate change. We claim: this faux engagement with a changing world deflects climate responsibility and reproduces the status quo. #socprobs PDF: tinyurl.com/yck36k3z

This is a cool paper. States that face status anxiety from issues like colonial history cope by aligning with higher-status states and projecting stigma onto lower-status ones. Eg Japan shifts stigma onto China and Korea to reaffirm its "Western" status. Open access piece in IO: shorturl.at/kPeRT

finally a reasonable take

Liberals and the left do not need the right to
be online in the way that the right needs
liberals and the left. The nature of reactionary
politics demands constant confrontations-
literal reactions- to the left. People like Rufo
would have a substantially harder time trying
to influence opinions on a platform without
liberals. "Triggering the libs" sounds like a
joke, but it is often essential for segments of
the right. This explains the popularity of some
X accounts with millions of followers, such as
Libs of TikTok, whose purpose is to troll
liberals.
The more liberals leave X, the less value it
offers to the right, both in terms of cultural
relevance and in opportunities for trolling.
