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 🤩

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

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
