But the key chart for the current debate around The Left is this: different forms of #antisemitism by political leanings (far left to far right) *in Berlin*. It is, frankly, shocking.

The *most debated* ballot since @foeg.bsky.social data begins: no prop has generated as many articles as the upcoming vote to cap the population. The media tone is very critical. Yet still the radical right SVP as the only major actor in favor gets the most attention www.foeg.uzh.ch/de/research/...

Soon, voters in Switzerland will decide on a far-right pop initiative to cut funding for the public broadcaster. The messaging is split. In the French-speaking area, the far-right stresses cost savings&financial relief, avoiding ideology. In the Swiss German part, it’s „slashing left-leaning media“

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

Summers called this female Chinese economist “peril.” “Yellow peril” was partially built on the claim that Chinese women were sexually immoral threats. That logic fueled the Page Act of 1875, which barred Chinese women by presuming they were prostitutes, even before the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act.

This session will feature Professor Philine Widmer (PSE), who will present her latest paper, “The Political Effects of X's Recommender Algorithm” (co-authored with Germain Gauthier, Roland Hodler, and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya). Drawing on a large-scale field experiment, Philine's work examines the effects of Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on user engagement and political beliefs. Their findings reveal that switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed not only increases engagement but also nudges users toward more conservative positions.
