@adambonica.bsky.social showed ideology predicts which agencies experience DOGE layoffs. But what other factors could be driving this? Using a generative LLM-derived measure, I find agencies perceived as knowledge institutions are more likely to experience layoffs, even controlling for ideology. 🧵

Scatterplot showing various U.S. government agencies plotted with the total staff (on a log scale) on y-axis versus likelihood of being perceived as a knowledge institution on the x-axis. Red dots indicate agencies that have experienced DOGE layoffs, while gray dots indicate agencies without layoffs. Agencies like NIH, NSF, CDC, and NOAA appear on the right side (more likely to be perceived as knowledge institutions), while agencies like ICE, DEA, and Secret Service appear on the left side (less likely to be perceived as knowledge institutions).

In my seminar today, one of my students said, “Well, I don’t know how the Internet was like in 2001.” And the rest of them shrugged as they also don’t know. How much do I tell them. 🤣

The TimeOut Magazine named a neighborhood near the University of Toronto as one of the “coolest in the world.” One of the reasons cited were the existence of these “pubs where professors, students […] grab a pint.” Yep, right, I’m sure we are very cool …🤣

Still testing if it works but there’s now an IPE/CPE feed for folks who are in polisky already! It’s ipesky or cpesky or cipesky. First time I do any of this so I’m very open to suggestions (starting from the feed’s avatar!). Please help advertising it!
