A man in academia: He's amazing! He doesn't disrespect me, allows me to suggest my own ideas & even got me an unpaid internship. A woman in ac: She advocated so I'd get pay for internship, supported my mental health & gave me a kidney. But her 'hello' was cold. She might be a bitch, I don't know.

There is absolutely no reason to deport a longtime journalist who is authorized to work in the United States. The Dekalb County Sheriff's Office should not have released Mario Guevara to ICE.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By Ruben Bolling Genius. Click in.

A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book. Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

INBOX: In an op-ed, leaders of Atlanta Botanical Garden, Park Pride, and Trust for Public Land embraced Mayor Dickens' "group project" to kill the voter-approved Streetcar East Extension and move things Southside. They are now calling for building a second Eastside BeltLine along the streetcar ROW.

The Beltline is increasingly popular, and Atlanta must help it evolve

The Eastside Beltline is in desperate need of a second trail.

Lots of people are in crisis. Many of us have lost our jobs. Others been reduced to half time. The rest fear what’s coming. Education evaluation positions have been entirely eliminated at some firms. The world for thousands is radically different than it was even 3 months ago. So, yeah, this tracks.

One in twenty marta riders gave up riding on the subway in the past year, after giving it a try as COVID-19 restrictions eased up. That is a horrifying outlier compared to the rest of the nation and firmly puts Atlanta in the "transit death spiral" category.

Daily to reminder people in northern cities: Alot of the southern states would be solidly blue but many of these states make it *absurdly* difficult for black people and poor people, especially poor black people, to vote. The Shelby decision was absolutely devastating.

Without adopting this analysis, the vast majority of the studies in the meta-analysis (78.8%) misinterpret, under or overestimate, or miss nuances in discrimination for at least one identity category.

New paper out at @sociologicalsci.bsky.social! Using an audit study design, we show that in non-tech occupations, job hoppers receive fewer callbacks than those with résumés showing stable careers. For tech occupations, we find the opposite pattern: job hopping increases the probability of callback!

I’m thrilled this is out! Job seekers are often hired into their contacts’ workplaces. We show that contacts’ informal networks in their workplace help job seekers get hired, but optimal networks look different in these settings.

Let’s say you have very low sample response rate (recruit tens of millions and only tens of thousands self select into sample). Then you have a RCT where there is clean random assignment of treatment. Does the first stage sample selection bias your estimate of causal effect of treatment?

What happens to people when researchers encourage them to deactivate Facebook or Instagram for a few weeks in the lead up to an election? People get modestly* happier/less depressed/less anxious. "The Facebook effect is driven by people >35, while the Instagram effect is driven by women <25."
