This looks amazing! Is this the work you will present when you come to Illinois? I hope so--I want to hear all about it!

Yeah, we're definitely weighing whether it would just be a waste of time but are tempted because it's also a "big name" journal.

NSF's Social, Behavioral and Economic Directorate has awarded only 16 grants since October. No big budget cuts went through. No freeze. The courts have acted to keep funds flowing at every turn. The money just isn't going out. Why...? 1/x source: grant-witness.us/funding_curv... 🟦🧠 #academicsky
A line graph showing awards over time at NSF's SBE. The line for this year, 2026, is extremely FLAT compared to prior years. By this time in 2025, 179 grants had been awarded. In 2021, it was 243. This year... 16.

How about we make police carry liability insurance so the city doesn't have to cover the millions a year ($100 million in 2024, I believe) in lawsuits against the CPD? Nah, let's just raise property taxes again.

One of my students just wrote me the best note a teacher can get, and I'm bawling. Amidst all the ChatGPT generated papers, sometimes students remind you exactly why you love teaching, so I couldn't resist sharing a little piece of what they wrote ❤️

Actually did have a student who I caught (and admitted to) using AI ask if I could come up with an alternative assignment for them to do to make up the points they lost for cheating on the first one 🙄

But yes, I also know that's not what everyone means when they say "defund." That's another part of the issue: there was no widespread agreement on what activists meant when they said "defund," and it was therefore portrayed as a radical stance rather than a reasonable one.
010
Stefan Vogler @svogler.bsky.social · 27/04/2025
While I don't disagree, I also have a new paper coming out soon that shows that when you tell people what "defund the police" actually means (i.e., move money from police to social services), there is much higher support for it.

I'm convinced some editors don't even read papers before sending them out for review. Some I get are so bad that there's no legitimate way they should have been sent for review. A big reason for reviewer burnout rn, I think.

Agreed, though I did think the finale was a little underwhelming.

Oops, I misinterpreted the chart! It shows that conservatives don't trust sociology. But my point still stands about conservatives within sociology (and conservative "scientists" outside of it, for that matter).

Oops! Read it wrong. My bad!

Stefan Vogler @svogler.bsky.social · 15/04/2025
The thing is, the reason we don't trust conservatives in sociology is because the empirical evidence rarely supports conservative viewpoints. The reason many sociologists are "liberal" is not because we are ideologues; it is because we follow the evidence.

SCOTUS right now.
A two-panel meme using a cartoon flower character. In the top panel, the flower is angrily yelling, with the caption: "WHEN A BAKER IS ASKED TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A GAY COUPLE." In the bottom panel, the same flower is smiling calmly, with the caption: "WHEN PEOPLE ARE BLACK BAGGED AND SENT TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN EL SALVADOR." The meme contrasts public outrage over LGBTQ+ rights with apathy toward human rights abuses.

A Supreme Court Justice who rules that President Biden can’t forgive student loan debt without an act of Congress, and rules that President Trump and Not An Official Position Musk can cancel any Congressionally-enacted spending they personally dislike, that Justice clearly isn’t ruling based on law.

Lots of traders will. But also, Trump crashes the economy and his rich friends pick up the pieces for cents on the dollar solidifying their oligarchy. I think that’s the real plan.
