When was Dave Rubin leftist??

WhatsApp deactivation experimental results in Brazil, India, and South Africa mirror those from prior social media studies: big changes in content exposure -> minimal changes in attitudes, decreases in political knowledge, increases in subjective wellbeing www.venturatiago.com/talk/vmtn_wh...

i mean there’s a guy from a Dutch far-right group sitting in custody right now on terror and weapons offences and another foiled neo-Nazi attack on Eurovision 2020 where the guy planned on using chemicals like cyanide and ricin but ok tweede kamer

Super cool position opening up at the super cool department! If you have any questions about the PhD life at CEVIPOL (or know someone who might have them), feel free to reach to out to me:)

Below more information on the research note on how citizens view their political opponents, I have had a pleasure to work on with brilliant colleagues @eelcoharteveld.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social and @jnareal.bsky.social.

Trend that was visible in previous polls continues: VVD losing support while CDA is gaining. PVV slightly ahead of GL/PvdA and CDA. Beyond these four parties, others are below 10% (D66 and JA21) or 5% (another 9 parties)

Traditional problem of political theory. Who fact-checks the fact-checker?

On Tuesday, Ill be discussing four exciting papers on the far right and illiberalism. They will be presented by @piotrmarczynski.bsky.social @larboe.bsky.social @javidibad.bsky.social and @tevoelker.bsky.social

Thanks! Will check for other countries!

Question to my followers and #polisky at large. I have data for MPs from Greece, Poland, Belgium and Finland in the period (2019-2023). I am looking for MP-level variables that capture seniority in the party and if it is a new/safe seat. Is there dataset like this? Any tips welcome:)

Great read and wonderful example of incorporating insights from media studies and political communication to address traditional political science questions. I believe that the self-identification as centrist combined with extreme policy views is indicative of algorithmic division of political space

Lives up to the hype! The book shows the authoritarian structure of corporation in action. With Facebook employees withholding bad news from the leadership and rushing to like all their Facebook posts (they usually wrote), the parallels with dysfunctional authoritarian systems are striking.

The 13th edition of this annual polsci conference — hosted by
ABSP & ‪@vpw-politicologie.bsky.social‬ — brings together scholars from across subfields to explore Belgium’s polity, politics & policy‪

Quite a strong final statement: "Descriptive research is important and it is a pity that the general obsession with causal estimates disincentivizes researchers from attempting to publish careful and detailed description."

Organizing summer schools surely is a lot of work, but getting to know all these *amazing* junior scholars and learning about their work 💯% makes it worth it!! Can’t wait to see their work come out in top journals!

Many thanks to @rlachat.bsky.social and @rdassonneville.bsky.social for organising the event and to all great speakers! I'm happy I got to spend a week in Paris getting to know a bunch of smart and kind people and learning about their research.

Racist AI-generated videos are the newest slop garnering millions of views on TikTok

The real danger here to me would not be that people are misled into thinking this is not AI. However, flooding internet with dehumanizing images endangers desensitizing as further to what we see online. I hope Google will have a look at how Veo3 gets used, before integrating it with Youtube Shorts.

Looking forward to welcome the participants of the 2025 CERIUM-FMSH summer school, on Challenges to Electoral Democracy. With @rdassonneville.bsky.social , @fondationmsh.bsky.social, @cerium-udem.bsky.social

Why Zohran Mamdani’s victory matters far beyond New York There are clear lessons for Democrats across the country

The crux of coverage on the primary win of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social focuses (understandably) on the implications it has for Democrats in the age of Trump. 2.0. However, the postulate of 'affordability' applies to the broader context of big cities becoming to expensive to live in.

The real 5G conspiracy: How Londoners are being lied to about their phone signal Plus: We reveal how much the capital's councils actually make from festivals in their parks.

Back from London, I started searching for explanations why my internet signal was so bad during my stay. I think I found the reason. I love that the real 5G conspiracy is misleading people you can actually connect to it.

🥩 Great to listen to @manesweisskircher.bsky.social presenting our new joint venture on how the far right mobilises against lab-grown meat at the @ecpr-ead.bsky.social conference in London! 🍗

The entire special issue looks amazing! Congrats to authors and editors:)
