People in this country should care about constitutional and international law precisely because it is how we respond to massacres.

The Conference of Catholic Bishops is... not playing around in this brief.

Never heard of Health Ranger. But I have heard of glyphosate.

Sorry, I just didn’t expect so much nuance attached to “abject pseudoscience”

Yeah, like how vaping is good because it’s better than cigarettes. I get it.

Are you saying glyphosate is good?

“the commons” lol

Thank you, it means a lot coming from you!

I agree with this.

We barely engage with his work. We only ever talk about his understanding of the word "function." The original idea was never to cite Parsons at all!

lol, that's fair

how did you overlay that red line on that old graph? it's great

#sociology peeps: I am organizing a section at ASA called neuroscience, cognition, and sociology. Please submit. Please pass around. Papers need not do both neuroscience and cognition...

For me, personally, the most interesting discussion is administrative. For example, whether people are entitled to an explanation for decisions that affect them; whether bureaucrat discretion is better in some circumstances; moral deskilling.

Does political philosophy count here?

Wikipedia entry for dinkus In typography, a dinkus is a typographic device or convention that typically consists of three spaced asterisks or bullet symbols in a horizontal row, e.g.   ∗ ∗ ∗   or   • • •  . The device has a variety of uses, and it usually denotes an intentional omission or a logical "break" of varying degree in a written work. This latter use is similar to a subsection, and it indicates that the subsequent text should be re-contextualized. Such a dinkus typically appears centrally aligned on a line of its own with vertical spacing before and after the device. The dinkus has been in use in various forms since c. 1850.[1][2] Historically, the dinkus was often represented as an asterism, ⁂, though this has fallen out of favor and is now nearly obsolete.

perennial reminder that this typographic thing:

Mental gymnastics meme. TOP: Regression mental gymnastics. The effect is significant...even when I adjust for...everything we have measured. BOTTOM: Causal Inference Mental Gymnastics. unmeasured confounds could explain the effect the sample might suffer from selection bias differential measurement error! SUTVA violation!
