Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Mr. Leikkaaja eli budjettipäällikkö sanoo, että maaseudun teitä ei ole varaa pitää asfaltilla Nykyinen hallitus on jo sopeutuspäätöksensä tehnyt. Seuraava ei selviä juustohöylällä vaan valtion rooli on mietittävä kokonaan uusiksi, sanoo Mika Niemelä.

I ran a simple model with new public data then used 1 prompt to make ChatGPT guess what the model would produce. With 10 seconds of "thinking," it was very close. The implications of this are catastrophic. The American Sociological Association should do something about this but it doesn't care to

Israel blocked his Middle East role. Now, Haavisto becomes UN envoy to Sudan Last year Israel rejected Haavisto's bid to become UN Middle East coordinator due to the Secretary-General's criticism of the war in Gaza.

Today, Europe’s energy system is cleaner, much more diverse - and much more stable than a few years ago.

Yet the developments in the Middle East remind us once again of the risks of relying still too much on fossil fuels.

"In the exploration frame, you approach the LLM as a medium for thinking. You’re not trying to get answers out; you’re trying to rotate your own understanding, encounter projections you couldn’t generate yourself, iterate toward clarity through dialogue."

The train has left the station: Agentic AI and the future of social science research | Brookings A new era of agentic AI agents has begun. What does it mean for social scientists? Solomon Messing and Joshua Tucker discuss.

Are you a social scientist who has been hearing about Claude Code but hasn't checked it out yet? Or are you a social scientist who has been playing with Claude Code and has been wondering what it means for the future of social science research?

Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies Our new poll finds question wording can swing opinion by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights. That's a problem for people who use polls to tell politicians what voters want.

New post!

That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living.
