I analyzed more than 100 extremist manifestos: Misogyny was the common thread Gender identity–driven violence is the most common ideological theme across ‘lone-actor’ extremist manifestos in a recent study.

““salad bar extremism” is a mix-and-match worldview where misogyny is blended with white nationalism, anti-government sentiment and conspiratorial thinking to justify violence”

New paper with @fabriberna.bsky.social - part of my PhD thesis!

Why are the negative educational consequences of parental separation stronger among high-SES children?

→ When high-SES parents separate, they lose their ability to compensate for their child’s low genetic propensity for education 🧬👪

Saluti da Cagliari in Sardegna!

This looks like a very happy group of social scientists! @mpidr.bsky.social is having a blast at #PopDays2025 in Cagliari at the University of Cagliari. @aisp-sis.bsky.social

Also, anyone left back in Rostock is not jealous at all ... maybe only a tiny bit ... 😊

Friends, I have news.

It is very good news.

You'll just have to read it, I'm afraid.

Amen - coefficients from different (often non-linear) models don't mean the same thing, but they get compared all the time. The "effect" of interest is a marginal effect for an explicit target population, not a parameter.

Software guided workflow could help, plug into tools like marginaleffects.com
