C'est un petit peu mon cas, je pense. J'ai l'impression d'être naïf et d'ignorer des débats importants. Ce qui me conduis à prendre des orientations théoriques qui doivent avoir l'air absurdes pour certains.

Mais dommage pour nous! Si j'avais assez de sous...

Smart!

Le payasage théorique de la sociologie de l'anglosphère est assez distincte de celle de la France, dans mon expérience. Les manuels de licence en sociologie aux US ne dessinent pas les mêmes clivages.

Thank you!!

Mince! Tu peux l'écrire? Merci 😊

Oui j'ai cru comprendre en lisant le fil. En ce qui concerne la sociologie, ou bien les dialogues entre disciplines, il y aurait-il un texte qui résume ces débats?

Seriously, fuck off.
I say that with all due gravity.

Vous aurez une recommendation d'un bon texte qui explique bien les différents courants sociologiques en France (pragmatique, critique, etc.). Même après pas mal d'années en France, ma compréhension des délimitations reste trop basique.

Fun fact! Jolanda Jones was the first contestant voted out of Survivor: Palau in 2005, before beginning her political career.

With Grant Cuts, Trump Pressures UCLA to Make Deal Like it did for prestigious private universities, the administration has cut off federal grants for UCLA, alleging it failed to address antisemitism. The UC system must tell the DOJ by today whether i...

The UC system must not negotiate. No university should be negotiating. They should be acting as one block. I'm so angry and hurt for all of the graduate students and faculty whose research is suspended because of this. My NSF-funded PhD would have been.

Opinion | The Sweeney ad 'controversy' is cancel-culture bait — Democrats beware The Sweeney/American Eagle ad discourse offers Republicans a familiar line of attack on well-worn culture war grounds.

For @msnbc.com I wrote about the Sydney Sweeney ad and how tired I am of everyone ascribing every little social media comment from a left leaning person as an official position of the Democratic Party.

Elizabeth Warren on Why Billionaires Are Doing All They Can to Stop Zohran Mamdani Elizabeth Warren explains why billionaires are boosting Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo to keep Zohran Mamdani from becoming New York City's mayor.

Some billionaires & Wall Street CEOs can’t stand the idea of a mayor who wants them to pay their fair share to create a city that everyone can afford.

In Rolling Stone, I discuss how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will stand up to special interests & make New York work for working people.

Wokeness: a Retrospective In recent times my online sphere has had a fair few people make the claim that, in some sense, the culture has moved on from Woke. The d...

I don't know this writer, how it came across my feed, etc (DISCLAIMERS!)... but there's an attempt here to look historically back at the "woke" discourse that I found interesting if not wholly persuasive.

"It would be as if the Times’s culture desk noticed that Yanni had suddenly doubled his sales in 2025 and ran a story saying hey, Taylor Swift, lookout!"

Elon Musk is a symbol of American collapse in many ways, but one of the big ones is how for years he has constantly engaged in multi-billion-dollar securities and consumer fraud, and the "consequence" has been him making billions more, including from the federal government paying him directly.

Q&A: Why fossil scientists are suing Trump over monuments downsizing The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology joins landmark legal battle

The reality of dinosaurs is so much cooler, scarier, and awe-inspiring than the Hollywood interpretation of them.

And that’s a testament to the value of science and scientific discovery.

But the Trump administration threatens that discovery. It has downsized monuments and cut research grants.

After 3 desk rejects and 2 major rewrites (with a 17-page rebuttal (!), and cutting word count by 25%), I am pleased that my paper on policy appraisals and second-order beliefs in climate policy has found a home in @climate-policy.bsky.social: (1/) @cast-centre.bsky.social

Scientists slam Trump administration climate report as a ‘farce’ full of misinformation Experts say the report being used to justify the mass rollback of climate regulations has many claims based on long-debunked research

This article speaks for itself. But I will note that there’s been more than the usual discussion of this travesty by the USEPA among my circle of climate science colleagues. The EPA & DOE seals of approval are meaningless now.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down following funding cuts Trump’s successful campaign to strip federal money to NPR and PBS effectively ended the public media middleman.

Sterin utilisera la même stratégie que les milliardaires suprémacistes blancs aux US et cherchera à réintroduire une discussion sur les races humaines:
- dans ses médias (Crayon, Transmission, Cerfia)
- avec des scientifiques qui seront ses idiots utiles en acceptant d'en débattre (c'est une erreur)

I guess it will at least be amusing to watch the Roberts Court twist itself into knots to declare the new Texas map legal, moral, and virtuous, and the new California map a brazen perversion of democracy.
