The 1937 Census and the Limits of Stalinist Rule on JSTOR

The President of United States firing the commissioner of the statistics bureau because the unemployment numbers are not good reminds me of that classic Stalin moment, executing the statisticians because they reported too many deaths the 1937 census

Maybe AI might fix my inserted table that refuses to stay put - or the table of contents that goes rogue every time I update a heading 📝 🖥️💨🪟

The new reality of climate change. It's raining in Germany, and the tabloid BILD headlines “This summer is an outrage.”
The data: So far, the summer has been fairly sunny, very warm, and rather dry.

There’s always another great new R package 📦 - at least to me.
admittedly, I have yet to test {ggview} in an actual project, but a first test drive impressed me!

Wir müssen nicht drüber reden, was rechtlich geht und was nicht: Jeder, der Familie hat fände es wohl schrecklich seine Kinder, Eltern für 2, 4, 6 oder 8 Jahre nicht zu sehen. Das solche Argumente gar nichts mehr zählen, ist Ausdruck einer Gesellschaft, die Empathie verloren hat. #Familiennachzug

So sehr ich „strukturell etwas anzupassen“ unterstütze: es ist eine unmittelbare Verschlechterung, die allen weh tut, die gerne mit Kindern Bahn fahren. Das kann man schon direkt anprangern finde ich, auch weil die zusätzlichen Einnahmen doch überschaubar sein dürften.

Who gets the privilege of free time? Across Europe, fathers enjoy more leisure time than mothers, especially in Southern and Eastern countries. New research across 13 countries shows persistent gender gaps in parental leisure. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

In Naumburg kamen Beamte in die Schule, um die 10-Jährige Nadira aus dem Sportunterricht mitzunehmen. Zur Abschiebung. Nadira weinte, krallte sich an die Lehrerin fest, flehte um Hilfe. Chancenlos. Die ganze syrische Familie in den Flieger nach Bulgarien.
Na, fühlt ihr euch durch sowas sicherer?

Die Grafik zeigt die 12 Kreise in Deutschland, in denen es mehr jüngere als ältere deutsche sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigte gibt.
📍 Ausländische Arbeitskräfte spielen eine immer wichtigere Rolle bei der Abfederung des Arbeitskräftemangels: Ihre Anzahl ist seit 2015 über alle Anforderungsniveaus hinweg gestiegen. Der demografische Wandel verstärkt das Problem des sinkenden Arbeitskräftepotenzials: doku.iab.de/kurzber/2025...

„Solange der Bahnhof dort ist, wird die Verkehrssituation so bleiben, wie sie ist, eine Vielzahl parkender Busse, Taxis, Pkw, Fahrräder, dazu Werbetafeln und Wartehäuschen, die die Blickbeziehung Stadt/See stören bzw gänzlich zustellen“
‚Der Bahnhof ist an den Autos schuld‘ - eigenwilliges Argument

It's bonkers that in academic science we spend hours obsessing over the wording of a paper, but often only one person has seen the code that produced the results! 2/N

Als 2018 in Ungarn die Geschlechterstudien verboten wurden, erklärten Geschlechterforscher*innen immer wieder geduldig, dass das alle besorgen sollte, weil es ein 1 brutales ideologisches Signal der Regierung war. Das Echo war damals, sagen wir, eher verhalten. #Wissenschaftsfreiheit
