The thing is that while this did surface my work quite literally it did not surface expertise.
No but seriously are the straits ok?
Excited to offer this (hopefully helpful) intervention to citizenship studies, illustrating conceptual differences in democratic and authoritarian citizenship. The goal is to provide a framework for clearer comparative analysis and understanding changes such as democratic erosion
NEW UDL BOOK Coming August 1!
Okay, friends, I'm excited. *UDL at Scale* has a cover & an August 2026 release date.
Watch for the @oupress.bsky.social pre-order web site to go live at the end of March.
Who wants one? And who wants me to visit or give a webinar?
The inverse of this for me is probably Under the Volcano, unquestionably one of the best books I've ever read but about which I remember basically nothing
fwiw I'm not sure The Power and The Glory quite breaks into the *best* top 10 books I've ever read, but it's easily top 2 or 3 books I still think about unprompted years later
I think you can just buy yourself one, as a treat
*Yes, I'm aware I'd need to first naturalize and win an internal election in this unlikely scenario but see I've already looked into it, that's precisely not the kind of lazy ambition you want, that's the problem.
As a highly unqualified American who is somewhat distantly but yet actually* in line for one of these free passes into your upper house, I think *any* effort to prevent me from doing just that is good policy.
It's not like I'm going to say no if you ask me to, I am that vain and foolhardy.
If it turned out anything like a Trinidad Sour, I'm in. If it didn't...I'm certainly curious to hear the details
I am excited about this new paper, Negativity & Misinformation, just out with @cbwlezien.bsky.social in @polcommjournal.bsky.social: "durable biases in information processing, by media organizations and humans more generally, can produce misinformation and misperceptions..." doi.org/10.1080/1058...
Hecker tried to lead an army to overthrow Baden in 1848 and failed, ended up a general in the Union army
And the fun thing with folk traditions is the ease of adapting:
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
Karlsruhe stood so that Chattanooga could fall
I would argue with this...if I didn't have at least a couple former student followers who've seen me go off on a Friedrich Hecker tangent in various classes.
We who have recently gotten into overthrowing the July Monarchy salute you
You all know by now I'm skeptical information can make immigration popular. But my friend @landgravephd.bsky.social challenged me to find an exception, and we did: nobody knows how US legal immigration works, so spreading the word changes minds.

Fair cop
Le carréxpert is great but "Control freak" was right there
“He’s joking” “he misspoke”
You do not get to do that when you have power. You get more responsibility, not less!!
I love TG2G in general but I one time did a €3.99 bakery bag from Dirk and it was just literally 11 full loaves of not quite expired bread. Amazing deal if you eat 30-50 sandwiches a day. (60-100 sandwiches if you are Dutch)
This story is inherently moderately suppressed simply because any of us posting under our government names have to pause and respond as members of a society, and not as our hearts or minds or the holy spirit would ask of us.
I am still angry that my hometown, on the other side of Portland from the High-A Hillsboro Hops, failed in its bid to shortly thereafter get the Single-A team that would have been the Milwaukie Microbrewers
There are more and more stories now of how Trump will unilaterally declare victory and go home. It bears saying that Iran will have a say in whether that will the end of the war as far as they are concerned.

Administrative democratic defence ⚔️
@jmvanlit.bsky.social uses elite interviews from the Netherlands to argue that administrative democratic defence requires continued awareness and action to prevent #Autocratisation and sustain resilience 🛡️
there are plenty of moral/ethical reasons to not like prediction markets but the thing that's most interesting to me is the way that they are a machine that destroys trust. by democratizing insider trading everyone assumes the fix is always in. it's corrosive! www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Chotiner: So you can save any form of life, at any point in time or space?
Doctor: A few events are locked, but yes, it's a gift and also a terrible burden.
C: And most lifeforms needing rescue are in 20th or 21st century Great Britain?
D: I'm going back to get you kicked out of journalism school
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
Our gratitude to everyone but I have to say in particular to Glen, well-done
