This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.
They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage
Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?
Not everyone needs to, nor wants to, use LLMs in academic research, and Taylorizing the scholarly enterprise does nothing positive for the pursuit of a better understanding of society and the world.

This DOGE bro is dismissively arrogant and has no qualms about showcasing just how much of an idiot he is. Bewildering.
I own (and have read) the “Writing Ethnography” book of this series. But I wanted to read these two, too. I figure I need to make sure to learn different elements of the writing enterprise.

If you're a recent PhD with expertise in Indigenous knowledge systems, check out this cool postdoc opportunity here at UMaine through the Center for Braiding Indigenous Knowledges and Science:
Oooh, ohh, I have a new one for you! Laura did amazing ethnographic field work with drug traffickers in Central America. Her chapter on her methodology is fascinating (and I say that as a historian!)

I asked for recommendations of book-length ethnographic work in the political science realm, and here are some of them.
I've also been reading published journal articles about the value of walking while interviewing someone.
Folks, I've done walking interviews ALL THE FREAKING TIME.
I mean, we've been doing these things, perhaps not naming them in the way they are named in these articles, but seriously, GEEZ.
Is it just me or we're doing weird innovations in qualitative research or just calling them innovations when they've been there all along?
Take, for example: co-interviewing. I've seen actual published articles on co-interviewing. Folks, I've been co-interviewing ALL THE FREAKING TIME.
Solid title, I respect it @joshua-goodman.com

This is horribly self-absorbed, but I DO love how I wrote this specific skeet. AI-free, too.
I do love my writing and I’ve spent decades of my life perfecting it in several languages.
The fact that this man is an absolute dolt is terrible in and of itself. But that he used his stupidity to cancel grants is beyond any reasonable expectation.
“Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up.”

This book that combines set theoretic research (QCA) with case studies by my dear friend Carsten Q. Schneider will be very useful in my Mixed Methods course.

This book was recommended to me by my fellow human geographers to help me train my PhD students on how to do fieldwork.
Exactly. I have found myself facing this and actively working to reverse these negative effects of social media.
How much do you REALLY read, and how much of those reading materials are online and what's the proportion online/offline?
My hunch is that we are now reading A LOT of very short form material (tweets, skeets), very little in the way of articles, and books, much less in print.
This is worrisome.
I am on basically every social media platform except for Mastodon and it’s funny how everyone complains about civility of discourse on these very online roads, when they are optimized *precisely* for that: anger, negative emotions, confrontation.
I FORCE my algorithms to show me positive stuff.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
