Watching Rollergames - A 1989 show combining roller-derby, fake-wrestling, cheerleaders, and *alligators*. Also, apparently, predicting the future. youtu.be/Cwk6ffGStyY?t=2301
Before moving to the US 20+ yo me thought tenure was spelled "tenyear" bcs of how long it takes to get. Today I received a letter informing me I am now officially tenyeared. I think past me would have been thoroughly impressed to learn it only took me half that time to get there.
I know we always say "we're excited" about pubs but this one really is unique. Officially we worked on it for a year or two, but it is actually the result of a decade of discussions (well, arguments) between me and
@ophiryotam. If you're interested in framing give it a read!

This is an effort from 11 scholars to make sense of 2020 through a 11-wave panel of 9K respondents. In a 488 page book, there are tons of findings, but a few select ones:
It took 6 years but I actually finally followed-through on a “future researchers should” paragraph (from my first publication, no less). The paper, (with @ophiryotam @MeredithPruden @GuyGolan) analyzing the framing of 55 foreign countries, is now out at: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Give it a read here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Or take a look at @OphirYotam ’s thread on the main findings with some cool visualizations:

Saddest news. I don't think there is a book I read more times than his introduction to content analysis.
Klaus was one of the best professors I ever had, an amazing mentor, a person you can always turn to for advice, and the best Santa Klaus.
Thank you for the pic Dominik!

If you are interested in health misinformation and/or political extremism, check out our new publication on the vaccine discourse in white nationalist online spaces. This was a fascinating corpus to look at, but even more important (1/2)
This is, surprisingly, the first publication to include all members of our awesome small research team with
@aysed_9 @MeredithPruden and @ophiryotam. Many more to come in 2022 (2/2)
