I walked myself to school in Brooklyn through what is now a historic district from the age of 7
It's sad that anyone would vote to preserve unsafe streets and deny that freedom to kids today
VOTE YES ON 3
Village Preservation recommends a âNOâ on ballot question no. 3, which NYC voters will soon be deciding upon. Find out why we think this will lead to worse outcomes for neighborhoods + city, removing important checks + balances from decision-making: villagepreservation.org/campâŚ

Bari Weiss pushed CBS to link Abdul El-Sayed to the September 11 attacks and place James Talarico at a mental health center in Ohio when he was sick with the flu
Link in following post
Andy Guess retweeted
I encourage people to watch the video and hear for themselves that El-Sayed says he âabsolutelyâ denounces the Muslim Brotherhood, and goes on to explain that he supports the Constitution. Whatâs more newsworthy is a CBS reporter trafficking in bigoted disinformation.

Listening to @UpFirst podcast increases trust in podcast news + NPR but that doesnât spill over into trust in news more generally. Glad this paper w/ @junghwanyang @simonsaysnothin @p_barbera is out!
Randomizing uptake of NPR's @UpFirst podcast for 5 days increases news consumption & knowledge of events (esp. among more right-leaning voters), trust in NPR, etc but not trust in the news more generally; no effect on attitudes or political beliefs. An @andyguess et al. joint

Query for poli sci faculty: we are considering implementing Zoom interviews during our grad admissions process this year. I was just wondering if your department had implemented interviews, and if so, how did you implement them, and how has the process gone? Thanks in advance.

Interesting and welcome trial balloon here:
- LLM use is fine/assumed for authors
- Eds require an LLM "report" on the qualities of the manuscript which is provided to them by the authors based on a template the Eds design.

They're old enough to remember the original Port Huron Statement, not the compromised second draft.

There are a lot of eyes on Cornell right now. Itâs moments like this where having an independent student press is most important, but doing that work has never been more difficult. Please support The Cornell Sun in its mission for truth and accountability.

White nationalism has become more visible in American life, especially online. Yet we know surprisingly little about how many white Americans explicitly endorse it. In a new @Nature paper with Patrick Egan and Joshua Tucker, we examine its prevalence and predictors.

When you can't get IRB ethics approval from the university but you really want to do a study, I guess you can just go to Netflix now
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has announced "The New Stanford Prison Experiment," an unscripted series streaming Oct. 21.
"Thirty willing participants enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. Thrust into a system of power, hierarchy, and control, theyâll discover whether ordinary people inevitably conform to the roles theyâre givenâor whether empathy, morality, and individuality can withstand the forces pushing them in the opposite direction. As the pressure builds and the balance of power begins to shift, the central question feels more urgent than ever: Does power corrupt?"

Nearly every day toward the end of my tenure at The Washington Post, someone would complain to me about Jeff Bezos' changes. His decimation of the local news team. His abandonment of DC sports coverage. The shriveled Bezos opinion page, with the ideological diversity of a doorknob.
Today, The Washington Sun launches. It has made enormous new investments:Â +110 newsroom staff; DC's legendary food columnist; truly the best DMV reporters; a beloved weather blog; a growing roster of columnists; tons of worldclass reporters across many national beats; and also me.
The Washington Sun will not be perfect. We will write stories that you find annoying, dumb, or misinformed. I will make mistakes (& tell me if I do - [email protected]!). But at a time where investments in reporting are evaporating, I'm so excited The Sun is hiring real journalists doing real reporting.
If you want to help, I would love if you signed up for our (free!) newsletters, which routinely get genuinely rave reviews:

The Senate committee responsible for commerce and technology policy has zero hearings on AI scheduled for the next 4 months.
The committee's top priority is, instead, the Protect College Sports Act.

The smuggled implication (that "changing the subject" to xrisk distracts from immediate harms) is false: in fact it raises people's concern about immediate harm a little more than talking about immediate harms does
