For those who want to read informed, more local voices on Russia’s war against Ukraine, good starting points are @KyivIndependent and its editors and staff, especially @olya_rudenko and @berdynskykh_k. Look also at the work of @olgatokariuk @maxseddon @nolanwpeterson.

64% of Americans who are now working from home at least some of the time but rarely or never did before the pandemic say it’s easier now for them to balance work with their personal life. pewrsr.ch/3GTDNw5
Truly amazing that voters put up with this. Millions of tax dollars spent on advertising a failing cyber charter to parents as a successful school.

Tomorrow's news today! A fascinating talk with @LehighU's Ziad Munson about the possible impacts in PA of the coming SCOTUS ruling on Mississippi's law severely limiting abortion rights in that state. @zmunson @WLVRNews wlvr.org/2021/12/could-roe-v…

The increasingly sophisticated tactics used by anti-abortion activists include manipulation, deception and misleading phrases.
@5050oD asked Dr @zmunson, Dr Kimberly Kelly and Dr Katrina Kimport why the term ‘crisis pregnancy’ is problematic: bit.ly/31KJpcX
Did I miss a memo? Is "Hebrew Israelite" now the journalist euphemism for someone who keeps kosher? Or is that a CNN exclusive? And it isn't just in the title... cnn.com/2021/06/03/us/ohio-f…
Okay, how does a newbie modify @MaggieAppleton's CSS for @RoamResearch so that links to pages whose name starts with "z:" have their own color? Can't figure it out, even after discussing in @RoamStack office hours! @CultRoam @RoamBrain @roamhacker

As an aside, we should not call a study "massive" just because it has a large N (200 mil in this case). It was very shallow. Would have been more massive if it had only analyzed 1 million papers, but also used other forms of evidence. sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/…
Hillbilly Elegy stands in a long, sordid line of blaming the poor

Equipment failure has shut down EVERYTHING at @LehighU. All online systems, phones, even physical building access. Didn't know this needed to come from a sociologist, but here it is: If a single point of failure shuts down your whole system, then you need a different system.
The illogic of false equivalence may be modern American journalism's original sin. @onthemedia @nytimes

A piece I did a few days ago on RBG, Barrett, Roe v. Wade, and the Supreme Court. Shoulda posted on Monday, but I see now that I forgot; I'm still figuring out the self-referential ethos of Twitter: usatoday.com/story/opinion/2…
"Our culture-- media, the educational system-- tries to crowd out of our political consciousness everything except who will be elected President and who will be on the Supreme Court, as if these are the most important decisions we make. They are not." 1/2
"They deflect us from the most important job citizens have, which is to bring democracy alive by organizing, protesting, engaging in acts of civil disobedience that shake up the system." 2/2 -Howard Zinn (2005): progressive.org/op-eds/howar…
