inequality and mobility, social class, higher education, women in STEM, occupations, and a bit of Alaska.
I wonder the extent to which the upward trend in the 1980s in the share of kids living w/ single moms with just HS education was driven by rise in incarceration in that period, given incarcerated dads are invisible in household surveys.
I can't think of a large data set that would have the info needed to evaluate this, given ACS, CPS, SIPP, etc exclude non-residential family members from the HH rosters.

Brilliant!
But I kinda wish it was an ad algorithm that did it. I can see how an algo might be confused b/c you use words and language in such wonderfully creative ways.
Speaking of capitalism, I laughed at the ad the AI marketing gremlins plunked after your description of human nature as "rotted-orange-soda-and-butterfat-popcorn-slurry."

"And consider this incontrovertible fact, getting married leads inevitably to one of three outcomes: divorce, widowhood, or death."
You've definitely hit on something here, Philip. Since NOT getting married only ends in one of those bad outcomes, death, staying unmarried is 3 times better than getting married.
Or, as Whiskeytown put it,
"It somehow seems to me/
Matrimony is misery /
Simply a faster way to die"
Book tour coming right up.
I have a bell pepper plant that I purchased and nurtured and fed and watered and protected from the deer and the groundhogs and the chipmunks and the slugs and the aphids and the hailstorms.
So far it has produced one (1) bell pepper. Depending on how you value my time and amortize the cost of materials, that lone bell pepper probably cost me between $300 and $500.
I never learn ... :)
Rhetoric: We're excited for the first day of classes, and to be embarking on this journey of discovery and learning together
Reality: Instructor didn't show up for son's first class of the day & year. No emergency, prof just forgot to tell students that today's class cancelled.
Can't think of a good reason for a journal to obtain reviews from 7 different reviewers and then issue a 3rd R&R on a paper. Accept it, reject it: either way, make a decision.
For most papers in social sciences, the pool of true area experts who aren't coauthors or have a CoI is not large. By Round 3 (original + 2 R&Rs), pool is likely tapped out. The editors will have as much, or nearly as much, expertise as reviewers 8 and 9.
Not going to name journal, but it's not sociology.
