Many of the NYT critics on here have canceled their subscriptions so many times, and just refuse to read it on principle, but still compete to attack it constantly, so they just dunk on headlines for stories they haven't read and it's just noise

I think this is actually the definition of a smear: his politics clearly are not antisemitic, anti-feminist or anti-trans. What they use against him instead is his rude style of argument and self-aggrandizing personality -- to attack his politics.

"The world as it exists is just one historically contingent possibility; we can, collectively, create new possibilities and new social worlds. That’s not a radical postmodernist idea. It’s Max Weber."

Maybe journals should report when the papers they publish are reviewed by people whose papers they always reject.

It would be interesting to hear Obama make any comment on the war.

Midweek @onthemedia.bsky.social podcast, where I heard philosopher C. Thi Nguyen conclude: don't live your life to accumulate stuff, but rather "to be engaged in beautiful doing." E.g., playing games. Engaging discussion, but at the end I realized he never mentioned doing anything for anyone else.

Attn: American Sociological Association @asanews.bsky.social: "When both original data and code were shared, the reproducibility rate was 91%, but this dropped to just 38% in cases in which reanalysis required reconstructing both data sets and analysis steps." I wonder why.

People (like me) use sci-hub and libgen when friction from legit library services is intolerable. That friction is caused by layers of gatekeeping tech colliding with each other in my browser even as they bankrupt libraries. More effort to crush alternative services is one approach to fixing this.

Micah Altman and I used the Colorado detransition case as an example of degrading the role of expert consensus in our @theconversation.com essay.
