The power of framing pales in comparison to the raw unadulterated power of agenda setting.

You dear reader are allowed to complain about Biden being an old dinosaur till kingdom come but The Institutions have completely lost the plot and therein is where the blame lies. Agenda-setting is goddamned powerful!

The medias obsession (not Greg) w insider party politics at expense of covering fascist chickenshits is how democracy dies. Ordinary ppl are only as good as small-d democrats as their news environment permits, and mainstream media would rather focus on Bidens age than murderous fascists.

yeah, we'll see what happens after the immunity decision...hoping to get our fatalism questions back out again in the field in several weeks. We've started tinkering with the question wording for the locus-of-control Qs, and I think we'll pull some additional sorting on C-E with the changes.

i think the code is smoother in R, personally, but its clear enough with some work. the bigger issue imo is the scaling and kernaling in Stata doesn't always look great when printing to .pdf.

nice little write-up here by @uptonorwell.bsky.social. in particular, the catplot command is one of Stata's better work-around for paired-grouping histograms, although you're bound by "bar-axis" options, which deploy a weird syntax suite that isnt super intuitive

And for all the people who are like “well what could he do to change the narrative he spoke at a rally!” I don’t know how to say nicely “he still looks like shit…bc he’s 80 damn years old! It’s hard being old!” They made us a shit sandwich and are asking everyone to politely eat it.

I’d bet the family farm that the GOP threatening to sue spooked the shit out of them + the only way for Kamala to step in would be Biden willingly resigning and he’s got way too much hubris to do that.

Yeah based on some of our work I’d guess the floaters are most persuaded by abstract appeals — the actual anti-democratic content of the behavior is irrelevant in the face of siren calls to save democracy from that rascal dictator biden (hurr hurr, but seriously that’s the shit one hears)

Which is why, with enough irony to sink a ship, trump does better on “democracy polling” — democracy as a cleavage point where one party is so instrumentally opposed to it in practice is pretty wild but here we are

this is 100% correct -- the only remotely workable options at this point are Biden or Harris, and reaching closure about this and ending the discussion as soon as possible is the most important thing that needs to happen

Important read on Meta science, metascience, and how Meta has leveraged academic collaborations for PR purposes. Against the backdrop of these industry friendly findings and a collaboration with CoS, Meta is clawing back independent researcher data access.

Planning to cancel 2 of the 3 periods because we can say what we need to say in about five minutes: This Roberts Court has created a king, and, as such, law is simply post hoc rationalization for crimes. Dismissed.

If the lower court understood the present moment, this would be its response: "The court is surprised this needs to be said, but anything related to a coup attempt is not an official act. That includes all of the conduct in the indictment. Trial begins September 1st."

Establishment Democratic electeds - I don’t know what else you want to call them, normies, ignoramuses, whatev - are so woefully unsuited for this peculiar political moment that you can’t help but feel fatalistic. Is there no one in any position of power in this admin who will forgo the Old Norms?

I’m sure that the good folks returning to work this morning at the WH are living their own version of grim despair, and I keep trying to remind myself “they’re probably doing the best they feel they can,” but what an exasperated sense of fatalism over the normal politics response.

All it took was a bunch of illegitimate clerics and a sitting President who wouldn’t force their hand. The most frustrating part of the post-decision landscape is that the WH will take this beating and not go nuclear.

Few things are more irritating than knowing Biden will likely run away with the popular vote but that the election - and to some extent the rule of law itself - will come down to several thousand voters in a select number of weird states. We live in a deeply stupid democracy.
