- Reposted by Sebastian SchnettlerI just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

- Reposted by Sebastian SchnettlerThanks, @olsonkm.bsky.social, for highlighting our paper. This was fun to write because it forced us to really think deeply about the connection between self-reports and sensor data, and it helped me clarify my own thinking about how we can combine the two.
- Long ago and faraway (3 years ago???), it seemed like smartphones were a newfangled technology for collecting data. @floriankeusch.bsky.social & Fred Conrad’s research synthesis of what kinds of information can and should be collected using smartphones is a great article. doi.org/10.1093/jssa...

- Neue Studie zur Medienstrategie der AfD legt nahe, dass die AfD-Erfolge auf TikTok überschätzt werden. Was zum Erfolg beigetragen habe, sei die Reichweitenverstärkung durch etablierte Medien und Zivilgesellschaft. Daraus lasse sich ein Plädoyer für Zurückhaltung ableiten.
- "We know of no systematic sociological review that articulates the logics of case construction in qualitative research. This article begins to address this absence." Thanks! This @AnnualReviews article sounds like a very useful resource for my next qual res methods class.

- Happy to share my new open access article on the Trivers-Willard effect in our upcoming special issue of Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie on "Biosocial approaches in sociology". Potentially of interest for bioevo and inequality researchers. rdcu.be/dU8AO

Arbeitskr. spricht & einer schleppenden Digitalisierung in D seid ihr unsere Hoffnung. Bleibt noch ein bisschen!

- Developments long predicted by demographers & social scientists are increasingly being felt on a day-to-day basis. Same here: these days, the kindergarten group of our youngest son is closed several days a week. And that's only one of many life domains where labor shortages can be felt these days.

- Cas Mudde on NL election w/important lession also for German politics: "... it has happened over and over again... If you make...elections about...issues of the far right, notably the 'problem' of immigration, the far right wins." Unfortunately, parties in DE seem to be making the same mistake.

- In letzter Zeit ein seltenes Erlebnis mit der Bahn, daher erwähneswert ;-) "Sehr geehrte Fahrgäste, wir haben jetzt schon Stendal erreicht. 5 Minuten vor der geplanten Ankunftszeit."
- Reposted by Sebastian SchnettlerMuch of the discussion of open science centers on detecting fraud or errors, but a big, and arguably bigger, benefit is in efficiency. Take the simple example of code. How much collective time is lost when scholars start from scratch, rather than building (w/ attribution) on other scholars' code?
