I am reading in some comp sci and math papers the phrase "authors contributed equally and have the right to list their names as first author on their CV." Is this something you can do in polisci?

I just finished office hours. 4 students asked me how to prep for nuclear war / civil war after election. Apparently other professors have caused them to believe this is the likely outcome. I appreciate this is a tense period, but let's not do this to students.

Hot take: If my daughter was convicted of a felony, and I had the lawful power to pardon her, I would do it. But I would not make up a BS, reason. Performative nonsense is what is wrong with dem elites right now. Just be honest.

It is rare for a rebel group to act so politically astute, controlling banks, accepting pm surrender and political messaging, etc. This seems like something someone with covert operations experience would advise them on. I hope it's CIA, but if not, it's concerning

This is bad for the US and represents a policy failure. We must unite our allies on this. reuters.com/world/uk/brita…

I'm thrilled to be the recipient of a grant from Schmidt Futures to study the implications of Artificial Intelligence for terrorists and other armed groups during my sabbatical next year. If you work on anything related to this, please reach out!

This is a good outcome. Ratcliff is politically astute and an independent thinker. I think he will make a good CIA director. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…

Such an honor to win this award with Daniel Krcmaric and Michael Goldfien. This PDB data is so rich that we won an award with summary statistics! Special thanks to the men and women of the IC who provided extensive background insights that helped us focus.

This is an awesome paper. Very interesting partisan implications that would complicate the strategic logic of crying wolf. Love it.

This is a rockstar paper Jack Paine Joan Ricart-Huguet & Christy Qiu. I have advised others to use randomly placed African borders for random variation. 62% are not random, but actually the direct result of strategic processes I assumed orthogonal. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

What's the bet that polity scores for 🇮🇳 🇵🇰 fall next survey (ie reverse causality for the democratic peace)

Polisci Hivemind, need diverse x-national TSCS data on major domestic political initiatives (1990-2020). e.g, economic/regulatory reforms, immigration or policing initatives, gender quotas. Self cites welcome.
