How did we come to this?

New post on our three experiment reversal of the massively cited and massively influential Moss-Racusin et al (2012) PNAS paper. With N=127, they found biases against women in science hiring. Link in reply. We used their methods nearly exactly, and with N>=1100, we found biases

Class resentment dictates that we always think the people in the stratum just above our own don't deserve their money. Thus, professors like me ($70K-150K) resent administrators ($100K-250K) and Mamdani (from a family of mere millionaires) would like to abolish billionaires.

Thank GOD this plan to sell America to the lowest bidder got trash-canned. This sort of vandalism-for-a-penny, a hallmark of the GOP, is one reason I could never vote Republican. Still, kudos to the Republicans in Congress who were scared enough of their constituents to do the

1. Weaknesses and BS in claims about implicit bias, stereotype threat, and microaggressions. 2. The quasi-supernatural status of attributions of inequality to "systemic racism." 3. Lefties' wild overestimates of police killings of unarmed Black people and wild underestimates of

A 75-year-old Cuban man who arrived in the United States nearly six decades ago died Thursday after three weeks in immigration detention in Miami. He's 5th person to die in ICE custody in Florida this year. miamiherald.com/news/local/imm… by Syra Ortiz Blanes Claire Healy

Fascinating. Democrats are uniquely resistant to radicalization and propaganda:

Classic.

To an LA resident, Trump's brutal crackdown on Hispanics in this city is ironic. If you live here you know from the fireworks that start on the 1st and don't end till the 7th that no one celebrates July 4th and no one is patriotic like Chicanos. This 4th, I'm with the people who

I will say one other thing on my mind about this Mamdani stuff, which is despite the Left's pose of being very class conscious, they really do not understand (or maybe do not care) about the connection between gaming affirmative action and similar systems, and class privilege.

America hasn’t been perfect. It’s made grave mistakes. But there is no country that has ever done more for improving the world. It breaks my heart how unappreciative Americans across the ideological spectrum are of that. Much of the left rejects we’ve ever been good for the

Hardly anybody likes the Big, Beautiful Bill.

“I hope you seek to dismantle the United States…. Listen to indigenous people when we tell you this is the goal,” says Dr. Melanie Yazzie. Yazzie owes her faculty career to a string of well-funded fellowships meant to recruit social justice activists.

Damn, brilliant article over at Heterodox Stem. Here I just 🧵select quotes. Link in next tweet. "US universities are caught in a maelstrom not seen since the 1960s. From a Marcusian perspective, an enlightened, freedom-loving vanguard is confronting

“[Ethnic Studies] definitely radicalized me and many of my students.” I may be the only person on this app willing to say that this sort of lunacy should have a place at the table in universities...but it shouldn't dominate the social sciences & humanities as it currently does.
