If you're telling me I *have* to wear a shirt honoring a third-party presidential candidate of yesteryear, I'm definitely going with Peter Cooper's 1876 Greenback Party campaign, though Bob LaFollette in 1924 is number two with a bullet

The “Ross Perot was right” t-shirt really is the crank cherry on top of this crank sundae. A labor leader praising Donald Trump’s tax hike on working class people while wearing a shirt praising a right wing austerity lunatic is just so insane https://t.co/hdf4ImKPd8

RT @BethSchueler: @KevinMahnken @AERA_EdResearch Congrats and well-deserved!

RT @karenvaites: @KevinMahnken @AERA_EdResearch Congratulations! 🎊

I started covering education research in 2017, and it's been some of the most satisfying work of my career. Thank you, @AERA_EdResearch, for an enormous honor

Guys, midway through the fifth section of my story on COVID's impact on school choice, I dropped a few pointers on exactly when to buy back into the market. Gotta read it all to find them, though https://t.co/cqlCPi7dsP @the74

New today: For my entry in @the74's five-year COVID retrospective series, I looked at how the pandemic led to a leap forward for school choice that few could have imagined in 2019 https://t.co/cqlCPi7dsP

Suggests that fluoride, in fact, GIVES you cavities and Big Tooth has kept it covered up for decades

Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin

i'm the number one dentist hater but their endorsment of fluoride is notable because it's *against interest* and dentists do not typically act against their interests

Coming to believe that politics and business share little in common, except for a mutual frontier in public relations

Conor Sen @conorsen

@NateSilver538 You and I are used to the cyclical nature of politics but VC people are generally awful at political and market cycles because their industry is secular growth (and they live somewhere without seasons). They figured 2024 represented some forever shift.

Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil

I sometimes wonder how people can get confused by ecological versus individual inferences, when the difference seems really, really obvious. As an example: So many people are confused by richer countries being fatter and richer people within those countries being thinner.

Nice try, but vampires can't be captured in photographs

To understand why this is so hard, I'd point to Boris Johnson's win in 2019. Should've been a generational capture of Labour voters, but most of his team actively didn't want them in the coalition, and Johnson himself offered vague slogans in place of a governing strategy

Ross Douthat @DouthatNYT

An interesting idea, maybe worth trying, would be to follow a big political victory by focusing your policy efforts on the extra/new voters you've just added to your coalition, and see if maybe your popularity can build on itself.

You should read this extremely good interview with the guy who used to run IES, the most important education research organization in America (now getting dismantled)

"Empire of Liberty"

Literally Chad @literally_chad

@Noahpinion @sbarna The bases aren't an empire, but there's a huge zone of territory whose security is provided by us, and it's not a stretch to say that (say) Japan and Poland are our frontiers. Empire, but non-pejorative.
