Pew Research showing Democratic approval of their Congressional leadership now resembles Republican approval of their Congressional leadership in 2014, which historians might remember as the year before Donald Trump took over that party pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…
Grateful to @ellliottt, @essobecker, and @phinifa for the invitation to present at the 10th MPWZ-CEPR Text-As-Data Workshop. My second time presenting was as rewarding as the first. Superb work from all presenters and excellent feedback. ow.ly/bbaI50WVEKW
Workshop announcement! Send us your best papers or abstract if you want to present/discuss with others interested in HISTORY LLMs -- large language models trained or fine-tuned for historical contexts. @ellliottt @aadukia @m_sendhil
If you want to use it for you own paper, here you go: colab.research.google.com/drive/1sl1Z8-5… If you have any trouble, LMK! /end

Where governments choose to tax and where to spend money shows a lot about their priorities. We should be taxing things we want less of (like fossil fuels), and subsidising things we want more of (like education). Pretty simple. #auspol
"Why are we rushing headlong into a future that threatens our agency, our livelihoods & our planet?" There are vast costs that come with the rise of AI, writes @AmyRemeikis "Why wouldn’t you want that to be regulated? Or have a say over its boundaries?" thenewdaily.com.au/news/politics/…

🚨 New paper alert! "Recognising, Anticipating & Mitigating LLM Pollution of Online Behavioural Research." Online experiments are being polluted by LLMs. We mapped the threat and fixes. 🧵 w/ Raluca Rilla, @hiromu1996 , @iyadrahwan & @amnussberger arxiv.org/abs/2508.01390
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
📢New Publication Alert🚨 Our paper with @d_zambiasi, “Political Rhetoric and Racial Discrimination in Arrests for Drugs”, is now out in the @EJ_RES! We show how presidential rhetoric shaped racial disparities in drug-related arrests in the 1980s–90s. 🧵 A short thread 👇1/6
In 2023, Richard Denniss shocked the National Press Club when he pointed out that the federal government collected more in HECS-HELP student loan repayments ($4.9 bn) than it did from the petroleum resource rent tax ($2.2 bn). Read ⤵️ australiainstitute.org.au/post/in-2023-2…
AI + social media = polarization machine 🧠📱 Recommender systems trap users in echo chambers and ad-based platforms profit from partisan division.
