Some people find it hard to grasp how slow some things change in political lifecycles, but this is 💯 true. I was 8yo when Berlusconi became prime minister for 1st time and his shadow still features Italian politics in 2026 (3yrs after his passing). And this is just one of many fitting comparisons.
Seth AbramsonThe rest of your natural life—and then some. That's how long we'll be cleaning up the mess of Trump and MAGAism. The nation as it was before is lost. It won't return. What we seek to save now isn't what used to be. It'll be something else altogether. It'll be what we make it.
I absolutely hated the world in 2020 where schools and nurseries were closed (christ, i was stuck at home with postpartum depression, a newborn and a 2yo) but I dont accept to be told by antivaxxers that experts that made those decisions did it with a light heart or for any reason but public safety.

Louder for the political scientists in the back
Nick Huntington-KleinOne of my empirical-work econ takes is that I think academia should be *more* open to publishing work based on best-we-can-do weak data, as long as there's really no other way to address the question and that work is very clear about what it can and can't actually say.
