Snally intel: There are 2 cases of Perennial Barrel Aged Abraxas stout. That will be the first beer to kick. Queue up there first if it’s on your list because it might not last 30-45 minutes.

Construction of Confederate Monuments in the South reduced lynching. Removal in recent years increased anti-Black hate crimes. Generally, paper makes the case that symbols, like monuments, can substitute for other actions, like violence, that inform racial order.

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

How common are “survey professionals” - people who take dozens of online surveys for pay - across online panels, and do they harm data quality?

Our paper, FirstView at @politicalanalysis.bsky.social, tackles this question using browsing data from three U.S. samples (Facebook, YouGov, and Lucid):

poll:
is sponsored by company with a vested interest in results and which is clearly using survey as a promotional tool

writeup:
does not link to toplines
no info on question wording
no methods info
confuses "percentage" and "percentage point"

Country/region is a numeric variable which has Scotland as being six times greater than Northern England. Whilst I agree with the sentiment, the fact that a lecturer in quantitative methods has just dumped this variable in a regression without thinking... smdh

I know people ask these questions to get over social desirability bias (I'm not sexist, but THEY are), but this is silly. Many are reading this as 4 in 10 won't vote for a woman for president (also implied by the headline). It's really that 4 in 10 know a sexist, and I'm stunned it isn't 100%.
