Musk rescinded 'Robinson's' Twitter ban early on, and has repeatedly attacked the UK government over his prosecution. The richest man on the planet is using his obscene wealth to promote right-wing extremism on a global scale. Totally normal in 2025. 2/2

In case you missed this: the well-known right-wing extremist 'Tommy #Robinson', who has several convictions to his real name (Stephen Yaxley Lennon), says at the start of a new trial that Elon #Musk is paying his legal bills. Wouldn't be a huge surprise if true 1/2

Analysing Bias in French Pre-Election Surveys with surveybias for Stata (example 1/3) - kai arzheimer
In a recent publication (Arzheimer & Evans 2014), we propose a new multinomial measure B for bias in opinion surveys. We also supply a suite of ado files for Stata, surveybias, which plugs into Stata's framework for estimation programs and provides estimates for this and other measures along with their standard errors. This is the first instalment in a mini series of posts that show how our commands can be used with real-world data. Here, we analyse the quality of a single French pre-election poll.

Dark times, but there is also this: '#Hungary’s leaders tried to turn a celebration of equality into a security crisis. Instead, they got a civic awakening.'
How Hungary reframed LGBTQ Pride as a national security issue
Hungary’s government recast Budapest Pride as a danger to children and national security, then banned the 2025 march. Varvara Prodai’s data show that the 'security threat' framing spiked in Hungarian, while English-language messaging remained legalistic, revealing a two-track playbook that weakens minority rights and narrows civic space

A paradox: I have to prove that I'm human so that I can provide free labour inside EM, a deeply dehumanising environment that tends to turn people into mindless click-drones #AcademicChatter

Like in several other run-offs held over the last couple of weeks, the #AfD candidate 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 by a wide margin. That gets underreported, because it's less newsworthy. Have a look at the URL of this article, whose text was edited when the result was in. It's quite telling.

Meanwhile, in #Germany: a deputy leader of the largest opposition caucus in parliament (i.e. the #farright AfD) is travelling to Moscow. Certainly newsworthy, but I think the alleged national security risk associated with this specific journey is overblown. Why? Because the man has form
