It's not like the old owner of CBS (Paramount), Shari Redstone, was a saint. But she had an incentive to maintain the audience, advertisers, and some semblance of journalistic reputation. As a _common owner_, Ellison has greater incentive to cozy up to the administration even if it kills CBS.

🚨 New paper! Does social integration change how minorities vote? Classic theories say yes: voting patterns should converge with the majority. But looking at Muslim Turks in Germany, we found the exact opposite. A thread on the integration puzzle 👇

¿Por qué demoler un monumento brutalista como San Siro para construir un estadio con estética de la NBA? El problema no es el estadio: es que quieren más palcos VIP. . www.ft.com/content/bbf1...

Milan’s San Siro stadium is unique. So why is it set to be demolished?

It is one of football’s most dramatic modern arenas — but both its brutal beauty and its cultural legacy are threatened

The Blackness scale might be one of my favorite parts of the paper. People often talk about identity as continuous (“She’s Black, but she ain’t Black Black”), so we developed a way to capture that perception. We then estimate how much different traits predict those ratings.

Hakeem Jefferson@hakeemjefferson.bsky.social · 4mo ago

One of the measures in the paper is a Blackness scale that asks respondents to place profiles along a continuum from 0 (not at all Black) to 10 (very Black). Perhaps inspired by a 2007 Saturday Night Live sketch that introduced its own “Blackness Scale” in the context of Barack Obama’s candidacy.
