Pamela Paul is out on the NYT opinion page! In her honor, re-upping this piece, which typified her approach - a lack of substantive knowledge of the topic, faux intellectualism combined with a tabloid desire to solicit outrage. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Snap elections in Iceland 🇮🇸 today. I was pleased that my problem this cycle was too many parties that I wanted to vote for rather than not a single one to be excited about. Lots of uncertainty about who will win and which parties will make it into parliament make for an exciting election night!

I've seen so many great starter packs, but I've yet to encounter one on int'l organizations and cooperation. So, I made one. It is no doubt incomplete, but I hope you find it helpful nonetheless. Feel free to circulate and, if you have suggestions on who to add, send them my way! go.bsky.app/RbHqH38

Looking for textbook recs for MA-level Intro to Public Administration. Specifically, I am trying to find a good book with comparative focus (i.e. not just US admin). Esp. helpful if there is some disc. of Nordics, but happy for any and all recs! polisky & pasky & academicsky Thx! 🙏

Me right now. Also me every time there is an assignment. The fact that it is 100% self-inflicted also does not help.

Fascinating stuff. As someone who once lived on a block now identified by five different names, only two of which I ever remember hearing, I hope the NYT (or someone) does this again in 10 years to see how much has changed.
