Rep. McBride: “I assume you’re aware that Greenland is indeed part of Denmark.” Rubio: “For now.”

This is 14% of Lebanon's territory. Functionally indistinguishable from what Russia has done in Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea.

Yesterday Israel ordered the inhabitants of Nabiteh to leave (population of 100,000) They then ordered the inhabitants of Tyre to leave (pop of 200,000). Now they've ordered the entire south to leave - up to 300 towns & villages. Alex Crawford reporting from Lebanon today

Det siste tiåret har inflasjonen spist opp verdien av et forskningsprosjekt. Det forgubber sektoren, reduserer forskningskvaliteten, og øker den byråkratiske byrden. Det går til syvende og sist utover norsk verdiskaping Derfor bør Forskningsrådet øke prosjektrammene www.khrono.no/forskningsra...

Forskningsrådets prosjekt­rammer må økes

Inflasjonen spiser Forskningsrådets prosjektrammer. Konsekvensen er forgubbing, dårligere forskning, og byråkratisering.

Det ble vedtatt å utrede lobbyregister i går. I den anledning har @ma1ken.bsky.social og jeg skrevet om utsiktene for å faktisk få det på plass. Politikerne har ikke vist at de er villig til å innføre sterkere regulering av seg selv, så vi er ikke kjempeoptimisiske. www.altinget.no/artikkel/det...

Det gjenstår å se om et lobbyregister faktisk kommer på plass - Altinget

En utredning av behovet for et lobbyregister er et skritt i riktig retning mot økt åpenhet om påvirkningsarbeid i norsk politikk. Men demokratisk valgte politikere har ikke gjort seg kjent for å innfø...

The Iran/US/Israel war might have already broken the record for the highest number of AI-generated videos and images that have gone viral during a conflict. Interestingly, I said the exact same thing right after the 12-day war in June. Welcome to our brave new world of AI misinformation.

The critique of unmeasured confounding is often levied in a lazy/broad way. It is trivially true in any observational study. But if the critic can't think of a plausible such confounder and posit a reasonable direction/magnitude of its bias then they're not doing productive science.

Arman Oganisian@stablemarkets.bsky.social · 5mo ago

We really do need to get away from the binary. It should be "is there unmeasured confounding or not." Almost certainty there is - it's a matter of how much and what direction.

There is still one month left to apply to the WhoGov Mini-Conference on Political Elites. The deadline is the 1st of April. It takes place in Oslo, August 20-21st, 2026. We welcome research on political elites broadly understood. Call is found here : bit.ly/whogovminico...

As long as I'm quoting I should also cite this excellent paragraph by the student author:

I dag har AUF anmeldt grove voldstrusler rettet mot meg i etterkant av mitt oppgjør med ytre høyre-aktivist Espen Teigen. Tonen og aggresjonen fra hans relativt store følgerbase er svært radikal og hatet bobler over på såvel Facebook som på Twitter. Det vil jeg være ærlig om at er ubehagelig.

Very happy to see our new article “Reference groups and electoral behavior” (coauthored with Rune Stubager, Christoffer Hentzer Dausgaard & Michael Lewis-Beck) published! Using ANES, DNES and AUTNES data, we show that liking or disliking social groups shapes vote choice.
