I'm pleased to announce the publication of Professors Speak Out: The Truth About Campus Investigations. Its participants tell stories about Twitter mobs, trumped up charges, & institutional bad faith from folks like @LiamOMaraIV, @PsychRabble, @eweissunburied, & @natehoneycutt.

The share of each generation that reported never attending religious services has increased as they have aged. For Boomers, it's nearly doubled from 18-29 to 75+. Gen X has gone from 20% to 27%. Millennials rose from 32% to 34%. Gen Z started out at 37% never attending.

This is how we lose the 21st century to China.

The US has canceled hundreds of millions in science grants and driven thousands of Ph.D.s out of the federal workforce. China, meanwhile, has poured evermore resources into its research efforts. If they pass us as a scientific superpower, we shouldn't act surprised. theatlantic.com/science/2026/0…

Nothing; the same way Sam Brinton’s paraphilia said nothing about how either his professional ability or his criminality.

Director of the FBI, Kash Petel's account hacked. Video leaked online. What does that say about the ability of the current FBI director to not click on phishing emails.

Over 61% of Americans oppose medical transition for teens. I’d love to see the trend data. NB @jessesingal

63% of Americans agree with this statement, "Make it illegal for health care professionals to provide someone younger than 18 with medical care for a gender transition" The group most likely to agree is white evangelicals at 81% The least likely is atheists at 29%.

@Recursion_Agent Thanks. Hadn’t heard this story before now, seems utterly trivial, now forgetting.

@NickWolfinger The breach occurred prior to his appointment, so yes. There's no evidence of a new hack, they've just slapped their logo over stuff that's been flying around for ages.

Because he wasn't using his private account to share classified information. Hope that helps you be less of a dumbass in the future.

Hillary Clinton's private email server was front page news for weeks. Meanwhile FBI Director Kash Patel's private emails are hacked - and shared publicly - by Iran and it barely makes headlines for a day.

@HistoryBoomer Yesterday I got retweeted by Emil Kirkegard, & my twitter was ruined for the day.

The cool thing about America is it's not Twitter. On Twitter, you get paranoid yobs fearful of "white genocide" or "replacement." In America, only 10% of adults think having many different races is bad. 🇺🇸 Race-fixated thinking is dumb, whether from the left or the right.

@2sailbeyondsun @BoydsArchitect @conor64 I never lost full faith, perhaps because I expected mistakes from the outset, but agree that was a big screwup. I suspect it resulted from dueling expectations: was CDC a think thank or a crises support agency?

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

I've got brand new data about American religion that was collected in October of 2025. And, folks... The share of Americans who are non-religious has dropped for the third year in a row. Atheists and agnostics are down to 5% each. Those are 2014 levels.

@PauleGolf @drantbradley Let me jump in on one narrow point: the utility of non-STEM degrees. Do I think these majors now produce more grads than the labor market can now absorb? I do, but will attest to the utility of some degrees. I'm a social scientist; I teach statistics. It's useful.

P E@PauleGolf·3d

@drantbradley @NickWolfinger Also, if you were educated you would know about the false equivalency fallacy in your argument. Not sure how you are effectively defending a college education comparing a blue collar job to drug dealing. You’re discarding the positive externalities of blue collar workers…

Yes, Sarah Lawrence College is 80% women. HBCUs have essentially become women’s colleges. One aspect of the “boy crisis” is that high school men are opting out of college, while women are not. This trend affects young men of color even more dramatically.
