Methodology question does trying to contact someone by ouija board count as an interview

Trying to do some amount of process tracing of an institution in the 50s where everything amounts to “oh we didn’t keep any minutes and all meetings were over lunch”

@LauraCBreen1 I have been waiting for this since they mentioned it in their first episode and the back to back of this and end of history, a treasure

@urtepeteris I literally was yelling about how I wanted them to do this next. Truly #blessed.

Have become That Person who talks about podcasts to students and this… is finally my white whale

@urtepeteris Happy Mearsheimavelli day to all who celebrate.

Ah yes, that part of the year when my students discover John Mearsheimer’s website photo

Coming out of Twitter retirement to share @lpolgreen's important, thoughtful first column. Much to think about here, including the role and biases of foreign reporting nytimes.com/2022/10/12/opi…

Big thanks to @BtGProjectDC for a whirlwind New Era workshop this year, especially to @_danigilbert @fabiana_sofia @areddie89 @naazneenbarma @RachelWhitlark and many others. No better motivator than meeting exciting people doing exciting work, and also the mountains help.

I see a lot of discussion about dissatisfaction among Ukrainians with the Nobel Committee's decision to award the Peace Prize to human rights defenders from three countries at once. I will try to explain my view of the problem. 🧵1/7 #NobelPeacePrize
