I guess Devah Pager was right… a white guy with a criminal record has no issues getting hired.

@RyanGirdusky please stop spreading misinformation -> cato.org/blog/fiscal-im… see table 31 for a nice summary

They pay taxes but cost far more than they pay… estimates are they cost $150 billion annually and that’s probably low balling it. Want to save $600 billion in a decade? Deport illegal aliens.

@EnriquePenalosa ser el país menos competitivo de la OCDE y ser el pais menos competitivo del mundo son dos cosas completamente diferentes

En este cuadro se aprecia como Colombia es el país menos competitivo del mundo en términos de impuestos, porque tiene las tasas más altas. Y eso no incluye otros factores que le restan competitividad a Colombia como la extorsión cada vez más generalizada y múltiples problemas de seguridad, racionamientos de agua o electricidad, bloqueos de carreteras con cualquier pretexto, consultas previas que hacen costoso y casi imposible hacer obras, un MinAmbiente que bloquea la exploración petrolera y los proyectos mineros y hasta la construcción de líneas de conducción eléctrica, la mala calidad de la educación por cuenta de acuerdos con FECODE. Para empeorar la competitividad el gobierno tiene ante el Congreso el proyecto de reforma laboral, otra reforma tributaria, etc. Y un presidente enfermizamente anti-empresa privada. Difícilmente las empresas y empresarios van a preferir invertir en Colombia sobre otros países

Elon is a capitalist, and has zero integrity

October 7th was a tragedy, a war crime, a horrific day for Israel & Israelis. Everything that's happened since has been a tragedy, a series of war crimes, & horrific weeks & months, for Gaza, the West Bank, & now for Lebanon. Civilians should be off-limits. Always. Everywhere.

Equity is not a preference, but a fundamental requirement for a just society. We must stand firm against efforts to undermine DEI and work tirelessly to ensure that every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to succeed.

@Rahardhika Congratulations!!!!

@alkamenon @ASA_Bodies @4sWeb Amazing!!! Congratulations!

I am delighted to announce that Refashioning Race received the 2024 Book Award from the ASA Body and Embodiment section, and it was a finalist for the 2024 Ludwik Fleck Prize given by the Society for the Social Studies of Science. Hooray! @ASA_Bodies @4sWeb

US Presidents have set up torture sites, staged coups, ordered human experiments, invaded entire countries, ethnically cleansed indigenous peoples, enabled genocides. That the first Presidential conviction ever is over hush money to cover a sex scandal is… very telling I guess

fwiw, Biden is also a (war) criminal

@MediaPolitics6 lol, you don't believe there are white guys under 40 TT faculty in humanities and social sciences????

@LoriCarriere @tanyaboza Matthew Desmond is 45. Can you provide links to the bio pages of the "lots" of guys?

So long as we are using anecdata ... I'm White and I got a postdoc in AfAm, an Asst Prof job in race, and an Assoc prof job in race. The idea that people don't hire White folks in race positions is ridiculous (but you also could deduce that from looking at the field).

The results are in, the members of the American Sociological Association have spoken: THE ASA MEMBER RESOLUTION FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE HAS PASSED!!! 🇵🇸❤️ We are so deeply grateful for you all. Onwards to a free Palestine!

@jncohen but if politics is more than just elections & parties, if you think about the distribution of power & resources, then it becomes pretty obvious that all knowledge production is political

@jncohen I used to believe this & soc of knowledge class in grad school changed my perception. your critique is only valid if you believe in a narrow or simplistic definition. of politics

@lancearmstrong @AthleticBrewing also, that's 3 things.... 3>1

Been at this endurance thing for 40+ years. Learned a lot. One of em is: open water > pool mountain bike > road bike trail run > pavement Ū READY?

@lancearmstrong @AthleticBrewing doping > training

@ASFried @victorerikray @ijbailey @ProfDBernstein Maybe I missed something, but no one said it was a *major* way of attracting students.
