Short one today, but the photo today is from just yesterday, so that’s cool!
🚨 NEW PAPER, which @j_kalla & I have been working on for 5 years(!): osf.io/jrw26/
To understand impacts of partisan media on beliefs & attitudes, we paid regular Fox News viewers to watch CNN instead for ~7 hrs/week for a month. Our results should worry you.
🧵...
The thread has an excellent summary of the paper. One thing worth noting is that the Fox news watchers were significantly more likely to believe that Biden supporters cheer the murder of police officers.
BREAKING: Police say six people are dead and at least nine others injured after a shooting in downtown Sacramento. Police provided few details about the shooting but said in a tweet that a “large police presence will remain and the scene remains active.”
In semi-local news, it seems like a bunch of bystanders got shot when a fight escalated to shooting.
We have underbuilt secularly for 40 years, and the way to fix things is to overbuild SECULARLY, which will also take years. And, it is never going to happen if every time we start to, we react by thinking that we are overbuilding cyclically, and that we have to kill the cycle.

This was an interesting thread, but it also lead me to finally look up what 'Secular' means in economics. (A trend that is not seasonal or cyclical)
