The constant presence of Smartphone cameras (for all of its ills) gives you a quasi constant image gallery of your children growing up.

Access to information of any kind TV got delinearized and i dont have to buy hundreds of DVDs to do that Shopping (both Info & Delivery) Dependence on paper hast dwindled

Sharing my LinkedIn post here too. Political science lost a great researcher and I lost a wonderful friend and one of the people that brought me to where I am now. Rest easy, Philipp 🕊️🤍

Maybe interested or willing to share? @joannaeveritt.bsky.social @qalbaugh.bsky.social @korinlind.bsky.social @haasvioleta.bsky.social @turnbulldugarte.com @grahn.bsky.social @msaeltzer.bsky.social @lenamariahuber.bsky.social @payoub.bsky.social

Finding out Stringer Bell is not that smart is pretty indicative of my intelellectual development in the last 18 years.

“I was asked not to mention the Times at all. I’m choosing not to honor that norm, b/c silence abt how accountability journalism gets suppressed is itself a form of suppression.” Read the back story of how @nytimes.com and @thebulwark.com killed @adambonica.bsky.social’s piece. What a mf badass.

Job Alert! We now have another position in computational social science. In the context of an interdisciplinary method center, we offer a 4+1 year 100% postdoc position with no teaching! If you have any questions, send me a PM. uol.de/en/job/postd...

kurzer Einblick @ndr.de in unser (m. @msaeltzer.bsky.social ) neues Projekt zur Verbreitung von Tech-Right-Ideologien, gefördert von der @volkswagenstiftung.de - ein ausführlicher Thread folgt…

Am i the only one who didnt like this game? It felt like a friendly, eager to please a neutral audience. Fanservice quite literally...

And if you stick around until the end (which you should), you can catch our session on "Strategic communication on social media" where I will present the @gesis.org BTW 25 candidate social media account collection done together with @msaeltzer.bsky.social @vigneshwaran-s.bsky.social and others.

Take that, Occam!

Die Novelle des #WissZeitVG ist ambitionslos und - mal wieder - wissenschafts- sowie karriereschädlich. "Zugleich entfällt allerdings die bisherige Möglichkeit, nicht ausgeschöpfte Befristungszeiten aus der Promotionsphase in die Postdoc-Phase mitzunehmen." www.jmwiarda.de/blog/2026/05...

New Job! Started as a Postdoc at the Uni of Oldenburg 🪩🥳 Within the SCEPTIC project, we examine how online information environments are reshaping trust and social cohesion. Excited to work with @msaeltzer.bsky.social @annanosthoff.bsky.social @guzoch.bsky.social Sebastian Block, Andreas Peter

We're #hiring!

Today I received my official appointment as a W2 Professor of Political Behavior and Representation at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. As of April 1, this marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life and career—one I am very much looking forward to.

@lukasbirkenmai1.bsky.social, @astroppe.bsky.social @wurthmann.bsky.social & @msaeltzer.bsky.social use NLP+Wikidata: 50k tweets + 190k FB posts (Bundestag 2017–21). District MPs cite nearer places and deprived in-district areas more than list MPs. Read more: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New paper with @lukasbirkenmai1.bsky.social, @astroppe.bsky.social, @msaeltzer.bsky.social !

📢 Study out in Research & Politics! We (@lukasbirkenmai1.bsky.social @wurthmann.bsky.social @msaeltzer.bsky.social) find that directly elected MPs talk more about local & deprived places than list MPs on social media. 🔍 doi.org/10.1177/2053... Some Highlights [1/3]

I’m excited to share a new book, Reforming Primary Elections: Voters, Campaigns, and the Future of Congressional Politics, exploring how reforms could improve primaries. In our chapter, @msaeltzer.bsky.social & I analyze candidates in primaries. Free download: www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

🚨Publication Alert! My first first-author publication with @msaeltzer.bsky.social and @pluggedchris.bsky.social is out in @polbehavior.bsky.social, which began as my bachelor's thesis. We study how party polarization shapes affective polarization—with a particularly important role of the AfD. (1/7)🧵

A critique of our (w/ @bertous.bsky.social) paper “Instrumentally inclusive” has just been published. Our response is under review (see below on process) but we feel obliged to share our draft for balance since the comment has been released without the response. osf.io/rn6h3/files/...

🎉 New publication 🎉 Why do #youngpeople vote for the #AfD? This question has kept our research project busy for quite some time, so I'm beyond excited that our first article - co-authored with @timonscheuer.bsky.social - is now out in #GermanPolitics! 🤩 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This may look like unity but political leaders only arrange themselves in a sine wave when they are in heavy distress.
