Michael D. Cohen, Ph.D.

Thank you Eva Lihotzky for having me on The In-between Tech & Trust Podcast. We had a very #Booksky discussion on @modernpoliticalcampaigns.com, AI and ethics in politics, education, technology, and antisemitism. 🎧 Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/203n... 🍎 Apple podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Congrats to John @Scalzi on winning the Hugo for Best Series for Old Man's War. I'm sure he knows this but Isaac Asimov also won the Hugo for Foundation's Edge after a long time away from the series. Sometimes greatness takes time, but as he told me, "Keep writing!" #Booksky

Also - I interviewed political consultant & author @michaelcohen.us about campaign strategy and it is ALL TOO COMMON for campaigns not to invest in oppo on their own guy. You can hear his story of why this is bad and dumb (and sometimes hilarious!) here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

A tragic abdication by @Gallup.com, where I began my career. www.axios.com/2026/02/11/g...

Next week on Spotify ... #Booksky

Met @scalzi.com for a book talk in Richmond. He’s so great. In 2017 he couldn’t have been more encouraging to this struggling writer. Tonight, as he signed his NYT best-selling novel I gave him a copy of the second edition of my book. His ask: did I sign it? Absolutely, and honored. #Booksky

My interview with @lbc.co.uk Matt Frei on @modernpoliticalcampaigns.com and how social media has impacted politics. youtu.be/zK4d1yVmso8

We need a "New Patriotism" that rewards individual striving but is there for those who need our help. My post @24sight.news.

@michaelcohen.us called it open.substack.com/pub/24sight/...

The biggest story of the day may be that Elon Musk will not spend during the midterms, which would help Democrats win back the House.

Oh, please ... someone who literally made her career as a party mouthpiece titles her new book (e.g. career pivot) "Independent" www.axios.com/2025/06/04/k...

My conversation with Justin Robert Young on the @catalist.bsky.social findings from the 2024 POTUS election. youtu.be/ixc1hYHEgFs?...

Interesting study, and lands some of the points I made in my book @modernpoliticalcampaigns.com. Again, it’s a drafting tool at this point. theaapc.org/wp-content/u...

Tough ending to a great season. Thank you, Knicks! 🗽🏀

Let’s go Knicks!

The Knicks are halfway back into this series.

Bookmark this for 2026. Jony Ive and Sam Altman together. Ive essentially blesses Altman as the next Steve Jobs. I haven't felt this kind of holy shit moment since the first iPhone. openai.com/sam-and-jony/

How are we feeling today, @ny-knicks.bsky.social fans? #Knicks

Shit, Joe. Fuck cancer.

Knicks in 6

Which #Knicks team shows up tonight? The second half team of Game 4 or the second half team of Game 5? Need motivation? If we lose 6, we'll lose 7, too. Ask the Yankees how that still feels. www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/2...

Derrick White understood the assignment. The Knicks didn’t.

Tie game at the half? Feels like we’re up 20 given we’ve played from wayyyyyyyy behind for most of the series. #Knicks

First lead this series after the first quarter AND the Celtics shot well from 3. #Knicks

That’s a lot of blood. Big mistake, Celtics. Josh Hart is going to kill someone tonight. #Knicks

Thank you, @harvard.edu law school for featuring @modernpoliticalcampaigns.com in your "Guide to Working on Political Campaigns."

Most points scored in the fourth quarter this postseason: 1. Jalen Brunson: 102 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2. Anthony Edwards: 68 3. Jayson Tatum: 60 4. Jamal Murray: 57 5. Donovan Mitchell: 54

Bing Bong, Dave. One More. #Knicks

3-1. One. More. #Knicks

Thank you @center4politics.bsky.social for carrying an excerpt from @modernpoliticalcampaigns.com! centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/... #Booksky

Clutch shooting. Defense! #Knicks up 2-0!

In the 20 years before Jalen Brunson signed with the Knicks, New York had won a combined total of 8 playoffs games (only the Hornets won fewer). In the 3 years since Jalen Brunson signed with the Knicks, New York has won 18 playoffs games (3rd most in the NBA).

Celebrating #Maythe4th with a double feature of Star Wars and Return of the Jedi. I was always a hopeful Luke guy. Seeing @markhamillofficial.bsky.social becoming such a vital political voice reminds me that the whole thing about never meeting your heroes (okay, online) is completely wrong.

During my conversation with Tom LoBianco @24sight.news about @modernpoliticalcampaigns.com at New York University in DC we covered: 🥸 Why voters are rejecting too-perfect candidates 🤖 How campaign teams used A.I. in 2024 🔜 What to expect in 2026 and 2028 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZHE... #Booksky

Thank you NYU for hosting Tom LoBianco @24sight.news and I to discuss the second edition of @modernpoliticalcampaigns.com. #Booksky

Tune in!! From the NYU Green Room @michaelcohen.us

So, we’ve had a fair amount of new polling on how the public feels about the Trump White House, I figured it’d be good to get the smartest pollster I know @michaelcohen.us on for a Substack Live video, today, at 4p. Tune in!
