30 to 50 minutes shorter

Some Thanksgivings are shorter than others. Family celebrations (or, “celebrations”) were about 30 to 50 minutes shorter in 2016 for those who crossed partisan lines for their dinners than for those eating same-party meals.

This is according to a paper in Science using location data from smartphones combined with precinct-level voting results. The authors tout their findings as quantifying the private, familial effects of political polarization. [The New York Times]
