De Gaulle was right.
All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s). Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable! One of the coolest results in linguistics.
I've started a postdoc at Oxford. It's surreal to be here and to continue my research in Jazz, African music, and 20th cent. Black popular performance at @StJohnsOx, @UniofOxford.
I just found out that Bill Watterson (the genius behind Calvin and Hobbes) gave a commencement speech in 1990 and it's incredible 1/2
Aviation accounts for 3.5% of climate change impact, and it's one of the sectors where emissions are increasingly most rapidly. But where do aviation emissions come from? The answer is in this new paper led by Frédéric Dobruszkes - THREAD doi.org/10.1016/j.jtra…
me, weeping: all I'm asking for is what this actually means, are you talking about debt or deficit, vs what baseline, who is making the forecast, you even changed the accounting convention everyone : the BLACK HOLE is ONE HUNDRED BILLION POUNDS

I'm gonna say a couple of more things, just based on a lot of the conversation that I'm seeing. First of all, I'm not... _really_ talking about the technology here. That's an aspect of it, sure, but I'm really talking about what's being communicated. (So, another thread.)

How did the US invent solar power and dominate it for 60 years, before giving it up to China over the past decade? The answer is, IMO, quite different to the stories we have told ourselves in recent years. And it has important lessons for the future.🧵 bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…
Ten years ago this month that David Cameron dispensed with my services as AG. I had told him that his plans to scrap the HRA and threaten to leave the ECHR if it proved incompatible with his British Bill of Rights were unworkable and would not help solve our security or…
@RobertJenrick This is one of the most astonishing videos I have ever seen posted by a Conservative MP, let alone a candidate for the leadership. Most of it is twaddle, a series of promises of change that leaving the ECHR will do nothing to take forward.
If Labour wants freer movement in one area like UK musicians it will have to compromise on freer movement in other areas like youth mobility After 8 years of this it is bizarre there are people in Whitehall who have still not internalised the UK's asymmetry of power with the EU

I know nobody likes to listen to campaigners. But we have been saying/providing evidence that the Home Office is wasting tax payers money with expensive, bureaucratic, nonsense policies. This isn't because there are too many people moving here, it's because the system is shite.

1/ Donald T. Campbell championed the idea of an "experimenting society," where social experiments and interventions solve pressing issues. In Afghanistan, however, this ideal became something more troubling—an "experimented society."
We know a lot about how native-born individuals react to migrants. But how does migration shape the attitudes of migrants themselves? The first paper from our years-long field experiment on migration (w/ @nikhargaikwad and @aliz_toth) is ONLINE at @AJPS_Editor ! (1/n)
Last week The Atlantic featured an article on the rising popularity of race/IQ science on the right (theatlantic.com/technology/arc…). The obvious point that "intelligence is not like height" sparked an unusual amount of whinging. I wrote about how this is now more true than ever. 🧵
When Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool "hate crimes in the Liverpool area dropped by 16% compared with a synthetic control, and Liverpool fans halved their rates of posting anti-Muslim tweets relative to fans of other top-flight clubs." Paper in American Political Science Review
(2/2) People with success in their fields, with high problem solving abilities and good educations, are not immune to becoming radicalised online - from stewing in a swamp of petty mostly imagined grievance until the unconditional adoration of the far-right becomes irresistible.
.@timleunig in @FT is right about Brexit. But it’s far worse. Brexit ripped us out of our $19 trillion GDP domestic market & reduced us to one a 6th of it, thumped our economy, fractured the UK, threw our governance into chaos, & generated perilous geopolitical effects. A🧵/1.

Now out in @PNASNexus! We find that correcting misperceptions about the out-party has no consistent effect on partisan animosity, support for partisan violence, or support for undemocratic practices, suggesting that corrections are not a panacea for addressing democratic ills.
