Will HBO release "MUSK" to streaming in Q1, as planned now thar the Ellisons own it? This will be a critical early test of just how political this acquisition was.

I despise seeing what’s really going on stuffed into a “but critics say” clause.

Archer is yet another example that there are no penalties for failure in British public life.

But his time behind bars and his political disgrace did not terminate his career at Westminster, and he returned to the red benches of the House of Lords, until he retired in 2024.

Made the mistake of spending 10 minutes on LinkedIn in. It gave me the same feeling I used to get when reading personal statements on undergrad applications (UCAS forms). “If so many good people have done so many good works, how can there be any problems left in the world?”

Trying to remember the precise arrangement of details in a piece I read decades ago about how Jeffrey Archer’s agent, or editor, or possibly even wife Mary, helped him with his work by “translating his books into English.”

i'm again reminded of american abortion bans: "doctors are sacred to treat women because of progressive fearmongering" no they won't treat women because of the *explicit text of the law*

I accidentally spent £17,700 on 400 subscriptions to the LRB for Home Office staff and now the Life in the UK test is asking applicants to rank Derek Jarman films from most to least emotionally resonant?

Anyways, I say this all the time, but the best Nazi interview book to read is Into That Darkness by Gitta Sereny. You want someone who grapples with what it means to see into a perpetrator and find a person there? Sereny’s your girl

I also want to be clear that I don’t mean a conglomeration of circumstances *will* make *everybody* bad. Just that imagining yourself/anybody else to be naturally (due to empathy) above the world we are all subjected to is a fantasy. Like good things, anybody on earth is capable of very bad things.

Okay so I don’t think this is true - historically speaking, mass violence consistently comes from an attempted rejection (rather than a *lack*) of empathetic impulses, which exist whether we want them to or not, and desire to distance oneself from an externalized target.

Imagining people who do evil things to be devoid of empathy is a way of comforting oneself, because we all know that we feel empathy and therefore are not the kind of person who could do *that.* It’s much scarier to know that a conglomeration of circumstances can turn basically anybody bad.

From the report: "[T]the opinions and attitudes of the public can sometimes shift quickly and dramatically...This is part of what’s interesting and challenging about studying public opinion....[inference] can struggle to identify changes in sentiment when they happen quickly."

There is a lot of "oh dear" to go around in the results of this very thorough Pew study on the issues with synthetic samples, but this strikes me as particularly "oh dear" www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...

AI polling results can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes

In many cases, our AI poll took beliefs or attitudes that are reasonably common among a particular subgroup and portrayed them as nearly ubiquitous. For example, our AI poll would indicate that:

97% of Hispanic adults are at least somewhat likely to follow the World Cup (while the actual share is 43%).
