Fascinating to watch Shapps, IDS and the rest attempt their little post-truth 'it's all the RHA's fault' gambit over fuel shortages. Like a replay of 2016, except this time against reality rather than a warning of reality.
Properly open mouthed with disappointment at the Labour conference. National crisis, army called out, catastrophic government incompetence, even the right wing press turning against them. And where's the opposition? Nowhere.

Our Germany Elects snap reaction podcast is up! How did 🇩🇪 vote? What to make of the results? Will Olaf Scholz become chancellor? How will FDP and Greens use their leverage as kingmakers? @emilyctamkin joined me to discuss all this and more: https://t.co/KDQl9GXJnA
Agree with this. Jamaica coalition looking pretty unlikely by this point. Open question as to whether CDU in opposition would go down a modernising Röttgen route or a rightwards-lurching Merz route. https://t.co/C3scSyw3ZQ
So here's what the next Bundestag will look like. SPD ahead of CDU/CSU on 206 to 196 seats (what a comeback!). Three coalitions possible: Traffic light (🔴🟢🟡): 416/735 seats Jamaica (⚫️🟢🟡): 406/735 seats Grand coalition (🔴⚫️): 402/735 seats https://t.co/8corkJ0enB https://t.co/zo8Kj17UZh
The federal returning officer has just published the complete provisional result of the 🇩🇪 election. Gains for SPD (+5.2 points on 2017), Greens (+5.9) and FDP (+0.9), losses for CDU/CSU (shown separately here, -8.8), Left (-4.3) and AfD (-2.3). https://t.co/ee4CYlCajA
Scholz speaking (in better English than Merkel’s) on UK petrol queues: “The free movement of labour is part of the EU, and we worked very hard to convince the British not to leave the union... and I hope they will manage the problems coming from that” https://t.co/Q7HehX4iCU

John Redwood's other job is as Chief Global Strategist for a City firm that uses his analysis as a basis for managing the investments of its clients https://t.co/zPStve9Q9P
If Scholz and Laschet go for a Groko together, when that coalition collapses in elections that follow the SPD vote gets shredded by the Greens and the CDU/CSU vote gets taken apart by the FDP.

John McDonnell: “I saw someone on the way up, I asked them what they thought of conference: what a shitshow, they said. It’s falling apart.”
Also worth noting that the populist right on retreat in Germany, Netherlands, Norway and other places too. We should hear as much about it as when they were on the rise.
Corbyn now effectively presenting the alternative leader’s speech, the sixth Corbyn conference speech which never was.
Corbyn: “Conference ought to be the place you debate policy...so what do we discuss? The rule change for a leadership elex which isn’t in the offing anyway...all the rule changes being put forward empowers the PLP...being an MP cannot and must not give you control over the party”
McDonnell: “What kind of leader, in their first real in person conference, wants to debate the means by which you pick his successor?”
People have been talking Reeves up ever since she entered Parliament. Today felt like a day she met that ambition. Unexpected barnstormer of a speech. Leant into some economic populism, some pretty radical high spending pledges wrapped in language of restraint/moderation.

I understand masks have been deliberately weaponised (face nappies for bedwetters etc). But seriously, everyone knows mask-wearing in public is mainly about just trying, in a tiny way, to help vulnerable others. It's the very furthest thing from hateful.

I know that Ministers can probably do much as they like for the next few years, but watching them pile taxes onto young workers is very, very depressing and very, very ominous. They are building up a huge bonfire under the economy.
So a 50% tax rate on many young workers, a 42.25% rate on most graduates. A financial adviser might counsel parents with children to emigrate so as to avoid that burden on their children. If you can become an Irish or Canadian citizen, for instance, the fees are much lower.

@PaulDJohnston @naumenko_roman Your overall point—people generally don’t willing violate explicit contract terms—is exactly right, so smart contracts are usually just an attempted automation of something trivial.
@PaulDJohnston @naumenko_roman Also court cases on contracts aren’t about anticipated outcomes (usually). We use courts because of situations we didn’t expect that aren’t spelled out exactly in the contract (usually). Smart contracts don’t solve that, but blockchain proponents don’t understand law.
@PaulDJohnston @naumenko_roman I think more about the issues we saw with smart contracts after the 2018 election, where the contract was, "which party will control the house" but it closed on December 9 and so no newly-elected people were sworn in, so...

Jehovah’s Witnesses is sometimes cited as forbidding vaccination. This is their statement on the topic: https://t.co/59S2eZ036c
The only cases in which doctors are advising against vaccination is if you are allergic to components in the vaccine. This occurs in 2-5 cases per million people. And even then there are work arounds so you can still get the vaccine.
Resistance to vax mandates in NYC hardening, with disputes around how medical & religious exemptions are defined, so important to remember: 1. There are exceedingly few cases in which a doctor would advise a patient not to get a vaccine 2. All major religions allow vaccination

My favorite so far is “forgotten patient” (and likewise “co-patient”/“co-survivor”). https://t.co/etU3xdbaqV That feels true on this end. I suspect the healthcare system takes issue with it. But language affects treatment. Labels should center those to which they are applied. 7/8
The term has never felt complete and accurate to me. So, what would be a better term? What would better encapsulate the variety and many layers of the true experience? It’s a genuine question that I’ve been trying to answer for years. 6/8
The patient’s circumstances deeply affect their loved ones. Their lives are often changed forever, with trauma, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, shock, burnout, physical injury, among many others. So why does the term - and therefore the healthcare system - not reflect that? 5/8
Family members, spouses, parents, children, and loved ones are not hired help. They are caregivers, yes, but they are more than that. Caregivers are often patients in their own right. 4/8
…many caregivers’ mental and physical health is directly affected by the very same disease, condition, diagnosis, etc. What of their needs? Why is the #healthcare system at large ignorant of the treatment *they* need? 3/8
Ironically, the term #caregiver completely ignores the caregivers themselves. Yes, the patient’s needs should be centered by the medical team. Yes, caregivers should be acknowledged as important members of that team. But… 2/8

@C_Wolbrecht @VSapiro OMG yes. That is such a strong memory. It was my first time in Seattle and I was like "wtf was everyone talking about with the rain." Then I ended up needing to go back there several X/year for many years and boy did I learn my lesson.
@VSapiro As a bitter Pacific Northwesterner, I am oddly pleased to see we'll have more normal Seattle weather this time. Last Seattle APSA was like 80 and sunny every day.

As someone without kids, I have been asked (on more than one occasion): "why can't you meet on evenings/mornings/weekends? You don't have kids." I have a life, and I'm entitled to that life just as much as someone without kids.
@AaronRHanlon There is no doubt that being a parent is incredibly difficult. But, also I think we shouldn't forget that children are optional. We should support one another in all our choices, not just the one to have kids.
I agree we shouldn't schedule things in the early mornings or evenings. But can we stop always making this about having children? I don't like this way of thinking where having kids is the only legitimate reason that one might want work life balance. https://t.co/7Du0RrXqte
@soashworth Wait, why can't I laugh, then?
While I'm picking on the analogy, I think it's a telling objection against Nozick. And it's exemplary of a broader problem. Philosophers are often taught logic, but not probability. So they end up turning most problems into logic, when they shouldn't be.
This is still compatible with saying that it's very likely that the current situation is almost certainly *unjust.* Nozick can't say "no redistribution is needed" even if he thinks that the initial acquisitions were very likely just and all transfer very likely just.
While very different types of researchers, there is a coherent thread that connects them: recognizing how we establish conventions and then come to treat them as immutable ethical rules. Sometimes for good (Hume and Sen) and sometimes for bad (Butler).

@AaronRHanlon I certainly understand the issues about being a parent during the pandemic. This wasn't really what parents "signed up for," and I think we all needed to help one another out where possible. (People without kids faced their own difficulties as well, to be sure.)

@DG_Rand @Sander_vdLinden @CecilieTraberg @niccdias @InfoMor Was there a source effect in the condition where accuracy judgments were made *before* source credibility judgments? @CecilieTraberg @Sander_vdLinden This is the closest comparison to our study with @niccdias. Possible that rating source credibility influences the source effect
@GordPennycook @DG_Rand @Sander_vdLinden @niccdias @InfoMor This is an interesting thought which we also considered in the study design: although not conditions, we counterbalanced source + headline ratings to combat order effects; so it’s unlikely that order impacted results.

@AnthonyLeeZhang Perhaps we can agree on the following summary: Kantian thinking can be abusively described as "In a symmetric game form, whenever you consider deviating, imagine everyone does "the same" deviation, suitably defined. Do not do deviations you would not like then."

@AnthonyLeeZhang That... is not a standard solution concept in game theory. (John Roemer does have "Kantian equilibrium.") Note also that the words "in equilibrium" aren't doing anything in your statement, since you're *defining* an exotic notion of equilibrium.

Don't let someone talk you into rejecting a sensible precaution just because it won't make you instantly immortal. We all do small, simple things, every day, that make us -- and those around us -- just a little more safe. In the end, that might make all the difference.
There are a lot of other things that help keep me safe, like masks, airbags, well-ventilated spaces, crumple zones, rapid tests, good brakes. And conditions matter too -- I don't drive during flash floods and I take more covid precautions when cases or hospitalizations are high.
