Part of POAL's mission is to apply our expertise in public opinion and behavior research beyond academia. We are developing a consultancy arm — if our skills can help you, we'd love to talk.

The Public Opinion Analytics Lab (POAL) is a collaboration by Southampton, Reading, and the LSE to leverage our strengths in public opinion research for academia and beyond. Today we've published our first methods brief— a short primer on conjoint experiments by the fantastic Thomas Robinson (LSE).

"While testing one dimension at a time can yield simple results, those effects may not generalise to richer, real-world contexts."

Van de Ven has submitted his Puskas entry.

If you just took the songs that are covers (I’m counting the Meat Puppets songs even though they joined) it would probably be the best covers EP of all time.

Reject. Needs more theory.

(Actually, I love it. Accept!)

Does the money really even exist? Who does this, versus say buy Trump crypto? Seems just as like that there’s a fictional donor (repurpose money in some way? Just owning the libs as they chase a made up thing? Who knows?). All options are bad & we don’t even know what bad we’re trying to discover.

Grass torn underfoot,
the ball slips through nervous feet—
passes lost, hopes fade.

As noted by others, I’m enjoying Marinakis struggling. MGW saga led to learning more about EM, and he seems a very shady dude. I wish struggles happening with someone else and that Ange was revitalizing a team somewhere. (I also think Forest fans deserve a better owner.)

Taylor Swift singing about peer review

It's actually sweet
All the time you've spent on me
It's honestly wild
All the effort you've put in
It's actually romantic
Stop talking dirty to me
It sounded nasty, but it
Feels like you're flirting with me

I think there’s a Full Monty joke in here somewhere, but can’t quite uncover it.

Danielle Allen fails the Lando test / lives out the Arrested Development meme: "A deal on the core principles in a compact could then become a framework for negotiating on legislation." Come ON. With this administration and this Congress?

I’m not saying I feel the same way about Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville, but it did take me way longer than it should have to clock they were not the same person. Like years after I moved to the UK (which was after their playing careers were over).

At some level, I understand that Pat McAfee, Clay Travis and Dave Portnoy are all different people, but I steadfastly refuse to tell them apart because that would involve having to don a welder's mask and sit through some White Hot Sports Takes.

I’m not a mega-brain political strategy genius, but the Tories stridently and vocally taking unpopular positions (more austerity! less compassion! climate change good!) seems like a party really committed to locking up 4th place at the next general election. Big ups to them, I guess.

Jason Reifler @jasonreifler.bsky.social · Oct 6

Seeing some “well, what did people expect posts?” in response to this. Just a reminder that it can simultaneously be true that (a) people expected it to be very bad, and (b) it is worse than what was expected.

As far as failed tech bro product launches go, the Meta AI steak sauce “wifi” fail still not in Cybertruck smashed windows territory. Though how well the product does once released feels like it might be really similar.

Jason Reifler @jasonreifler.bsky.social · Sep 18

And I’d worry about the consistency of the sauce. Probably want something emulsified like an aioli or mayo more than a really wet sauce. Not sure what demo would have done in this score, but seemed a very liquid direction. (Some people love soggy French dips or Chicago Italian beefs.)

Jason Reifler @jasonreifler.bsky.social · Sep 18

Regarding the Meta AI product demo fail, I have a food question about the setup. Is a Korean inspired sauce to put on a steak sandwich even a good idea? (Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Korean flavors.) But wouldn’t it make more sense to have marinated the beef and cooked it with the sauce?

If Mike Myers ever comes back to SNL, there’s an update for the “Coffee Talk” when the host is feeling verklempt. “AI psychosis is neither artificial intelligence nor psychosis. Discuss.”
