Very bad. Also, does last sentence mean you can be hired without a college degree or that you can’t be hired with a college degree? Typical usage clearly is former, but so much is atypical these days.

Our “most flavorless cheese” is a weird flex, but people like what they like.

Here's pretty much the same thing in regression table form (adding dummy variables for whether the team Spurs played was in the top 6 or bottom 6 of the expected points table)

Again, more minutes for Spurs best players dramatically improves outcomes.

Here's a scatterplot of the percentage of minutes played by best XI (Xipct) and the expected points (xp) for Spurs last season (PL matches only). You will be shocked to learn there is a very strong correlation -- the more minutes played by their best players, the better they do in xP.

Is this a good use of generative AI? No. But also, yes.

Genuinely touched by such a lovely statement.

How’d it get so dusty in here all of sudden, whoa my eyes sure are watering from all the dust.

Here's another screenshot for the call document:

Funded workshop at Southampton on the topic of "Public Opinion, Identity, and Security in Europe"!

Workshop will be held on June 16. Please submit your proposals/abstract by May 21. (Please help circulate widely!)

Kamil Zwolski, John Denham, and I are the coordinators of this event.

If I'm doing this right, the "tariff" imposed on the UK by the US (which was a goods trade surplus), is ~14.8% (UK trade deficit of $11,856M divided by US goods imports $79,941).

Following US policy guidance (half the "tariff"), the appropriate UK retaliatory "reciprocal tariff" would be ~7.4%.

For anybody who keeps track of tactical/strategic voting communications to voters, here’s from a Labour leaflet dropped through my mail slot in Exeter.

Gosh, do I look goofy when I present. But getting a chance to speak before an engaged audience at the EU is pretty cool. Other pictures clearly show my (as my daughter puts it "signature look") pink shoes.

Co-authors and I were wondering how to discuss the persistence of treatment effects across survey waves. This was my suggestion. (Though co-author came up with prompt that created better image than what I managed.)
