Hey @bsky.app, I'm having problems with my Bluesky app: I see considerably less posts in my pinned feeds in the app than in the web client, sometimes none at all (see the attached screenshot).
Can you help?

And, as one would expect, a look at the data reveals that it's (much more) complicated: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
![Visualization of the relationship between political orientation & political knowledge in 45 countries. The blue curve is the best fitting (polynomial) regression line, the gray shade represents its 95% CI. For each value on the political orientation dimension, the dot with error bars represents the mean and its 95% CI. Summary from the abstract: "Here, we adopt a data-driven approach to examine the relationship between political orientation and political knowledge by testing a series of polynomial curves in 45 countries (N = 63,544), spread over 6 continents. Contrary to the dominant perspective, we found no evidence that people at the political extremes are the most knowledgeable about politics. Rather, the most common pattern was a fourth-degree polynomial association in which those who are moderately left-wing and right-wing are more knowledgeable than people at the extremes and center of the political spectrum. This pattern was especially [...] prevalent in Western countries.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xgo6bp4pkxjhgnalr4vtp3th/bafkreihzph6fqxe5pziybp32fsk4vrtrkwmptaiozty4gulh47bcvihdle@jpeg)

Maybe of interest to some of you is my discussion of the question whether causation requires manipulation (and the literature cited) in Wenz (2020, pp. 41-46).

PS: Depending on the Maraschino and the Crème de Violette as well as the Gin, it can be a good idea to balance sweet and sour (and the overall flavor profile) by adding more or less simple syrup as in the recipe from Death & Co. (see attached photo) or in the recipe on tuxedono2.com/aviation-coc...

In a second “all German” round w/ Summerville Gin, lemon juice, (the less sweet) Schladerer Maraschino, & (the little more soapy) TBT Violet Liqueur 2/.66/.5/.25 was too sour & tart IMO.

My preferred ratio depends heavily on both the Maraschino and the Crème de Violette.
The other night I used No. 3 London Dry Gin, lemon juice, Luxardo Maraschino, & Tempus Fugit Liqueur de Violettes w/ 2/.75/.5/.33 oz and it worked really well for me.
