OK. found this and my pasteis de nata theory does not stand on firm empirical grounds. Instead the dutch numbers look totally eggstraordinay. worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank...

Just got back from holidays in portugal and would love to see this graph for them.

Let's all think of the true heroes of this weekend: spouses of Arsenal fans

I am very much a morning person and my wife is not and this feels eerily familiar...

"Being an arsenal fan and waiting for a title to arrive is like waiting for a loved one to come out of surgery. In the end you might possibly be able to go, 'pheeew that went well in the end' but in the process there is only anxiety, no joy."

Polls have closed in Hungary. A record 77.8% turnout.

No exit polls, but shouldn’t be long till the actual results roll in.

Do they need to chose a new recipient every year or can the same person win the fifa peace prize twice?

All the findings in this Nature story are troubling, but this chart is a good summary.

Here is my favourite semana santa in spain 2010 photo, I took. Seeing spongebobs friend Patrick in there kills me every time

This would be a great cover for a book about how the ancients were visited by aliens and there is hidden clues for this all over the archeological record.

Chart showing 15 Cabinet positions, and green and purple squares to indicate if the role was held by a man or a woman. Columns are admins, and go back to Carter.

chatgpt is so sycophantically positive and emoji-laden and excited, it seems like you have a research assistant that is hyped up on coke.
Also Claude has ultimately a clearer writing style and higher levels of comprehension, based on when i gave the two similar tasks.

Fig. 2: Data and code availability by field. Left, data and code availability as a percentage of papers. Right, the raw counts of papers with data and code available and not available. Restricted data (purple) did not count as available data, but might be accessible in principle. This shows political science has thee most papers with open data/code, followed by economics, then much further behind, psychology and then sociology (sad). Sociology is well below all field average.

This figure is the one that is actually embarrassing for sociology:

Happy birthday!

So much crazy post-hitting in this match.

Love that this story has a Waffle House subplot.

Beyond COVID-19 deaths: Understanding Russia’s pandemic mortality The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped mortality across the world, but official COVID-19 death counts often tell only part of the story. In countries where reporting practices differ or health systems are und...

Did you know that Russia had over 1 million excess deaths during Covid, almost twice the number of recorded Covid deaths in death certificates?

A new working paper by E. Degtiareva (also including @andreatilstra.bsky.social) digs into these numbers. www.demography.ox.ac.uk/news/beyond-...

Insights into US life expectancy stagnation from birth cohort mortality dynamics | PNAS US life expectancy remained essentially flat in the 2010s. This trend has occurred in the presence of advancing innovations in medical care, especi...

So much outstanding work is happening so quickly in the research area "What, exactly, has gone so wrong with US mortality?"

This is one really good intervention in that vein by @leahrabrams.bsky.social @alysonvanraalte.bsky.social & colleagues
