So are there any decent apps that let you read X, Bluesky and Mastodon all in a single interface? Because I find it bonkers this doesn't exist yet.

Someone really should try and replicate this! Any keen @sebp-uk.bsky.social members? Also, i vaguely remember a similar evaluation at a recent conference with similarly big effects... Ring bells for anyone?

Is anybody tracking/mapping mobile phones "dead zones" around #London? Max bars but just... no data? Because they're making me increasingly grumpy.

I continue to be confused as to why this trial needs to be quite so long. Surely we have all the evidence we need at this stage to let me buy the monowheel I've wanted for a decade...? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Striking how little discourse there has been on this, other than from the nationalist right. Does seem pretty in line with the "go for growth" ambition? BBC News - Chris Mason: Can Delhi deal mask Labour's problems at home? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Okay crime people, riddle me this London reported recording mystery: how come shoplifting and theft person have risen at very similar rates, while robbery person is still barely over where it was 2 months after a national lockdown?

This is super compelling. Gonna try out this app. In a randomized trial, individuals with blocked internet access experience greater mental health. This replicates in a delayed treatment arm.

So, I don't know a lot about #pypi. I want to know more! Seems like it's faster to get things up on it than on CRAN, but what else is different? Love seeing all these downloads of the #pydytuesday pkg!! Andreas even overhauled it to add some more command line functions! Thank you, Andreas! #databs

Celebration thread 🧵 1/! Years ago, I released (then immediately forgot about) PydyTuesday, a Python library to easily download #TidyTuesday datasets. Some nice folks recently told me they'd been finding it useful... and looking at the Pypi stats, turns out they're not alone!

They had me at "cultural and social technology.' As a social scientist in an engineering faculty, I often have to explain the notion of social technology e.g. I conceive of ideology as a normative, semantic social technology, which makes it way easier to generate hypotheses about its role.

So these are obviously ridiculous, but also my inner crime scientist really wishes I could run a proper randomised evaluation on these things because... I suspect they do a decent job reducing shoplifting?
