At @kcl-spe.bsky.social today to chair a session on how to measure democracy. Scary but compelling work by @silindberg.bsky.social. One of the audience asked if we shouldn’t have Authoritarian Indexes rather than Democracy Indexes, given democracy is feeling like a blip in human history…

I fear I now cannot finish writing a long feature without Tangfastics. I hate Coke and I even enjoy the little cola bottles. What the hell is in these delicious devils?

Why has the news the UK is minded to buy new jets to drop 'strategic' nukes been met by ... widespread indifference? rostaylor240051.substack.com/p/oh-blast
