After a brief respite I am back to getting a review request pretty much every day. Not sure if the massive increase in the last 18 months is a career stage thing, or whether everyone is experiencing this. Spend most days feeling guilty for rejecting the requests.

We are still calling what Germany has a "mixed member system", which would imply that there are constituency and list MPs. But that is factually not true anymore. Germany changed its electoral law to get rid of overhang and compensatory seats, to create a fixed sized parliament of 630. 🧵

Difficult to know what Trump and his acolytes would have to do for the US media to start reporting on them as fascists. Repeated Sieg Heils? Nope. If they all turned up to CPAC in SS uniforms, US media would probably report it as, "a controversial choice to to don historical military outfits".

Do you do research at the intersection of empathy and hope, or do you know of any research who investigates "hopeful empathy" or "empathy with agency" or something along these lines? Let me know and I cite you/your friend/colleague/...!

Currently reading a book about the relationship between King James I and his favourite the Duke of Buckingham. It is making me think monarchical court politics might provide quite a good lens for thinking about the Trump administration.

People often say they don't trust politicians, experts, and so on. And yet they continue to vote, get on aeroplanes, etc. What's going on? Maybe they don’t really mean it. But maybe they do not have sufficient warrant for trust. And choose to act as-if they trust. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

David Miliband always was a snappy dresser. The long sojourn in America seems to have aged him horribly though.
