Do legislators write their own email newsletters? How do they determine what content to include?
I had the opportunity to chat with former MEP @richardcorbett.bsky.social and learn from a politician's perspective on communicating with constituents.

One of my favourite things to do is shock my well-meaning but unaware UK colleagues with how much immigrants pay for the right to be here and contribute.
"Nice nationality dork, did your parents get it for you? Couldn't be me."

Finished a draft of a blog post featuring an interview with someone really cool. My main takeaway is not novel, but bears repeating:
Put some damn respect on your friendly neighbourhood qualitative researcher or journalist. Interviews are hard as hell and quant folks like me are bad at them.

You know, if you ignore literally any and all of the numerous dissimilarities between the invention of automobiles and the advent of AI, they're really quite similar situations. I think there are a lot of lessons we can learn from that.

A depressing amount of your 30s is waking up and thinking "I'm way too hungover, I've got to stop drinking", only to realise that you didn't drink last night. In fact, you didn't drink any night last week. Your body is just like this sometimes.

Are the results from this clearly flawless and highly scientific poll shocking? Not at all. But the cynicism is still a bit depressing, no?

If you kindly have 15 seconds to spare, I've got a quick poll I want to use for a blog post:
If you received a newsletter from your MP, would you believe the content is mainly written by the MP or by their staff?

Got to present at the EEF Evaluation Conference. This is one of the more rewarding and cool projects I have worked on, using AI to help code Pupil Premium statements and help public policy practitioners better understand how funds are being used to help economically disadvantaged students.

Unsolicited ADHD tip:
A few months back, I replaced my morning doom scrolling with a cat and a fantasy/sci fi book.
Did it make me healthy and energised in the morning? No, not even close, I'm still a wretch. But it did make my mornings ~10% less miserable, and that's neat.

I feel like the word "influential" should be spelled with a c, as in "infleuncial". If finance -> financial, then influence -> influencial, no?
I understand that there is likely a legitimate linguistic/historical reason for its spelling, but surely that's less important than arbitrary *vibes*.

My new piece @E_IR, exploring why ALP MPs are strategically ignoring Trump. Are they caught between being responsive to their electorate and knowing they need to maintain the US alliance?
