I don’t understand what kind of life event would make me *not* want the oven to heat up as quick as possible and, hence, why is that “quick heat” button in the middle even necessary 🤷🏻♂️🤔
And, here is a coefficient plot for Whitten & Palmer's 1999 paper on clarity of responsibility and retrospective voting, Table 4 (link: doi.org/10.1016/S026...
He also has an interesting regression table, which I turned (well, the interesting part of it) to a coefficient plot
Singer 2011 has a table with the "most important issue" question across multiple CSES country surveys. It spans two pages. I asked Claude Code to turn it into a bar chart... Link to paper: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Literally demonizing aliens without ever meeting one in person. Par for the course.
And all who are really unhappy in Finland kill themselves… Though I do know a LOT of unhappy Israelis who haven’t left yet
I teach @roycecarroll.bsky.social & Cox's 2012 paper on "Shadowing Ministers" and wanted to show Table 1 as a figure. 2 minutes with Claude Code gave me this. Link to the paper: journals.sagepub.com/share/HINRAU...
@marcdebus.bsky.social and I (2024) echo a claim that building coalitions has become increasingly difficult due to party system fragmentation across western democracies. I wanted to visualise that. Again, Codex to the rescue: Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.el...
@fortunato.bsky.social has a paper (2019) that greatly influenced my thinking on political compromise. I wanted to show his operationalisation of compromise graphically. Claude gave me this in ~5 minutes: Link: doi.org/10.1017/S000...
@swegmann.bsky.social has a cool dataset on opposition powers around the world (2022). I wanted a world map to show it. ~10-30 minutes with Codex and done! Link to the paper: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Interestingly, voters who believe their preferred formateur (PM candidate) will lose behave similarly to those who are uncertain, acting in what we call "puncher's chance" mentality. Both groups display higher rates of strategic behaviour (shown here relying on 6 🇩🇪 election surveys) 3/4
Our cross-national analysis (@cses.bsky.social) shows: when there is uncertainty over which party will lead the next government, voters are more likely to vote for the two largest parties (left figure). This effect diminishes when partisan attachments are especially strong (right figure). 2/4
The Israeli #polisci association just issued a statement opposing the government's plan to continue the conquest of Gaza, calling for an immediate negotiation for a permanent ceasefire. Main points (my summary):
5 Israeli universit heads in a letter to PM Netanyahu calling him to ״to instruct the IDF [...] to intensify their efforts [...] to resolve the terrible famine in Gaza, which is causing immense suffering to innocent people, including children and infants.״ Full translated text in Alt
… we visited every time we were in Israel and he always seemed happy to see us, but equally happy to go back home (to the AC), which is a good thing. He coupled athleticism with longevity, and died at 14, tonight. He was always afraid of vets, so it’s good that he died in his sleep, on his couch ❤️
Bali wasn’t my 1st dog, but he was my children’s older brother. He was a superdog, beautiful and mega-athletic. He was a gentle giant, great with kids - family & strangers, and playful with other dogs. Life (the move to Germany) made it so he spent the last 7 years in another home…
In 1/2 an hour at #epsa2025, I’ll explain @lwarode.bsky.social and my approach to measuring divergence in gov-opp relations measurement based on parliamentary votes and speeches. The panel’s hidden at -1.A.05, so I hope you’ll find your way there (as will I)
So, Lufthansa, you’re telling me I can cooperate and for sure lose at least 30 mins waiting for my luggage, OR not cooperate, and *maybe* lose ~10 mins while you put others’ luggage into the hold? Nah, pass.
I’m not joking people. Just bought a nice pair of sandals and I’m going to use ‘em at #epsa2025!
