Thanks for offering these IOHs! Been meaning to book this year -- now booked! 🙏 While the recent performance of the Swedish men's team can be discussed, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on navigating academia, particularly democracy-related research at present.

There is one more post to be written here, about how AI is now often an austerity technology, inserted into a human process to compensate for the fact that there is just not enough time and money, and many workers are expected to do more and more with less and less.

Congratulations!👏 Looking forward to reading it.

Keep posting, please. I'm yet see engagement across my research fields build up on Bluesky (which limits my engagement too — I'm part of my problem), but following your posts is a joy, whether soccer or elections. Hoping serious users on X will see this too. 🙂

it's not good for kids to read books because it will prepare them for college, or for work, or for seminary, it's good for them in the moment because it helps them grow, in any number of unpredictable directions
