AI generated slop, plus endless legit (or somewhat legit) papers about AI, in quantities totally disproportionate to the social science contribution. Same at sociology journals?

The electoral outcome most strongly linked to deprivation is not any party’s vote share, but turnout. Across almost all indicators, turnout is markedly lower in more deprived areas, with only barriers to housing & services and quality in the living environment showing weaker correlations.

4 and 7!

I didn't think I had strong opinions about grading systems, but it turns out that I believe *very* strongly in even gaps between grades

I enjoyed "semitones" very much

Learnt recently that this wildly undersells the weirdness of the Danish grading system.

A 7 point scale from... -3 to +12

The points are: -3, 0, 2, 4, 7, 10 & 12 (but of course!)

Absolute goldmine for taste researchers

(The child is currently 1 year old!)
At this age, music is often a key part of a child’s education, and the Tutor must be comfortable incorporating regular musical activities that enhance the child’s growth and expose him to classical music from Western composers. The Tutor should have reasonable music theory and be able to help the boy explore music and rhythm. As the years pass, the child should understand instruments and how different sounds are made, hopefully developing an interest in learning an instrument at an early age. In time, the family hope their son will be accepted at a top-flight school such as Eton, St Paul’s, Westminster or Harrow. It is important that boy’s education, even at the Early Years stage, starts to prepare him for this kind of life. He should be exposed to a wide range of quintessentially British experiences to help hone his habits, outlooks, tastes and sporting preferences. Living in London. There is no reason why the boy can’t visit Lord's, Wimbledon and Twickenham for example, and be taught age-appropriate understanding of cricket, tennis, rugby and other sports such as equestrianism (including polo) and rowing. The Thames has many rowing clubs which could be visited on a formal or informal basis, helping to build the boy’s awareness of these traditional sports and their place in society. The Tutor may also want to help the boy try some of these sports, perhaps attending pony club or junior tennis lessons when the time is right. Museums, art galleries and theatre visits could all be incorporated into his education, making learning a by-product of a day’s rich activities. Although only one year old, the Tutor can use venues like these – and even simple venues such as the local park, café or library – as starting points for learning colours, numbers, letters, stories, flavours and music. The boy should become very comfortable in these sorts of places, setting the foundation for more targeted learning as he grows.
