A guy called Wayne has a pod called the radical centrist. He had been at me for a while to come on. Eventually we got together and went back over the territory of @angrynomics. It ended up being a much fresher conversation than I anticipated: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Enjoy!

And now for something completely different. @Angrynomics spawned a paper with my postdoc Nic and my student Nadav on anger and elections in Italy using fancy data techniques. Turns out anger on Facebook is a good predictor of elections. Podcast n it here: player.captivate.fm/episode/…

Cheers,for that. As one of the “precarious” I cannae say it cheered me up, but it distracted me from swearing at the currently ubiquitous royal pish on the radio.

This paper is still work-in-progress. Feedback very welcomed. The Facebook data is from a forthcoming paper on fake news with my friends @michele_ctrl & @volperob_. We still need to integrate the amazing feedback from @jblumenau & @sethkjolly (discussants)

We compute anger on Facebook posts of Italian parties and their leaders ahead of each election. We use 4 methods to look at who (1) Used most angry words (dictionary approach) (2) Used most caps lock (3-4) Used most angry language based on machine learning algorithms

New working paper out! As Italian elections get closer, @nadav_druker, @MkBlyth and myself wonder what role #anger played in the last Italian elections (2018 and 2013). Can you guess which party supplied most anger? 😡 A 🧵 #ElezioniPolitiche22 🇮🇹 watson.brown.edu/research/20…

My tax lawyer view on Akshata Murthy: 1. Plausible that she is a non-dom 2. Claiming remittance basis isn’t avoidance 3. But it was a choice, and IMO an inappropriate one. Creates a serious conflict for Sunak 4. Damaging for the tax system - “one rule for them, one for us”

For those folks who read about bond markets but never got through the textbook on this stuff, here's a great, short (and funny) primer from Bill Blain's daily newsletter The Porridge - which you should sign up for: morningporridge.com/blog/bla…
So my latest note draws on work by @JoMicheII plus @angrynomics to define the "supercycle", which reflects the balance of power between labour & capital, the "software" we write into our institutions to tame capitalism xitter.cf/PriapusIQ/status/13827…
