As so often, the manifold stupidities in this brain-fart are best exposed by imagining the reactions of its proponent if the same scheme were pursued by his political opponents 1/2
2/3 Contemplate, for a moment, the apoplexy of Galaxy Brain Lilico if PM Corbyn were to propose abolishing the Monarch, and replacing her with a radical left Lord High President, with powers to veto any legislation, to "protect democracy from rapacious capitalists"
"Simple passive ritual monarchy is totally inadequate to our situation" said Corbyn, announcing the elevation of Lord High President Seumas Milne

Perhaps we've been too quick to declare the death of European social democracy? In four EU states with elections coming up this year - Spain, Finland, Denmark and Portugal - social democrats are posting their best polling numbers since before the financial crisis
Also, in two of these countries (Finland and Denmark), the radical right is currently down sharply in polling, in a third (Portugal) it is still non-existent while in fourth it is set to break through for the first time (Spain)...
Which is worth flagging up for three reasons: 1. Spain continues the general tendency of the radical right family to spread to new countries 2. Denmark and Finland highlight this doesn't mean rad rt are growing where they're already established...

All of these things can be true:

1. This is a sincerely held reading of where we are politically

2. It is a reading heavily bound up with a particular ideological stance

3. Those with opposite ideological views expressed similar views with similar vehemence in pre-Brexit yrs
Its also worth recalling (1) that Remain voters' answers on a range of perceptual measures such as views about the state of the economy swung far further in a negative direction than can credibly be accounted for by any objective shift
And (2) that on basically any measure of intolerance that has been asked, those who express a strong tribal "Remain" identity express greater hostility towards "Leave" voters than "Leave" partisans do towards "Remainers".

“My personal biography doesn’t fit your statistical relationship therefore you are wrong” is one of the most frequently made obviously wrong arguments on here.
“I am a young liberal graduate ukipper” - good for you!
“I am a pro-migration Remain Conservative” - yay! great!
“I am a blue collar pensioner who left school at 16 and voted Remain.” That’s. Nice.

"They escaped justice and accountability once—they can’t get away with it again.

They must be shamed into political oblivion."

A new one from @julie_kelly2

Wow! This one may be tough to keep connected. But I'm inspired by Julie's writing so here goes:

"For more than two years they misled us.

Exploiting fear and confusion after a shocking event, they warned that our country was in imminent danger at the hands of a mad man.
They insisted that legitimate intelligence, including a CIA report issued a month before a national election and a dossier produced by reliable sources in the United Kingdom, proved the threat was real.

Schiff responds: "My colleagues may think it is okay that the Russians offered dirt on a Democratic candidate as part as what was described as the Russian effort to help the Trump campaign. "
"My colleagues may think it is okay when the president's son was offered a role in the pivotal campaign, he did not call the FBI or refuse the foreign help, no, instead that son said he would "love" that information." - Schiff
"You may think it is okay when the chairman of a presidential campaign offered polling data to someone linked to Russian intelligence - I don't think that's okay," Schiff says of Paul Manafort

Pakistan based terrorists or Jaish-e-Muhammad (Army of Muhammad) attack a convoy of Indian paramilitary. In the attack and subsequent actions, 50 soldiers are killed.
In retaliation, India scraps off MFN status. All cross border trade comes to an abrupt halt. Pakistan sees it as stopping them from eating tomatoes. Jang-e-Tamatar starts.
Pakistan is offended and sends additional Forces to Indian border. The aim of Invasion is to capture some tomatoes and take them back home.

Very excited to announce the publication of our new paper in @NatureNeuro: rdcu.be/bhO9H with @russpoldrack, @DrBreaky, @spornslab, @kaylena88, @p_t_brain, Sanmi Koyejo and Rick Shine!
The work was inspired by a skype conversation with @spornslab – we were both interested in finding ways to track the dynamic trajectory of the whole network of the human brain over time, but didn’t love the standard idea of chopping up time series into discrete windows.
Side-bar: you can check out psyarxiv.com/xtzre/ for a nice discussion of the state-of-the-art for time-varying connectivity if you're interested.
