TBF, Ibou managed to miss from a yard out without any help tonight
People are going analyse these as if they were completely different games when Liverpool hit the woodwork twice in the defeat and had a fractional offside and two bangers from outside the box in the win.
Gave everyone a chance, but it's Man City 1938
I do!
We have a publicly funded and delivered health service. In this case, I think patient choice probably ought to dominate, but it clearly has something to do with government
I basically agree, but it is striking to me that the rate of c sections in France is double the UK (fwiw, the obstetrician in my life said that this is because the French are behind the times)
Yes, so I take it, the focus is on 1) not 2), ie elective Caesarean.
I'm a little wary of "just provide info and give the patient choice" - I think that's not a good way to address over treatment in general. Though if I were addressing overtreatment, I wouldn't start in obstetrics.
At the risk of stirring the hornet's nest. Interesting to me how many people think it's obvious that the anti-science woo woo position is the one held by the WHO
(fwiw, I think it's probably a good thing that the Greens are u-turning, but I don't think it's *obvious*)
Great pithy summary of my book here from Aveek !
This week:
Listened to a concept album about the Aeneid
Felt ambivalent about the concept of "dessert cocktails"

This week:
I read No Second Chances by @morganj0nes.bsky.social
Also an old lecture on Weber's relevance to modern politicians by @iprnickp.bsky.social
And a piece about aid cuts and violence by @leecrawfurd.bsky.social

Yeah that caught my eye too!
That is an amazing quote
(Haven't got to the conclusion yet - got quite far through over Xmas but haven't gone back to finish it for a while)
I suspect in part the "supermajority" line did work, at least insofar as it gave Labour sympathetic voters permission to vote for other parties without having to worry about the Tories surviving in power
So I've been trudging through the British General Election of 2024 book, and finding it hard to square the efficient, strategic, apparently well targeted campaign it describes with this.
I see other people got here too, but I like my one best
Is that just you wrapped up in a blanket?
This definitely felt like a thing growing up in (affluent suburban) Aberdeen! Was quite conscious that almost all my friends' parents (and mine) were from elsewhere. Still got under my/our skin though in a way I don't feel is the case for the home counties (ex Essex/Kent)
Curious what the deal is with Co Durham though
This map is so rich. Really feels like it taps into something about identity, cultural distinctiveness, "authenticity'. The blandness of the home counties, the difficulty of placing East Midlands.
The company that Swedes trust the most is the government alcohol monopoly.
IKEA is a distant second.
Feel like you could get the whole thing cancelled with *one* Nabokov inspired outfit.
What do you think he has failed to try and address?
Liverpool were too open early in the season, so they became more cautious after PSV.
Set pieces weren't working so they switched to inswingers.
He benched Salah, he reoriented the team around Wirtz. The man is definitely trying stuff
On lead, Britain is the laggard of the developed world—The British authorities are dangerously complacent when it comes to lead. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimates that 168,000 children in the UK… www.ft.com/content/bbd5... @aveek18.bsky.social @financialtimes.com
Thanks Man u for obliging
Trying to use policy to protect something ineffable and enduring (and here unarticulated) is also kind of meaningless - at best an admission you'll do it based on vibes.
The value of toleration seems somewhat in tension with the desire to resist social change.
Interesting that this Shabana Mahmood at least tries to make a values based argument, but unclear how the premises lead to the conclusion.
Saying people like "fairness" is empty without clarifying what conception of fairness you mean...
