Political history lesson anyone?

How much do you know about the political, social and economic conditions under which Hitler rose to power?
Trump may not be “America's Hitler”, but the similarities between early twentieth century Germany and the USA at the beginning of the twenty-first are undeniable.

LOL! You are so polite. I refuse to review ML conference papers. It is abundantly clear that they are all a total scam. We all know it, but most people are too polite to say it out loud. To be clear, I don't think regular journal publishing is great, but that's another story.

NZ's initial pandemic response was an elimination strategy: we knew the health system was under-resourced for mass outbreaks.
There was very real hardship in NZ.
But there was terrible mortality in the UK, US, Italy, & others.
After 2 years NZ had lost just 53 people.

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.
The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.

Very moving testimony from Prof @Kevin_Fong who saw the devastation from Covid first hand. Our hospital staff are utter heroes. Political decisions made during this time were very poor. Lest we forget.

YouGov predicting the biggest Conservative wipeout in their history?
It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

The national service nonsense does give me the opportunity to tweet one of my favourite recent bits of polling when Ipsos actually ran the famous "Yes Minister" questions as a randomised experiment, and showed that it worked.

For M.E. Awareness Week, I have written a poem. I wrote this poem when I was in a flare up and finally felt well enough to read it out yesterday. Please SHARE this.
Living with this disease at the moment is HARD. #pwME #MedTwitter #MEAwarenessHour

This is the remarkable moment that @NathanielD93744 crossed the finish line for the London Marathon playing his trombone. What makes this moment even more extraordinary is that Nat has stage four cancer, which is killing him.

Finland is the happiest country on earth.
When asked, 96% of Finns agree ‘it’s important to collect tax to maintain the welfare state’.
Individual tax records remain public, which helps facilitate the media’s commentary on income & wealth distribution.
