RIP Kinky - a brilliant, hilarious, and unique voice. Was lucky to have seen him live a couple of times when he toured UK a few years ago.

I wrote about an election stat that has been annoying me: the concept of the “crossover age”, at which you become more likely to vote Conservative than Labour. mpaldridge.github.io/blog/crossover…

This is a terrific & clear piece on “crossover age”. “I have two complaints about this statistic. First, it doesn’t prove what people think it proves. Second, it proves the exact opposite to what people think it proves.”

Lots of fun at the The Aperiodical’s Big Internet Maths Off. Each day there are two cool maths things and you vote for which you like best, and in three weeks we’ll have found the World’s Most Interesting Mathematician. aperiodical.com/2024/07/the-bi…

Well done to Rishi Sunak for bowing out with elegance and good wishes to his successor. I hope Keir Starmer will be equally magnanimous in victory. Looking around the world, the peaceful and respectful transfer of power can't be taken for granted, so it's important to appreciate.

A subtle England penalty shootout innovation (since 2021) is their deliberate, structured & functional use of social psychology. Here, Saka is picked up by John Stones after his penalty, to swiftly welcome him back in the team. What did England do and why did they do it? 1/7

This place has become too horrible. I’m not leaving completely but I am reducing my participation to a minimum. I’m at richardelwes on 🐘(lots of maths friends there) and now 🦋(plenty of the UK accounts I follow seem already there). Also on @ but not sure if that’s worthwhile.
