It's back-to-school time, and with it, time for the mental load to ramp up! For the 1st time my 3 kids are all in different schools... I’m already dreading all the school apps. 🫣 Our research w/ 3,000 US parents finds moms handle 71% of the load. What are you doing to share or reduce it??

Chart showing how mothers and fathers in a sample of 3,000 US parents report responsibility for 21 cognitive household tasks. Mothers report being primarily responsible for cleaning, scheduling, childcare, social relationships, and food-related mental load. Fathers report greater primary responsibility for home maintenance, while financial tasks are more evenly divided. Examples of large gender gaps include keeping track of the family calendar, planning family events, scheduling appointments, researching children’s purchases, coordinating playdates, and tracking groceries.

Distinctly unimpressive piece! What some people don’t get is that scientific progress is based on the willingness to be usefully wrong while tackling important questions. You can disagree with Acemoglu and still think that his contributions are enormous. For what it is worth: prizing being right

The Economist@economist.com · last mo.

No economist accuses him of truly poor research, let alone academic malpractice. But is Daron Acemoglu’s reputation justified by his scholarship?

Quick follow-up thread on this experiment. Alas, the latter failed. I thought it would be useful to share the results -- in the spirit of countering file-drawer bias and preventing others interested in similar questions from repeating our mistakes. Our intuition was that climate policy can threaten

Excited to have just finished this pre-analysis plan with @larahankeln.bsky.social, @johannesbrehm.bsky.social, and Henri. It will be interesting to see which, if any, of our predictions will be borne out by the data. More on that in the new year. In the meanwhile, let me tell you about our theory.

Deadly wildfires like those now gripping France and Spain are often cited as evidence of the need to tackle climate change. But do these events lead to real political change? @timwapps.bsky.social @antvalentim.bsky.social @heikekluever.bsky.social @lstoetze.bsky.social @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social

There is little evidence extreme weather events spur political action on climate change - LSE European Politics

There is no evidence of a shift in the political attention paid to the environment in the aftermath of extreme weather events like flooding and wildfires.

Britain is about to have its seventh Prime Minister in just over a decade - but is Brexit to blame? Read my thoughts in the LSE British Politics blog @lseblogs.bsky.social ✏️ blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Is Brexit to blame for the churn of Prime Ministers? | LSE British Politics

After Keir Starmer announced he will be resigning, the UK is about to have its seventh PM since the Brexit referendum, ten years ago. That's not a coincidence.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.
