🚨 WP with @cevatgirayaksoy and @harrypickard "Populist Rule and the Formation of Zero-Sum Beliefs". Individuals exposed to populist leaders (typically divisive narratives) develop more zero-sum beliefs decades later in life, which translate into more extreme voting choices.

One of England's all-time greatest captains, Ben Stokes, has decided to retire from international cricket at the end of this Test match. Ben, you have been the most inspirational captain, leader and legend this team could have ever hoped for. We love you so much and wish you all the best in your retirement ❤️ England will never be the same again.

The Irish government’s agreement to supply Russia with vast quantities of alumina is even more concerning than it first appears : Australia banned the export of alumina to Russia, citing its critical role in the Kremlin's war machine. Meanwhile, Ireland’s exports of alumina to Russia have skyrocketed since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, now providing 99% of all alumina from the EU. Ireland also approves approx 95% of all Russian visa applications - an extremely high percentage. Ireland's Russian embassy in Dublin is widely viewed by security sources as a hub for Russian intelligence (GRU/SVR) and influence operations in Western Europe. It has an unusually large staff relative to bilateral ties, and Ireland's neutrality, location (back door to the UK), and open society make it attractive for hybrid activities
