Hadn't realised the extent to which vaccine hesitancy has been *collapsing* in many countries. In France it's fallen from 60% in January to 20% in July....(from @TheEconomist) 👇... economist.com/graphic-detail…

We were wrong not to make clear connection between recent extreme weather events & climate change. Sin of omission & reported in good faith. But truth matters. So when we get it wrong, we should say so. Lesson learned. Work to do. rte.ie/news/analysis-and-com…

What would you do after nearly 16 years leading a country? German Chancellor Angela Merkel was asked that on her last planned visit to the US - and said she might start with a nap.

The @nytimes got a lot of love for its Election Distractor, which is almost an exact replica of this small startup. Could be a Leibniz/Newton situation but feels like some recognition is justified. What say you @Choire?
Replying to @codybrown
My first feeling when seeing this release was that you have got to be kidding me. this is surf.city and the @nytimes side by side:

Precisely what Ireland should be announcing this in this week’s budget - an unemployment threshold for government spending, not some deficit figure.
Australian government announces an unemployment rate threshold for fiscal policy. Interesting! Have other governments announced something like this in the past?
