“UK has kindly decided not to accept the refugees it helped to create”

by Laura And Normal Island News on Substack

@UKLabour

“The British government has decided it does not want to accept Palestinian refugees, but it’s quite happy to supply Israel with the weapons that create them. I mean it’s not reasonable for us to take responsibility for the consequences of our actions…”

It wasn’t supposed to be a big deal, just a ho-hum announcement of something not happening. Instead the greatest salesperson of the era, whose customer obsession had made #Amazon into a #colossus…, got the greatest customer #rejection of a lifetime.

A ¼M #WashingtonPost readers canceled their subscriptions….That is ~10% of the total circulation. The speed & decisive force of the cancellations was a bit of a shock but also appropriate, said Danny Caine, author of “How to Resist Amazon & Why.”

👀And though #Vance’s journey from rural #poverty to #SiliconValley to the halls of #Congress ought to make him an adept code-switcher—a scene in the movie version of his memoir #HillbillyElegy finds him studying the right way to say the word syrup—it seems as if he’s lost the ability to #hear how he #sounds to people #outside it all. How can you put yourself in an #audience’s shoes when your #politics is rooted in a radical #rejection of #empathy itself?

Em see rup.

ProPublicaOfficials Voted Down a Controversial Georgia Election Rule, Saying It Violated the Law. Then a Similar Version Passed.The rule, which was pushed by nationally prominent election deniers, only changed in minor ways between being voted down in May and approved in August. Those adjustments made it even less compliant with existing law, experts say.

On cheap rejection

... As anyone who's implemented an adblocker or similar online annoyance filters is aware, automating the process of distraction rejection is a vastly more effective and less-attention-costly approach. Rather than individually reject cookies, or cookie notices, or trackers, or ads, or various interstitials / "recommendations" / nags / pop-ups / fly-overs, and the like, I've applied and created sets of tools which remove those without my further conscious awareness. Users of PiHole may occasionally check the dashboard blocking statistics and be amazed at how much not only useless but actively counterproductive crud has been avoided.

Information overload requires cheap, fast, regret-free rejection tools.[1] I've come to suspect that worldviews and models specifically function in this manner, identifying key information which we should focus on, and costlessly discarding the rest.[2] The article does nod to this briefly, particularly in the note referencing Gigerenzer & Gaissmaier, 2011, but on balance misplaces its emphasis, most especially in its suggestions....

Always stinks to get a grant rejection. I'm glad I'm at a point in my professional life that it doesn't ruin my day, but it is still disappointing.

Rejection is a part of doing science, and these ideas are good ones, and we'll work to find money to fund them somewhere else.

I try to be transparent about how much #rejection I experience in my career, and I track paper and grant rejections on my website if you are curious
