So that’s where Dunning Kruger comes from…
Stellar@StellarArtoisGB

Did you know 😏 He rubbed lemon juice on his face. Robbed two banks. Smiled at the cameras. Got caught in an hour. And changed psychology forever. In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two banks in Pittsburgh and robbed them with no mask, no disguise, and lemon juice on his face. He believed that because lemon juice works as invisible ink on paper, it would make his face invisible to cameras. He smiled directly into the security cameras. Police aired the footage on the evening news and arrested him within an hour. When shown the tape, Wheeler stared at the screen and said, "But I wore the juice." He had tested the theory with a Polaroid selfie and didn't appear in the photo — because lemon juice got in his eyes and he aimed the camera at the ceiling. His case inspired Cornell psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger to publish their 1999 paper defining the Dunning-Kruger Effect — the cognitive bias where people with low ability drastically overestimate their own competence.

@YesterdaysBrit1 A Summer job I had at a light engineering firm involved me sending a telex (no really) and processing the time cards. Red ink twice = loss of good time keeping bonus. Data entry. Print the payslips and the money order for Securicor. Wasn’t allowed anywhere near the cash

Attention Scum (2001). Quite a comedy curio, Simon Munnery leads The League Against Tedium: travelling the country in a Ford Transit van on a mission "to discover England and confuse it". Munnery was an Edinburgh festival regular and had already done two shows for UKTV digital channels: Futurtv and the quiz show Either/Or. In 2001 Stewart Lee directed Attention Scum for BBC2, and though it was nominated for a Golden Rose of Montreux award a second series was not commissioned. It's quite a time capsule of Millennium culture in the UK: acerbic, surreal, open to being too self-consciously clever. PoMo on a budget and buried in the twilight of the schedules it's certainly different!

@KieranMaguire The first time I encountered the concept of the big six was in relation to The Premier League rights contracts. There are limits on the number of games involving these teams being shown live. I think it’s quite a subjective judgement about who is in the 6

Is there really a 'Big Six' in the Premier League, or is it a modern myth? Calculated the wages of all clubs for all years and adjusted for football inflation (current purchasing power). The top 114 adjusted wages paid since 1992/93 only involve five clubs, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Spurs do not appear until 119th.
