I'm going to clean up my BlueSky feed a bit. I block-followed a load of lefties and "anti" people in error and it's ruined the experience. I'm going back to art and artists for my mental health. Sorry if that annoys anyone x

Three years ago, I had the honour of collaborating with Ukrainian dancers from Edmonton via a virtual meeting. They taught me some Ukrainian dance moves, and I taught them some Bhangra moves. I'm sharing the video today in solidarity because standing with the oppressed is standing for lasting peace.

DWP pension is increasing by 4.1% in April. Council Tax is increasing by 8.2% in April. Someone's got a sense of humour.

If you're a bit baffled, or even just a little unsure about AI, there's a superb editorial in the Journal of Applied Learning and Teaching worth reading. And for a bit of sport, try this in an AI search: "what remains of the resistance to the annexation of Tibet?". journals.sfu.ca/jalt/index.p...

Problem seems to be that pretty much everyone else is weaker. Because nobody else seems to be doing what the good bishop has done.

I've just ditched another social media account for not being honest (quite the reverse) about what it does -- academia.edu is no more than instagram for people who just want their work "out there" without review. Shields up, if you're reading stuff from there. Caveat lector. #academia #myarse

Hats off to @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and sod off to Elon Musk. Here's a 🎶 parody of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" about Musk's recent spate of diarrhoea tweets about the UK, called "Turd on a Wire" (with an attempted nod to the wonderful k.d. lang version ❤️). youtu.be/G_N4UmUjJeo

There seems to be no interest in addressing this, or any other gross abuse of wealth, either in the US or UK. Yet the wealth gap is widening so tangibly. When will anyone get angry enough to do something about it? Judging by the apathy over #Palestine, no time soon, I think.
