Why is playing videos out loud and using loudspeaker in public acceptable again? Even among young adults! They were meant to save us from the depravity! They must have headphones!

I'll be at the Joint Session, Glasgow, this July presenting my work on the single-genus view of #grounding & #causation. The work has undergone a few interesting developments over the last few months. Not least, the proposal is now a positive one! I look forward to presenting my findings.

I'm glad football has moved on from the 'Vinnie Jones', 'I got the ball (maybe) but violently took you out' era. But in recent years we've seen a pernicious rise in off-the-ball fouls, which referees are letting slide. Reece James was just wrestling Rice. It's routine at corners. This isn't NFL! #PL

By chance, I've discovered that Microsoft, the absolute bastards, are sneaking £25 onto our annual subscriptions. What for? Copilot! Here's how to revert back to the standard price: www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/02....

Male main characters in American TV shows of the 90s and 2000s had such great sex appeal. Think Jerry Seinfeld, Frasier Crane, Tony Soprano, Peter Griffin, Tobias Fünke, Homer Simpson, Doug Heffernan... Phwoar. How else can we explain the female company they kept?

False analogies are everywhere. Sam Warburton says the media isn't doing enough to promote the safety of rugby as a sport, claiming for comparison that heavyweight boxing matches wouldn't make it past round 2 or 3 given the same protocols. But boxers only fight a few times a year...

We're well accustomed to the fact that academia, journalism, politics, etc. are filled with people of privilege. But, for some reason, it always hurts more when the domain is sport. The UK is great in many ways, but it's still very class-based. Source: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-....

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... When I first watched Her (2013, great film) I didn't realise how close we were to that story becoming a reality. In fact, film has been fairly prescient about AI. Let's just hope AI doesn't reach '2001: A Space Odyssey' levels.

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... The NHS is already a key political issue in the UK. Yet we must give it even greater prominence. I’ve had some really bad experiences recently. Furthermore, a complaint I made was dealt with so poorly. It seems I’m not the only one.

Sometimes I worry about my nostalgia. Attempts to experience the past can feel like attempts to cope with the present. I reflect on my memories a lot. I watch TV I used to like. I keep mementos. But doing so is arguably unhealthy—especially when done 'to excess'. Nostalgia ~ substance consumption.

Conference organisers should stop asking for a biography (at the stage an abstract is submitted). It's elitist.

My partner says I'm handsome. So does my nan. I think they're deluded. But if we want to retain the idea they see something similar in me, where should we say the property of handsomeness lies? - I don't bear this property (fact): non-intentionalism fails. - It cannot exist in minds: inten. fails.

Yesterday's performance was really disappointing, especially after the West Ham game (18 shots!). We lacked ideas. There should've been a buzz. During the long stoppage time fans were just chatting amongst themselves, had zero expectation of a goal. We all know our squad isn't good enough. #saintsfc

I stopped my donations a while back. The RSPCA was the first of its kind, the oldest animal welfare institution in the world. The notion of animal rights embedded itself into the British psyche, deepening our respect for animals & our identity as 'animal lovers'. Yet the RSCPA legitimises cruelty.

Just over a year ago I finally left the NHS after 10 years of watching degradation and on-off work. I've gone from reading the work of doctors, who don't even read what they cite, to reading the works of Aristotle, who thought women have fewer teeth. I'd still call that progress. Eudaimonia, etc.

Are substances addictive or are people addicted to coping strategies? I am tempted to say the latter. (www.facebook.com/jamesclarkro...)

A pantomime will be written about #saintsfc's season one day. 'Shall we go forward?' 'Noooo!' 'The pass forward is on.' 'Ohh noo, it iiisn't!' 'He's behind you!" shout the crowd as Lumley passes into the feet of the midfielder, who has two men behind him.
