Just saw Heidegger's Being and Time referred to as "early philosophy" in a (otherwise great, I should say!) qual methods paper. Heraclitus and Confucius would like a word, lads. 😂

Oh hey! My book is already on Amazon, I did not know! Look how pretty! If you are a person who still uses Amazon, will you please consider pre-ordering? It's cheap, and it really helps with the algorithm and with my ability to promote the book. I hate to push my own stuff but I would be so grateful!

A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire 43 years on, we await the first prosecution.

And not just art. Education and research of every kind as well. It is not possible to use genAI ethically. It might be some day but it's not now.

I'm happy to see openai and other companies of that ilk suffer, but good to remember that just because there's now a much cheaper version, doesn't mean using generative AI still isn't a shitty act of creative theft that fucks over anyone who makes or enjoys art

Absolutely farce with the Independent TG being basically allowed to be government and opposition at the same time. Verona Murphy is unfit for role of Ceann Comhairle. Profoundly anti-democratic stuff, enabled by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael

I'm lucky enough to be able to walk to work. Lately I've been going out of my way so I can cross at the pedestrian crossing because people are driving SO dangerously it's scary trying to cross busy roads. We have to create more viable public transport options in Ireland. This is insane like.
