Wholesome pub life for the weans. Fleadh Cheoil, Wexford.

In 1967, philosopher of language Michael Dummett and his wife, the author Ann Dummett, were arrested for picketing against racial discrimination, charged with public disorder, but acquitted upon an official admission that the police, not protesters, had obstructed passage.

Fake news. AI slop. Cannot actually be real.

This has spurred an existential crisis in me, by Toutatis!

This museum is the state of the art imo.

Colour me completely unsurprised. But if third terms are on the table then perhaps Obama should be warming up.

Not scientific, as he says, but this is uncomfortably plausible re: twitter manipulation.

My worlds colliding again. Jordan Mechner gave me my first profound video game moment in Prince of Persia. Here he is talking about digital cultural heritage.

It was, and perhaps still is somewhere, world philosophy day so I’m going to post my favourite thing about philosophy. Mine is that it is the hardest thing I ever have to think about and so it gives me unparalleled satisfaction when something clicks.
