You'd never know it from these headlines that she lost all her claims on the actual substance of the case, claiming that trans people must be banned from bathrooms.

The only relatable thing Starmer ever did was get a second cat when his kids asked him for a dog. That was an objectively correct and wise call

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

The LLM People using the term "prompt engineering" to refer to "learning what sets of words get you the results you wanted from the LLM" cracks me tf up. It really is a stupidity engine, it dumbs its users to the point that they think this is a form of engineering

My writing is festooned with em-dashes, but I make sure no-one can ever say I use genAI by including at least one 'on foot of' and one 'outwith' in every piece.

Mahler No. 5 (A Little Bit of Alma In My Life)

“What AI is is an ideology—a system of ideas that has swept up not only the tech industry but huge parts of government on both sides of the aisle, a supermajority of everyone with assets in the millions and up, and a … growing sector of the journalism class.” aworkinglibrary.com/writing/tool...

Gluttony, gout, drunkenness, fornication, lies and obscenity in Cork (1737). Glad to see standards haven't slipped since.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Are you interested in the unique constitutional principle requiring parity between loyalty and disloyalty to the state? Of course you are, it's much more interesting + much less discussed than whatever parliamentary sovereignty is supposed to be. We're particularly interested in ECRs 👇

Call for papers! @katyhayward.bsky.social, @anuragdeb.bsky.social, Ewan Smith and I are organising a conference on parity of esteem as a constitutional principle at QUB on 9-10 April. We've a few slots for presenters left, so still time to submit an abstract! www.qub.ac.uk/Research/GRI...

Keep an eye out for @/afcomm.org.uk, which has just followed me and is an obvious front for legitimating anti-trans propaganda in academia, alongside potentially legitimating Toby Young’s personal front for covid conspiracy-mongering and hate

I can hear this picture

My book Power and Powerlessness in Union Ireland: Life in a Palliative State (OUP, 2024) was just published online. It is ludicrously expensive, so let me explain the basic premise of the book. If interested, please encourage your local/univ library to buy a copy. academic.oup.com/book/58980 🧵

Truly amazing that cases like this continue to get headlines. The rug is (publicly! famously! front page news-ly!) pulled from under his legal basis for living in a country and he... did nothing for five years? And it's Sweden's fault? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

First they came for my uncool niece, and I did not speak out because she was really uncool

Bought these yesterday on a whim (quite nice). I like that they included all three of the lion's most famous catchphrases: 'roar', 'rooh', and everyone's favourite, 'ohoh'

Hello to all my new followers. I hope you're ready for my spicy non-takes where I say nothing for long periods interspersed by limp puns based on star trek.

Leonard is so full of shit.

They only added this carriage in a cynical and transparent attempt to increase the train's sex appeal, but in so doing they accidentally created one of the most compelling and beloved carriages in the whole train.

Fantastic news

NYT Fact Check: Starfleet, an organization that purports to champion the values of diversity and inclusion, constantly wars with the Borg, the most inclusive organization in the galaxy. Is this disqualifying hypocrisy? Maureen Dowd says yes.

My piece 'Challenging common good constitutionalism' is now published (open access) in Jurisprudence: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10..... In this paper, I explain common good constitutionalism , as set out in Adrian Vermeule's recent book (and his other work), and then raise several challenges for it.

I would really like if this was a place I could see cool people post interesting stuff without all the fascism and anxiety.
