Rayan Cherki - That was absolute filth! 💙💙😍💙💙 #mcfc

What a bonkers game. City hang on for a 5-4 win! 🙄🫣🫠😍 Wish they played for the first 30m of second half like they did for last 15m.

Aaaaaaaaaaghhhhh! What a win for Ireland! In the 96'. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 #coybig

What a fascinating game! It's like a Pep-Klopp fusion got the better of a Slot-Klopp fusion. Reilly, Doku were outstsnding . Nunes, Dias, Phil, Haaland and Nico G were belting too.

Lá mór don tír – comhghairdeas le Catherine Connolly, ár nUachtarán nua. Go n-éirí go geal léi. ☘️ 🇮🇪 /Big day for the country –congratulations to Catherine Connolly, our new President. Wishing her every success.☘️ 🇮🇪

Tomorrow, a week on from Thursday's attack on the Manchester synagogue, this will be marked as a day of solidarity and mourning by civic groups from across all faiths and none. You are also invited to join online sharing #britainstandstogether More information together.org.uk/articles/bri...

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day. As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time. At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Sad news from Manchester, the city will come together as it always does to show there's no place for hate.

Terrible news that two people were killed in Manchester attending their place of worship at the synagogue in Manchester, with others seriously injured. Community Security Trust @cstuk.bsky.social who do so much to keep Jewish people safe at faith and community spaces have issued this advice.

Part of the burden of Jewish history is being touched, and proud, that the British police rushed to the site of this atrocity and that the reaction of the British prime minister was to send police reinforcements to synagogues. For millennia, this was not so. It is not taken for granted.

HOPE not hate condemn the appalling, violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester which has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all affected.

Appalled by this vile attack. Standing in solidarity with Manchester’s Jewish community and my Jewish neighbours.

RIP Tony Harrisson Saddened to to hear about this great loss. Harrisson was immense. He could do satire, lament, dramatic verse, TV, spoken word poetry, elegy, poetic journalism, translation, dialect - no finer exemplar of the classical vernacular will you find.

The French philosopher Jacques Rancière challenges how we think about politics, art, and education. Here is my podcast interview with philosopher Dr Stuart Blaney where we discuss his ideas.

Awful news. RIP Ricky Hatton. #mcfc #mancity

We are extremely saddened to learn of news regarding the passing of boxing legend and lifelong #ManCity fan, Ricky Hatton. We send our heartfelt condolences to all of his family and friends at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Hitman. 🩵

Welcome to Manchester City Football Club, Gigi! 🇮🇹🩵

Yeah, that's a bit decent.

I’m standing for a seat on the #ucu NEC/HEC. The HEC carries a lot of power and responsibility. If you’re a member in an HE institution, please take the time to read the @ucucommons.bsky.social#ucupost about the national seat I’m standing for and the North East seat Adam Hansen is standing for. 1/4

I've written a short post on the specific way academics experience alienation at work. I also argue we must champion the inherent worth of what we do as well as its profitability. blog.matthewbarnard.phd/a-world-with... #ucu #academia

I couldn't let this thought go and now I've written a blog post on it: The LLM of the Gaps: AI, God and Death Angst, where I consider the similarities between the design argument and arguments that LLMs are intelligent blog.matthewbarnard.phd/the-llm-of-t... #ai #llm #philosophy

Kyren!!!

Finally got around to reading this. Andy West's unique memoir of teaching Philosophy in UK prisons. Highly recommended.

Day 1! 100 squats complete - started out in the gym with Jacqui my PT and made it fun with different types of squats. She also showed me how to stretch out my hamstrings and hips which I’ll need since there are no rest days. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/catheri...

Well...never thought of them like that before.

New podcast on Thales' Well: Matt Barnard [@matthewbarnard.phd ] joins me to talk about freedom and what it means to exist without falling into the usual free will vs determinism trap. Lots of Kant and Heidegger talk. Listen in below or Spotify, Pockets Casts etc.

New podcast audio essay. Revisiting Alan Turing’s famous 1950 paper on thinking machines. I found surprisingly a strange, funny, and quietly haunting piece. Intelligence as performance, not essence. Even includes telepathy! #AI #TuringTest #philosophy #podcast On spotify and usual podcast places>

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

Oasis pretty much giving me a second free gig at Heaton Park. I can hear them indoors! Cheers lads! They sound really tight! #oasis #manchester

Just great to see everybody walking by my house to enjoy the gig in Heaton Park, Manchester. Hope they have a brilliant time. #oasis #manchester

Recreation of world's first alarm clock. Cheers Plato!

I just wanted to write a small thing about Diogo Jota from a Wolves perspective. He came to the club at the moment of our transformation from a mid-level Championship team to a decent Premier League team. He was a big part of what I will remember as a golden age. 1/5

Starting on Derrida’s lecture course, Heidegger: The Question of Being & History with the Staffs PhD crew if you want to join in here. (You probably want to read it.)

We would like to express our deepest condolences, and send our love and prayers to the family, friends, and all those at Liverpool Football Club following the tragic passing of forward Diogo Jota in a car accident. 💔

A gofundme fund for Helen de Cruz's children, set up with Helen's blessing by @marcusarvan.bsky.social:

I've recommended David Edgerton's Shock of the Old, on a new use- and maintenance-based paradigm for history of technology, at least 5 times in the past two weeks. Way behind on posting podcasts, but this one from @drpatoc.bsky.social covers the book well -- must-listen then must-read!

Analytic/Continental divide officially over.

What a return! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

New doesn’t always mean better. In this short audio essay, I reflect on how old tech endures, and why that matters for understanding technology. Inspired by David Edgerton's The 'Shock of the Old.' Listen on usual podcast apps. #technology

Just spoke with literary theorist, tech philosopher Katherine Hayles whose work bridges humanities, science and technology. Discussed AI, LLMS, technosybmiosis and more! Available on Posthumanism and Technology + Thales' Well podcasts on Spotify and usual places. open.spotify.com/episode/5QWM...
