RIP Dave Ball. I genuinely think that early eighties synth pop was one of those times when the avant garde broke through to the mainstream, opening things up musically and culturally. Checkout the BBC's Synth Britannia doc, from 2009, if you've never seen it. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Win or lose today, the transformation in this wallabies team from the team that went into the first Lions test is incredible. With ball in hand they're a joy to watch. Exhibition stuff but played under pressure against the best teams. #NZLvsAUS

The Springboks have been sensational in this second half. #NZLvsRSA #TheRugbyChampionship

All Blacks & Springboks treating us again to some of the most intense, exciting & highest quality rugby you're likely to see. Can we have this every week?! #NZLvsRSA #TheRugbyChampionship

What a game of rugby. Privilege to watch. The quality of plays, the handling, the tackles, the physicality, the defense. All as good as it gets. #NZLvsRSA #RugbyChampionship

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

Series thoughts: Lions never really impressed, less than the sum of their parts. Didn't look like the kind of impressive Farrell machine of a team that we'd hoped to see. Australia stepped up in games 2 & 3 & credit to them. Having said that, I think they'll struggle against SA & NZ. #AusvLions

Poor performance by the Lions. I don't care what the conditions are, if every time you kick the ball for the first 50 minutes the opposition take it cleanly you have to try a different tactic. They're basically just giving away possession & failing to even try to build any momentum. #AusvLions

Big half time for Andy Farrell here. If he gets it right the Lions should still win this comfortably but if the same team appear for the second half they could lose to a team that has no business getting close to them. #AusvLions

#AusvLions Russell now missed two conversations. Get Owen Farrell on at half time, he'll kick the goals, inject some aggression and lead by example

Embarrassing performance by the Lions against a bang-average Aus team. Aus might be playing well but there's no way they should be posing problems for this lions side if the latter were playing at their best. Big questions for Andy Farrell. Lackluster, missed tackles, poor decision-making #AusvLions

Good. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As poor as the Australian team are, the Lions aren't looking impressive and aren't playing in a way I'd associate with a Farrell side. They'll still win this by a margin, by international rugby union standards, but it's not impressive. #AusvLions

I never thought I'd say this but it's sad to see what appears to be the terminal decline of Australian rugby union. I've rarely had less interest in a Lions test. France Vs Lions would have been a more interesting series. #AusvLions

Interesting reflections on MacIntyre by Geuss newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

My brother was telling me this the other day. I confess it made me quite self-conscious about my writing, because I've always made liberal use of em-dashes. They can be found littered throughout my 2008 book Shame and Philosophy. Now I feel I want to avoid them so as to assert my humanity!

Today I posted the 31st & final entry in a thread commemorating the work of Jeff Coulter, following his death in April. While not an exhaustive list, I hope it offers a sense of Jeff’s distinctive contribution, combining Rylean OLP with EMCA. The complete thread is here: bsky.app/hashtag/Jeff...
