It’s 25 years since we lost Douglas Adams. I am happy to have been able to get a reference to him into this piece in the FT about why the humanities are essential www.ft.com/content/fbde...

Why was I thinking this could be an acoustic gig?

I only read The Hobbit so that I could argue I had a least tried entering that fictional world. I was probably 20 years old.

We are the future and it is dystopian which does not mean it is illogical. In fact, it is the logical outcome of the set of imperatives we have created.

‘(…) students doing a moderate 11–20 hours of paid work a week are the most career-confident, while those working 21-plus hours fall below even those doing none.’ You may be onto something here. Those who can afford to do only moderate paid work, are likely to have a more affluent background.

I worked there many years ago. It was and probably still is a peculiar place. 😽

The typical traits of men’s homosocial communities. Think of Masonic lodges, officer clubs back in the day, — the local pub used not to admit women to the main bar. Manospheric men are creating new single-gender spaces for themselves where their toxic ideology goes unchallenged.

Somebody should invite me to read my poetry to a live audience.

Some argue that fighting about history on the internet is a tradition which dates back to Roman gladiatorial matches, where the "inter net" in question was cast by retiarii. The consensus view is that it's actually much more modern- having been invented by Victorian gentlemen to pass the time

Part of my research includes "ITE" or DIY/Outsider art in Finland. So, it was great to go and see the large exhibition, "Karnivaali" of ITE art in Hämeenlinna this week! Lots of queer ruralities on show incl. Jyri Rastas from Tampere and my research subject Veijo Rönkkönen.

‘Without the arts and humanities, we are left without the tools to transform and think beyond the systems which entrap us. They are a vital lifeline out of the capitalist logic which suffocates imagination and empathy because, after all, the humanities recognise and nurture human connection.’

When @molliesimpson.bsky.social started reporting on the renamed Bolton University two years ago, I had *no idea* it would turn into one of the biggest scandals in the history of UK higher education. Proper, proper reporting of the kind that a functioning society relies upon.

Die Berliner CDU hat übrigens bereits in den 1990er und frühen 2000er Jahren mit KI in der Regierung experimentiert und diese sogar unter dem Namen DeepGen zur Regierenden Bürgermeisterin erhoben, bevor sie im Jahre 2001 deaktiviert wurde.
