Without meaning to, I ended up visiting Kierkegaard’s grave the other day. Had long forgotten he only lived to 42 - the chap who lectured on his work when I was an undergrad must have been close to twice that at the time (early 2000s).
This seems like a fairly sensible policy from Tidal, even if my personal preference would be for them to refuse AI generated content altogether, or at least give us the option to hide all labelled as such by default.
Things have been shit at Dundee recently, but graduation today reaffirmed what it's all about and what makes it all worthwhile. So proud of our graduates. Here's a photo of some of our students with some of the staff.
Dunno if this is new, or just new for me: a conspiracy theory about rabies, of all things.
Primark selling Death Cab for Cutie T-shirts seems like a violation of some sort.
I've just been made aware that @professormusgrave.bsky.social is at again. profmusgrave.github.io/anotherday
Heading to BISA next week. Looking forward to it. This is my one and only contribution. If anyone is short a chair for their panel, happy to help out. See you there.
This is the worst thing out of the Murrell embezzlement. ~£6k on premium coffee gear then he's drinking instant coffee? 15-20 years for that alone.
Spotted this near my house. Links to a Restore UK YouTube video. So I'm going to get stickers of QR code that links to this instead: youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?...
I see UKIP are trying to regain relevance on the far right fringes by playing the religion card. Though Central London seems like an odd choice of location for his return.
Back at PlaySport for Caledonia Gladiators vs Manchester Basketball in the playoffs. Great comeback win for the Gladiators. Hopefully it’ll be a sell-out for the semi-final next week.
That was nice of the Scotland U21s rugby team to try to make the Atlanta Hawks feel better about their 140-89 loss to the Knicks.
Next week, my younger brother Craig will attempt a massive physical challenge by climbing 36 Munros (Scottish mountains with a peak over 3,000ft/914m) over 6 days while carrying an additional 36lbs of weight. Why would he do that, you might ask? Good question! Read on...
15th anniversary of the greatest tweet of all time. Happy Ed Balls Day to all who celebrate.
