It's been a while, Canvey. Lot more flags around than I remember...

Just turned on the TV. Why is this loser talking about the Apprentice? What a tool.

Finally putting the big screen in the Philosophy Department to good use! Come on England!

I love having a wall-chart for a football tournament. Just added the extremely tense Lionesses win from last night. #Lionesses #Euro2025

At the opening of the Joint Session, hearing from Simon Kirchin about the state of the profession...
This is gonna be depressing, isn't it?

FYI: Extremely British post.

I've been a long-time advocate of Yorkshire Tea as my number 1, but recently I tried these (at about a third of the price). They're not half bad!

On my last journey of my Interrail Euro trip. Sadly this one is a sad English train, which is also full, and I having to stand. AND I left Berlin before 7am this morning. Not ideal.
Successful journey though, and definitely would recommend the #Interrail.

In Berlin, with a big crowd, waiting for Nine Inch Nails....

The trains in Europe are so good. My train from Berlin to Poznan is in this cosy little number!

In cheerier news, yesterday I finished Balatro. This took far longer than I would care to admit. What do I do with my life now...?

It's okay folks. Crisis over. I've got a new Buffy lunch box! :D

Got distracted from my lecture-writing for tomorrow looking for a picture of the Big Bad I Said No, from the 80s British TV show Stoppit and Tidyup.
Will the students get my reference? No, of course not. But is it worth it? Also, probably no.

I'm in a tragic situation for an R&R. A reviewer has acknowledged that my comment is "humorous" but suggested I replace it with something slightly more accurate. But... but...

To save money (by motivating myself to have a packed lunch), three years ago, I bought myself a Buffy The Vampire Slayer lunchbox. Time has been cruel to Willow.
Time for a new lunchbox investment?

I discovered during lockdown that I really liked banana ketchup, but the place I got it from closed a couple of years ago.
Just got some more, and am unreasonably excited by this. #BananaKetchup

My stats at the moment.

Paper rejection today, but I did get a wave of (slowly-getting-it) laughter for one of my hilarious visual gags. Win some, lose some.

Giving a talk later on the epistemic effects of generative AI. Big news: we've got a new "Epistemic X" dropping!

Supervising a dissertation on the ethics of pornography at the moment, and noticed a very unfortunate typo in the bibliography of the SEP article on pornography and censorship. #PhilSky
