Easy one. The most hateful have always been the most entitled.
📊 New research: People with anti-egalitarian attitudes tend to be more lenient toward corporate misconduct, but more research is needed to understand the mechanism for this relationship.

Brilliant wee tribute night set up for my Da on the 21st of this month, celebrating his contribution to the music scene across the years.

Had a lovely day down London today for the 'All Together Now' Centre for Collaboration in Community Connectedness (C4) Conference.
Great to get going in my new role and to meet the people I'll be working with to create change in the communities across the UK and Ireland over the next 4 years.

Changed days when you're getting pens as gifts, especially from friends you've travelled the world and sessioned with over 20 years...
In seriousness, I've been very lucky and recieved lots of gifts and well wishes in my last few days in Glasgow. It really means a lot. ❤️

Yesterday was my final day at @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social. Thank you to the librarians, canteen staff, security, and fellow lecturers and researchers for making my time there so enjoyable. Thanks also to the students who kept it entertaining and I can't wait to see what you go on to achieve. ❤️

First time in about two years where my day hasn't consisted of something work-related. Took a trip round Common Ground Southside. Had some Spanish eggs and a cortada. Noticed some interesting flags flying across Shawlands and Battlefield. Easy to forget to live at times; this was a nice wee morning.

Couple leaving gifts today from people I've got to know through the years at GCU. Across the library, the canteen, and the general staff, from cleaners to security, I've met some amazing humans who I've come to call friends. I'll be sad to leave, and this was such a nice touch.
One week left. ❤️

Just finished this book that I purchased at its launch last week.
Criminal Justice in Scotland, written by Jamie Buchan, Sarah Anderson, and Katrina Morrison of the SCCJR. A brilliant wee textbook that will be of great use for undergraduate students in particular. One for your criminology classes!

Someone decided to hack my @linkedin.com account. So, if you don't see me on there anymore, then that's why. Hearing this more often now, especially with larger accounts. Not completely bothered, just annoying they've done it now after years of building up contacts.

Thesis in. Viva 16th December.
Four years of pure drama - little of which involved the research itself. I just hope I've done my participants, and my class proud.

Fantastic series.
Great story, but given that I wasn't too familiar with the Yakuza prior to this, the symbolism and the rituals throughout, however limited they are, gives the show another layer - very well done. After this, I plan to read a lot more about them; really fascinating.
Recommend.
