Potato painter, friend of magpies. Nostalgia is the cage we make for ourselves. We must all curate our own mythologies. Sometimes the only sensible thing to do is shut myself in a dark room and scream myself hoarse
Mine too, I can't get my head around it. That said I would read a batman/v for vendetta crossover. I think Moore would have to write it though. I wouldn't trust it to anyone else. I might have to buy a copy of V for V again to read it for clues!

Either Labour is in some kind of far right headlock that is cutting off the blood supply to its brain and soul. Or it cynically hopes flag-mania and anti-immigrant posturing make it look strong and patriotic.
Neither position is compatible with responsible leadership or success for the country.

I'm always reminded of this scene when the public cheer on these two bit, authoritarian populists who demand ripping up laws, rights & conventions to solve all our problems.

I've advocated for open source software – proven, reliable, inexpensive – in HE for over a decade and interpreted the lack of take up as an indication of a risk-averse culture in university IT and management. Then commercial companies come along with "AI" and risk assessments go out the window.
find it mystifying that these completely unproven tools are being used for critical tasks by hitherto quite conservative organisations
