It's rather convenient that philosophy and humanities subjects are being erased when they are most needed. Nick Couldry's 'Predatory AI: How We Can Resist Corporate Capture of the Human Mind' argues we are making the wrong social contract with AI. #booksky

Borrowed time. I love this eight minute introduction to D.H. Lawrence by @jameswalker2024.bsky.social who talks about how Lawrence taught him to live in the moment, rather than on devices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKx5...

Really loved Beth Steele's Till the Stars Come Home at Nottingham Playhouse. Felt like I was at the wedding with the audience interaction and music. Felt great to go the theatre and laugh at some killer one liners instead of watching people get killed on TV.

Jon Ronson's The Castle isn't quite as thematically tight as his other work, but is as prescient as ever. Ronson and David Sadaris are the only two writers who I prefer to listen to with audiobooks. Their distinctive voices are as integral to the telling as their words. #booksky

J.D Vance's speech at the Rep midterms on Thursday included the obligatory dog whistle in ref to George Floyd. He's too articulate for this not to be deliberate - "I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States, that loves us so much he can't breathe".
