Bad Faith Argument!!!

Brilliant from @kevinclimate.bsky.social as always - making abundantly clear the inconvenient truth this Govt is forever trying to duck & dodge: expanding aviation capacity is fundamentally incompatible with the UK’s climate obligations

what you mean now the deep state is changing the rules of geometry to hide its tracks? big if true...

Looking forward to being in conversation with the brilliant artist Liliane Lijn for EA Festival at the Minories, Colchester, Tuesday 30 September. Come and join us!

(Also I'm teaching @universityofessex.bsky.social this year – very exciting!)

haven't you just successfully said both those things? Of course, disagreement and other forms of speech could also happen.

We all move in different circles - right? but what I've experienced in UK arts/higher Ed only ranges between encouragement and disaproval as means to effect change in perception, and consequent speech. No actual censorship.

'state'/colour...

Yes, and fend off the fascists, which is what he's worst at

Bad faith powerplays.

Go Lula!

Great and inspiring in many ways, but my question is this: should good faith conversation between individuals be treated in the same way as communication strategies on impersonal platforms?

offered a paper report and asked 'What can you make of this'? Not to reply 'A hat, a broach, a pterodactyl' (Airplane)

Nuclear energy does provide plentiful clean energy. But exponential growth in demand continues. Modernity involving perpetual growth and stable environment do not fit.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Bogeymen. That's who faragists want to keep out. None of these reality based groups.

I don't think we're on the same landmass, but as a short course / intersdisciplinary partnership thingy, this would have fantastic arts interest

presumably in the balloon they're speaking in ancient Greek and sniffing flowers

St George was a Turkish guy (best we know); Also venerated by Islamic scholars as Al Khidr; Also recongised in Afro-Brazilian religions as Ogun, warrior/blacksmith spirit. There are other ways to look at this flag

Isn't there some Aesop fable that deals with asking for a bit more every time but never being satisfied? Probably involving a silly baker with a biscuit and a greedy weasel who ends up gnawing the idiot's head off.

I particularly hate the insincerity of the greeting. Like they're delighted to spot a long lost friend. I imagine sustaining such fakeness in the face of constant rebuffs must harm the soul.

Ahh gotcha!

Gang banger means something very different in UK. I was really lost until I looked up other meanings

good observation, but the comparison between words we read and weeds we wear stretches when they're at different points of the 'performativity-interiority spectrum'.

'military age'.

great listing! starts off as absurdity, then moves through the poetic before you realise that all along it's been political satire.

I fear their shrugging is concern free.

It galls rather that we have to pay to maintain their tree, but yes, I think that's cheaper than solicitors in the face of total indifference.

our neighbours have a sycamour just inside their boundary that is slowly cracking up our outhouse. They're entirely uninterested in taking responsibility for it.

Your country is one among many. Destroy yourselves with car-ism, but please don't proselytise beyond your national boundaries (eg on the world wide web)
