Like getting rid of juries.

Was she burning down the house?

Also, I admit my example probably wasn’t the best. I tried and I was tired, so I probably didn’t succeed.

I see your point but I’d still say, in usage, the emphasis is different. Not at all the same with PIN.

But in terms of usage, that’s not really how it works.
“Could you open the window?”
“I’m trying.”
“Well, could you try and open it?!?”

Except that ‘succeed’ can be replaced by the specific thing you are trying to achieve. E.g., I can try and open the window, I can try and pass the exam.

Thanks Alan!

Invisible, by Mike Majkowski 6 track album

The available tracks here are phenomenal. Late AOTY potential here.

And what are the other nine?

The Los Thuthanaka album sounds like Disco Inferno on peyote. In a good way, obviously.

Were there any good films out this year? I think I made it to the cinema once. Did I miss anything of note?

He’s the John Cleese of post-punk.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

Join us this evening for our public seminar on Lacan, desire, Spike Jonze and AI.

The presentation at the start of the viva seems to be more and more common but it’s a risk too. When it’s not expected, it can wrong foot examiners.

Changes in Air, by Kara-Lis Coverdale 5 track album

I struggled to find the right music to recover from today’s chaos and then this. Perfect.

I didn’t get the joke, that’s all. Nothing too serious.

I know. That’s what I didn’t understand. Surely the value of any asset is what people value it at. Where does fair come into it?

I didn’t understand the comment you reposted.

?

I know. Hence my ‘looking for a proper winter.’ Volume three has landed in English and I can’t wait! Should’ve really started it on Tuesday but I had no time.

It snowed in Brussels, if you are looking for a proper winter.
