I've been working on my own cocktail database / website - mixology.tools - to enable advanced data analytics.

This is still a work in progress, but it's advanced to a point where I want to open it up to feedback.

It's source & open data: see mixology.tools/about.html for links.

Cheers!

It looks like I will have some capacity for PhD and visiting PhD supervision from next year; if you're interested in researching the cultural commons, cultural value and cultural policy, or know someone who does, get in touch!

Someone on Twitter writes: "Unfortunately die work wear or whatever is a psyop to turn men into women . Cuz why the hell else would he be telling them to dress that gay"

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

How oblivious to flirting are you? When I was 19-21, I was convinced that the girl that came to my apartment like 3 times a week and usually sat on my lap was just a good pal

Done! Nice to have you on board!
