Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

Please don't call it that

Wonderful inaugural lecture tonight from @thatwhichischolbi.bsky.social

More bad news for Charli Xcx: John Horton did the Brat album cover in 1992

Interesting! Will go back and have a listen.

@nathanaclark.bsky.social do Liverpool’s current woes echo your worries about Slot when spurs were linked?

And spurs have won before an international break. Spooky times

Super interesting— thank you! I find it weird that he’s been such a phenomenon for so long and I’ve never had any sense of how cynical he is.

Even the bannisters are against us!

Doctorow on the impending economic collapse when the AI bubble bursts. pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

I don’t know anything about brown so ask this totally ignorantly: is he massively self-deceived about his work, trying to dupe his readers, or something else?

a common reaction from his readers, right?

"That’s what it’s for: rubbish, crumbs, dishes and accidents." Wait, WHAT?

Seems v silly (and potentially dangerous) to allow PL players, like Sanchez, to serve their suspensions by missing an early round of the league cup. (Especially when he wouldn’t have played anyway.)

New objective list theory

Yeah, watching all the highlights so far this season I worry for the long term watchability of the PL. It suddenly feels so fragmented and hard to see how any rule change could help.

Ah, thank you! I remembered it as a slightly “be careful what you wish for” situation and, watching the highlights of all the games so far, I am a bit nervous for the league in general if set pieces continue to develop like this.

@nathanaclark.bsky.social do i remember your saying on TEI (a while ago) that there’s a Scandinavian(?) league where set pieces have kinda ruined the league cos teams got too good at them? Feels like a real sea change in the PL this season, with even spurs taking great corners!

VAR confirming that the shove wasn’t from an Arsenal player so: no goal.

@liberopodcast.bsky.social recent episodes make think that there’s a Notes From Underground to be written, rebelling against analytics in football. “notes from the mixer” a potential title.

Anyone for a pain-killing penguin?

Gearing up for the new academic year in the uk

Definitely never expected to get a fee for him!

compromises must be made! (Jokes aside, our wide attacker signings of the last 4 years are easily the most baffling thing in my time as a spurs fan).

can only conclude that either Tel or Kolo Muani is our new left centre back.

Thank you! Will keep an eye out for that!

What does “play outside the block” mean? (Genuine question).

Reassuring to know others are baffled — thank you. Really worried we’ve made the summer ‘24 Werner mistake again but with Tel.
