Love a good Wittgenstein and Alan Turing banter!
What would Wittgenstein make of ChatGPT?

Tom Clark reviews a brisk new biography of the philosopher—and finds the grouchy Austrian more relevant than ever.
The eternal relevance of Ludwig Wittgenstein
As a new biography shows, Wittgenstein is eternally relevant—perhaps especially as we grapple with chatbots and large language models

Let’s replace the notion of a ‘spectrum’ with clearer groupings of
autism, Asbergers and hypersensitivity says @utafrith.bsky.social

Autism study is my life’s work. The spectrum has lost all meaning
A professor who helped to shape our framing of the condition fears so many characteristics are linked to it that it’s ‘no longer a useful diagnosis’

Just wonderful!
This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place.

Forthcoming concert in Hackney! Lots of stunning harmony singing in weird languages plus guest musicians Jeremy Young and Holly Cullen Davies performing piano duets. And a bar.

What Moira says.. if you are interested I make an appearance about half way through.
Another fab film of @climatechoirs.bsky.social demanding to #StopRosebank Some nice little vox pops of singers explaining why they're a part of this movement.

Email this clip to your MP and ask them to sign the #StopRosebank pledge.

This is rather wonderful. I miss working with these old tape machines. Liked the Revox B77 best. Now they can have a new lease of life. Bravo!

Starting something without a proper plan is a recipe for disaster. Especially when it comes to combatting the climate crisis. That's why we’ve joined forces with @chrisgpackham.bsky.social, Drag Race UK star Crystal and Dylan Bachelet to help demand a #BigClimatePlan that delivers a brighter future.

Proud to have been part of this essential action. Disgraceful that the established church is party to such degradation of wildlife in the UK.
Breaking: 200-strong Climate Choir stages flashmob in St Paul's Cathedral, demanding that @churchofengland.org - a top ten UK landowner - #rewild 30% of its land.

Nature is in crisis. Time to #RewildTheChurch!

Once seen hard to erase from one's memory. A great and poignant photo.
There’s no way like the American way, Louisville in 1937 by Margaret Bourke-White.

Found this magical place today "Parole d'oro" in the hills above Lucca. It collects water once transferred by the Acquedotto Nottolini into the old city. The walk worked up an appetite for yet more pasta in the close by Casina delle Rose.

It seems a few people enjoyed one of the photos from my old project on UK Fairgrounds. These were shot in 1977-1978 during my final years at Harrow School of Photography. I'm pleased to say they are now part of the National Fairground & Circus Archive at Sheffield Uni. #photography #fairground
