I'll be talking at the Association of Philosophy Teachers annual conference in Bristol on F 14 June, as will some more interesting people.
There are spaces left – book now and I look forward to seeing you there.

I wonder if AI is the reason the same AI story got repeated mistake?
Is the Andre to the question “the trend for AI to do dumb things that I human would@.

Good on the Wellcome Collection.
This is becoming more common and I hope we get to the point where it’s considered bad not to offer sanitary products rather than praiseworthy to do so.

For normal people, every issue of How to Spend It is a dream issue.

One article I definitely don’t have to read.
(The answer is No. Next.)

Such an important message (Maria del Mar Calvo Malvar via Sam Jones @TheGuardian)
We’re still too fixated on “good” & “bad” foods but they don’t exist – it’s all about dietary patterns.
This is why ultra processed food is a problem. Individually fine, a diet based on them not.

Have you used ZOE or another personalised nutrition service?
If so I'd like to hear about your experiences, good, bad and indifferent, for an article I am writing.
Please contact via my contact form (link below) as I'm very bad at checking DMs!

Surely we’re reaching Peak Cannoli?
A rare sight in the UK until recently, now even the Cornish Bakehouse is selling them!

I am that person who ask if the pastries are vegan and passes if the answer is yes.
Sorry, but butter makes for the best pastries and I don’t trust that replacement vegetable fats haven’t been highly processed.

(From the Wellcome Collection exhibition on Beauty.)

To any normal person, packing an Aeropress Go and a portable hand grinder now makes me a coffee obsessive.
But to true geeks, this is barely even an initiation to their esoteric order.
I sit betwixt coffee culture’s connoisseurs and barbarians.

This is in the Rwanda Bill that has shamefully just become law.
It effectively states that by saying that Rwanda is safe, the Secretary of State makes it so, whatever judges & law say.
Whatever you think of the plan to deport refused asylum seekers this is disturbingly Orwellian.

The philosopher Daniel Dennett has died aged 82. Last year Julian Baggini reviewed his new memoir— I’ve Been Thinking—which isn’t just about a thinker’s life—but about the thinking life itself.

I just want socks that are comfortable, durable, affordable, ethical and eco-friendly.
Is that too much to ask?
(Suggestions of purveyors of such hosiery welcome...)

What’s the protocol for face coverings for doctors and nurses in NHS hospitals these days? Are they routinely worn in any wards and/or when seeing Covid patients?
