And if Algeria and Austria draw, they are both through. If Scotland were in the situation of having a final game where a draw guaranteed passage for us and our opponents, the tartan army would be furious if the team took any risks at all and it didn't end 0-0

Semi-final #SAA #EthicsBowl 2026 #Youngstown State University #YSU v #Indiana University of #Pennsylvania #IUP - & #IUP wins #SAA2026SFO Very good point made about #consequentialism, and it made me think - is all academic, curiosity-led #archaeology doing more environmental harm than social good?

Turning on US tv this morning (here for a conference) and I was so moved by seeing this clip. Ice hockey in #Buffalo (NY state, USA), match against Canadian team. Anthem singer's microphone fails and the (American) crowd sings the Canadian national anthem wonderfully #OCanada x.com/Sportsnet/st...

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.
