You would have enjoyed the feminist vegan argument from Aoife at the end, Jamie, which no one seems to want to quote.

🍏 It's impossible to miss our native Crab Apple this time of year. You don't even have to look up but rather at their feet. Sharing an abundance of apples for all creatures great and small. Including humans - once extracted, these trees are quite easy to grow from seed. Give it a go this year!

Ireland’s performance on #climate mitigation is the worst in Europe and will still be the worst in 2030. In this infographic that’s measured by the size of the gap between the left of the green bar graph (cuts achieved) and the blue dot (2030 goal).

Once a week, I pay a human to teach me piano. It means that I get to take a break from my PhD research & experience the joy of making different kinds of connections - cognitive, human & aesthetic. And then I go for a walk on the beach & listen to nature’s rhythms. Excruciatingly tedious, of course.

Times Higher has just covered this story, and report the CAF’s claim that the inquiry will not be pre-judged. They do not report the clear conflict of interest posed by appointing Pinker to the panel, who repeatedly tweeted his opinion of Arday, including “sociopathic liar” bsky.app/profile/time...

Extract from the THE piece:

University of Exeter philosopher Edward
Skidelsky, director of CAF, said the review began with "no predetermined conclusion".

I work with a lovely person who's a really dedicated hard worker. They've just quit because their landlords ended the lease and they won't be able to find or afford a new place in Dublin. It's horrible for them. It's also unfair to the public to lose that good of a person from the public sector.

One fun History of Logical Positivism fact is that A.J. Ayer played a non-trivial role in mid 20th century gay rights legislation in the UK. His self-description on this always amuses me. In any case, they were a big part of the process which went from the Wolfenden Report to decriminalisation!

Ayer was known for his advocacy of humanism, and was the second president of the (then) British Humanist Association 1965-1970.[5] He was also president of the Homosexual Law Reform Society for a time; remarking that "as a notorious heterosexual I could never be accused of feathering my own nest."

Why is the Government pumping more than €20 million into greyhound racing while animal welfare concerns continue to mount? Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore argues that Budget 2027 shows just how far down the government's list of priorities animal welfare really is. jrnl.ie/7188354

Why is the government keeping the greyhound industry on life support with taxpayers' money?

Judging by its Budget 2027 choices, it appears this government sees animal welfare as some kind of game.
