I know we all like to think we are special and not just living stereotypes, but today I took my middle class Marxist fiance out for his birthday and we had vegan tapas, then went to see Nish Kumar and finished the evening in a live jazz pub and honestly I could get used to being that kind of person

Also, the British state just absolutely loves docking people's benefits. Just any excuse to dock benefits. Running late to an appointment? Benefits docked. Kids hanging out in the park harassing OAPs? Benefits docked. How is docking benefits going to make it easier to parent kids? Doesn't matter

According to his CV, we did the same undergraduate programme at more or less the same time. On the one hand, it makes me sad that I could have been a professor by now if I'd just churned out a bit more wacky stuff. On the other hand, I think it's funny that I straight up do not remember him at all

By now, many philosophers and scientists have articulated incisive critiques of peer review - on ethical, epistemological, scientific etc grounds. But, what I think people have failed to consider is the following argument: Some of us are really stupid and also unorganized
