Big Wittgensteinian vibes in The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I feel it: there’s nothing like the orgiastic thunder of music after spending all day searching in the dark for metaphysical formulations in words!

Just one final tweet from me: Whether you're a Saints fan, a philosopher, a vegan, a metalhead, a friend I've had for years, or someone with whom I've only had an online connection, join me over on Bluesky. Our communities are growing anew. bsky.app/profile/jamesclarkr…

Okay, it's definitely time for a break from this toxic, clickbaity, manipulative platform.

We were entertained with 7 goals (not including 3 which were disallowed). Cup winners were everywhere. And the defence had 300 caps between them. Yet we defended like Saints.

I hate watching the NHS fall into the hands of private companies. We're now at a stage (or we've been there for a while) where companies don't have to respond to GP referrals and my GP's policy is that I should do the chasing: we're outsourcing admin to patients. Abysmal.

For various reasons we should strive for harmony with nature. But is nature itself harmonious? If left to its own devices, it certainly isn't efficient. Every second innumerable animals and plants die without procreating or going about their other worldly matters.

Southampton FC is not a real football establishment but a long cruel social experiment to study how much pain and grief one can withstand in a single lifetime #saintsfc

An "altruism sink" is an institution that systematically exploits its employees' altruism, claiming all the time and energy they might otherwise spend volunteering or actively campaigning for good causes. We should worry about altruism sinks. (1/2)

Boys put in a shift there today, was strange to see a knackered Dibling / Aribo not replaced with Lallana at 2-1… but felt like with a little bit of luck we could have snatched a 2-2. Positives certainly

Tbh, I was worried when we played well against Liverpool in the FA Cup last year (and lost 3-0). The performance in the first half probably helped persuade RM that his style of football would work in the PL, when actually this was but one game against a B-side. #SaintsFC

Today is the day my worst fears were realised: I dropped my attention for a few seconds and emailed hundreds of people instead of one.

I didn't even select 'reply all', something which I've clearly become too focused on avoiding, for in my distraction I fell into the trap of their evil cousin: sending an email to a similarly named email address.

But, hang on, people are sending me nice emails back. Maybe I should spam them more often.
