George Butterworth's 'Six Songs from A Shropshire Lad' is one of my favourite cycles for the baritone repertoire. Here's a recording of 'The Lads in their Hundreds', made with @PhilipRobinso18. Thanks to the splendid @FS_RecordsUK for sound and video.

Something about LLM hype culture renders a man immune to the experience of embarrassment. If I couldn’t tell the difference between PhD-level scholarship and grammatical gibberish I simply would not announce that to a global audience.

And you can pry my em dash from my cold, dead hands, bitch. I will never stop using it. You're all telling on yourselves when you say you've never encountered it prior to AI. It's all over the place.

In the ongoing political pothole wars in Nottinghamshire
Reform UK now blame the state of the county’s roads on the last Tory Administration at County Hall
From 2021 - 2024 - The Leader of Notts CC was Reform UK’s now Head of Local Govt Delivery (and ex Tory) Ben Bradley

Reform UK’s @RobertJenrick is campaigning against the poor work of Nottinghamshire Council.
Has anyone told him Nottinghamshire Council is Reform UK-run?

The reason our identity as a Christian country is being eroded is far more a product of atheists like Charlotte than anything else. The Christian faith is not just a culture war costume for you to wear. If you want us to be a Christian country, turn to Christ and go to church

This really is a disgraceful performance at PMQs by Starmer. He just referred to a live court case and had to be admonished by The Speaker. Badenoch, Davey and Flynn all asked questions which needed to be answered calmly and with contrition. All he did was bluster and insult.

Saying the quiet part out loud.
A Reform government will be a government of personal revenge. Any slight and these thin skinned snowflakes will come for you, and judging by the ignorance displayed here, anyone that shares your name.

Replying to @IsabelOakeshott @reformparty_uk
Stripping funding to a university due to the actions of a single university society is exactly the type of thin-skinned over-reaction that you would expect from Reform UK.

The thing Keir Starmer cannot say:
"Of course I knew the man had sinister secret ties to Jeffrey Epstein. That's why I chose him. The job was to protect Britain from the madness of President Caligula. Epstein connections are a bona fide job qualification for that mission."

Donald Trumps name appears more often in the Epstein Files than Harry Potters name appears in all 7 Harry Potter books.

With student loans the UK government has become a loanshark. Trapping poorly paid graduates in decades of “debt” that they can realistically never repay. If it were a commercial deal the govt would be trying to regulate the company out of business.

As a neuroscientist, here are 8 ways to maximise misery:
1. Check your phone immediately after waking.
Flood your brain with news designed to make you anxious and angry.
Definitely one for @cigsm
