    Anyone watched Ted Lasso?

    Made me laugh more than anything I've watched in years. Wee bit cheesy at times but uses humour to look at difficult issues with a bit of lightness. Lots of charming and entertaining characters.

    How can the right (and centre) have better (or any) conversations with the left?

    John Quiggin, Aussie economist on his blog: It’s a movie we’ve seen over and over again in US politics. Centrists engage in respectful discussion with a thoughtful conservative[1], only to discover they are actually talking to a dishonest troll. Yet, just like Charlie Brown lining up to kick...

    Rugby World Cup

    Anyone watching? An Ireland - France final is looking lie a strong possibility this year. They were both very impressive in their opening games (and both excellent in the 6 Nations this year). Probably the worst England team I've ever seen. Scotland not likely to get out of the groups unless...

    SQL?

    I'm trying to learn SQL. Found a freeCodeCamp tutorial on youtube as a starting point. Does anyone have any resources they would recommend or just useful hints and tips? I would consider textbooks, websites, courses (paid or free).

    Possible compromise on the UK monarchy

    Turns out I've got Monday off work because Charlie's getting a new hat, so I'm all for coronations now. Can't wait for the next one. Anyway, there's plenty to say about the funding of this fancy dress party, especially given the current situation here. So I was thinking, wouldn't it make more...

    Is consciousness "sharp" or "vague"

    Take consciousness to mean experience. A man in a coma, dreaming for forty years, is conscious as he's the subject of experience, for instance. Is consciousness an either-or phenomenon? As in, either a subject has an experience or doesn't. In other words is consciousness "sharp"? This isn't...

    Precision fermentation

    Guardian columnist George Monbiot had this piece published on the food tech process called precision fermentation. It might not live up to the hype, but the possibility of high-protein nutritious food without the costs in land, water, carbon, labour and animal welfare sounds promising. From the...

    Are mystical experiences induced by psychedelics authentic?

    Hoping to do this without breaking the rules. I found this paper recently: Psychedelics alter metaphysical beliefs - PubMed Results revealed significant shifts away from 'physicalist' or 'materialist' views, and towards panpsychism and fatalism, post use.
