@dai_alectic Defos again empirics personal experience caveat but younger bands seem to come through music degree pathways which suggests a classed turn (in my tendentious anecdata analysis anyhow ) very different from school dropout mileu I came from (again tendentious )

Proud dad moment but after the absolute worst imaginable experience at uni - my daughter got a first !!!

@dai_alectic Yeah the aspiring to be in a band doesn't seem to be as big a deal as it was in my day (my empirical sample being my 2 children) definitely think sheeranism is a determinant there . I guess there could be a license scheme for acoustic guitar tied to quality standards haha

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

@chrisokane_nyc Going to have to give that a listen now...

[DDBB @DDBB18761960]

@chrisokane_nyc @kayrosso1 That made me lol ...

With all the chat that's happening around ai and data centres am wondering how long it will take some middle or senior manager chump at work to go all linkedin self congratulations about innovation jobs and green growth

@MccailColl @TheSkotia And also the opportunity costs of the sites themselves ... Have those calculations been made ?

[DDBB @DDBB18761960]

@MccailColl @TheSkotia Also will this result in an upscaling of construction sector capacity ? If not then will be zero sum game with competing pipelines such as housing projects

@TherynDArnold @SimonCa00488810 Think I need to reread it as well ac feel in contradicting myself all over the place here haha

[DDBB @DDBB18761960]

@TherynDArnold I need someone to give me a hardcore primer from between 2000 to now before I can re-engage with it!

[DDBB @DDBB18761960]

@TherynDArnold @SimonCa00488810 I'm drunk just now so probably not making an sense ...

[DDBB @DDBB18761960]

@TherynDArnold @SimonCa00488810 Clarke et al makes more sense when there was more of a labour movement imo

[DDBB @DDBB18761960]

@TherynDArnold @SimonCa00488810 Jessop (1990) is a banger

[DDBB @DDBB18761960]

@Tom_Gann Probably something could be said about the commodification of terrace culture and it's intersection with leftist struggles within that mileu decades ago - eg afa/red action organising in the terraces in 80s/90s.

@its_mccarthy Thinking of folks getting into this for first through your seminar and one book that cuts across this particularly from milibands critique of liberal pluralism and elite theory and poulantzas critique of miliband and broad sweep of the literature but easy to digest
