@OtagoLaw @LewSOS The Wasp Factory was just a tale of everyday folk in rural Scotland. 🤷‍♂️

Are you teaching technology ethics this fall? Or are you a student taking a class on the topic? Then you might find the 10-episode podcast series "This is Technology Ethics" by @JohnDanaher and me helpful. Based on my book with the same name: https://t.co/ikWqkFQHhI #aiethics

@LiamMcIlvanney I read Devil's Day a few weeks back, which was ... unsettling. And The Loney was outstanding. So aye, this goes on the list.

@EternalEnglish @SnoChiMinh @doctor_oxford @LindaFoundation "I'm for England and the English."

They're coming to Scotland, so not really your business, eh?

As a final point, if you really think the SNP are doing a bad job of governing at Holyrood, the thing to do is to vote them out in 2026, not to give Ian Murray an increase in his pocket money.

@GerryHassan Fair play, she ticked off the whole GBN bingo card without pausing for breath!

@RickGualtieri @TalkScaredPod Such echoes of the chilling and pivotal statement from Logan Roy in Succession: "no real people involved."

@ianthom94585013 @TomABacon I'm a UK law professor agreeing with a whole bunch of other UK law experts on here, and wasting our time arguing with a bunch of anonymous randoms intent on propogating a conspiracy fantasy. Ah, such times we live in...

[Colin Gavaghan @ColinGavaghan]

@evolutionplants @Helen_Barnard "Many young people" surely = most people under about 75. Because that expectation changed a looong time ago.

[Colin Gavaghan @ColinGavaghan]

@ianthom94585013 @TomABacon So your response to confounding evidence is to ... run back to the Daily Mail. Interesting.

[Colin Gavaghan @ColinGavaghan]

@ianthom94585013 @TomABacon These are the sentences handed down to the Kill the Bill rioters. They are at least as severe as those being handed out to the recent rioters. As usual, conspiracy fantasy doesn't survive first contact with the evidence.

Saw this on Facebook, I'd just add "and then buy the record collection all over again".

@GBL59378365 @AaronBastani @ColinBrazierTV Why? I can understand concerns about changing values or culture, up to a point. But if you're bothered about the *whiteness* of the population, that's just pure racism.
