Are you a member of academic teaching staff at a university where arts/culture courses are being cut? Would like to hear from you. Drop me an email summarising what's being cut, impact & a contact number & will try to get back to you. Drop me a line at: [email protected]

@amber_bowen A new one but there’s a lot to dig into in Cormac McCarthy’s final duology The Passenger and Stella Maris (a lot of end of life ruminations on epistemology, ontology and philosophy of mathematics that have clearly sprung from his tenure at Santa Fe Institute)

@LolOverruled It takes on another dimension when you read alongside The Sunset Limited. Both are riffs on the Book of Job, but The Road functions as more of a grail quest (early working title was The Grail)

@hannahrosewoods Worth a visit to Harlow Carr if you have the time

@DaftLimmy Girlfriend brought home a can of both for a blind taste test. Would say that Pepsi Max Cherry definitely more sugary, but tastes a bit closer to Dr Pepper so loses points for that in my book

[David Maclean @D_MacAilean]

@hannahrosewoods Congrats Hannah!
