It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better
Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

Thanks to @katta.bsky.social who virtually joined us at UCC to speak on Global Ethics Day...Plenty of food for thought, and brilliant reading suggestions, including this article by Hanne De Jaegher, "Loving and knowing: reflections for an engaged epistemology" link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Loving and knowing: reflections for an engaged epistemology - Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences
In search of our highest capacities, cognitive scientists aim to explain things like mathematics, language, and planning (and while explaining them, they often imagine computers at work). But are thes...

Powerful piece by Roberto Saviano in The Guardian: "Solitude is the added punishment for courage". (BTW, one of the many reasons why I will never understand the romanticisation of organised crime in popular culture...)

My life has been hell since mafia bosses blamed me for their downfall. Finally, justice has been done | Roberto Saviano
Threats were made to stop me and other journalists reporting on their crimes. Now I hope to reclaim my freedom, says writer Roberto Saviano

2,864.7 km round trip driven, almost 60 km walked, 6 ferry voyages, many ancient stones, rocky hills, beaches, and uncounted drams of whisky. That was the Northern Scotland 2025 adventure!

Acqua di San Giovanni, 2025 Edition. Traditionally, it’s made on St. John’s Eve with whatever can be found in the fields or your garden. The bowl will spend the night outside to catch the dew, and the water will smell wonderful come tomorrow morning! #acquadisangiovanni

A mixing console with brightly lit buttons and sliders is in the foreground. A water bottle and notes are on the desk, and a studio screen with a clock and “UCC 98.3FM” is visible in the background. A playlist graphic titled Shush! Sounds from UCC Library with the subtitle Shush 296 – Luigina Ciolfi Takeover.

A new snooker era…Zhao Xintong is the first Asian world champion, immensely talented, fun to watch and clearly not wanting to waste his second chance…

Zhao Xintong beats Mark Williams to become China’s first snooker world champion
Zhao Xintong beats Mark Williams to become China’s first snooker world champion
* Zhao wins 18-12 in dramatic final session in Sheffield * Zhao makes history as the first amateur to win title Zhao Xintong became the first Chinese player to be crowned snooker world champion after holding off a late rally from Mark Williams to create history at the Crucible and complete a sensational career comeback. The 28-year-old only returned to competitive snooker in September last year after being handed a 20-month suspension for his part in the match-fixing scandal which resulted in a ban for 10 Chinese players. He was forced to begin on the sport’s amateur tour and arrived in Sheffield without professional status. Continue reading...
