ICYMI: "Why Plato Matters Now" @drangiehobbs with @_jonhawkins and Peter West Why Plato's approach to writing is important; his model for respectful debate; the ethics of flourishing and justice, and his tripartite psyche and social classes #Philosophy youtube.com/watch?v=qbqrO1…

Join us for a deep dive into The Philosophy of Headphones with @jakedownsmusic. In Part 1, we explore how headphones create a comforting sense of 'homeliness,' evoke powerful memories, and influence our personal identity. Let our voices guide you — Part 2 drops in two weeks!

@Connexxion Thanks, VM. I have DM’d you. I really appreciate your fast reply on this

@_jonhawkins @_jonhawkins Hello, unfortunately this bus has already returned to the depot and will not be turning back. A colleague will be there later today to check the vehicle. Please send us a direct message so we can update you once we have more information! ^VM

@Connexxion hey! I’ve just left a bag on your Amsterdam airport connection, can you help?

@Connexxion Hi, it was the 397 arriving at around 7.10pm at the Leidseplein stop. It’s a blue bag branded as puma. We are sat at the stop hoping the bus might come back round on its way to the airport? Thanks for the help

@_jonhawkins @_jonhawkins Hi there, do you have the number of the bus line and the time and stop of departure, or even the vehicle number? It would also be helpful if you could describe the bag. We may then be able to contact the driver to ask if they've found anything. ^VM

@ChrisNatre @UniversityLeeds I appreciate that, @chrisnatre. I have you to thank for inspiring me at a young age!

@_jonhawkins @UniversityLeeds Many congrats 👏🎉. What an incredible opportunity.

I am thrilled to be joining the @UniversityLeeds as a PhD Researcher in Philosophy this Autumn 🥳. Working under Helen Beebee and Helen Steward, my research will sit at the intersection between debates on Free Will and AI. I'm excited to share more as my work develops! [1/2]

With special thanks to everyone who has supported me on this path so far (without which this would not have been possible). I would also like to express my gratitude to @AHRCpress and @WRoCAH for this incredible opportunity! [2/2]
