  • TRNSMT: Please hold your nerve and keep Kneecap

    1 week ago | thenational.scot | Pat Kane

    Members of Kneecap attending the Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) Awards Ceremony THE Belfast agit-rappers Kneecap might be shaping up to be this era’s Sex Pistols. “I wanna destroy passers-by” and the Queen’s “fascist regime” parallel easily with stage shouts of “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah” and “the only good Tory is a dead Tory”.

  • If Scotland has an 'independence cohort', they have a lot of work to do

    2 weeks ago | thenational.scot | Pat Kane

    Young Scots must look to community ownership of energy to help build a new nation, Pat Kane writes A “COHORT” – if the term comes to your mind at all – sounds military. Indeed, it was the name for one-tenth of a Roman legion. But that itself came from the Latin “cohors”, meaning enclosure, farmyard or retinue.

  • Pat Kane: Christopher Nolan's historical epic could do modern Scots a service

    3 weeks ago | thenational.scot | Pat Kane

    ODYSSEUS is coming to Scotland. Or at least, Scotland has turned up on the location list for Christopher Nolan’s version of The Odyssey, Homer’s great Greek epic. (Alongside Greece, Sicily, Morocco and Ireland.) Matt Damon is in the warrior title role, already visible in pre-publicity with his six-pack and red-bristled helmet. Movie buffs have been wondering what the all-conquering director of Oppenheimer would be given a blank ticket for, in his next project.

  • Pat Kane: Language really matters if we’re to save ourselves from AI overlords

    1 month ago | thenational.scot | Pat Kane

    I discovered this week (only a drone’s throw away) that the most powerful AI chip in the world had come to an Edinburgh University supercomputer ZEITGEIST is a word too overly beloved by columnists through the ages. Can there even be a particular and defined “spirit of the times” (its definition from the German)?

  • Celebrating 40 Years of .COM

    1 month ago | circleid.com | Pat Kane

    Last month marked 40 years since the registration of the world’s first ever .com domain name – symbolics.com – in March 1985. It’s a time to reflect both on the role .com has played in the evolution and growth of the internet over the past 40 years, and on the importance of ensuring that .com remains secure, stable, and resilient for the billions of people who rely on it every day.

I was asked to respond to the @scotnational’s brilliant torrent of articles on @realDonaldTrump and Scotland. One positive thing about pushing for Scots Indy is that it drives his maddening ubiquity out of your head… https://t.co/r0AnhBAqJb https://t.co/hYCaRziiG9

On Trump’s love of AI slop https://t.co/kRmXX11Fh2 I call it all the #caligularity. The bit to worry about is the Arendtian critique—where all these Trump-as-King/Pope/Gaza Riveria memes make our reality seem more malleable
