I'll be honest, I don't know what the pin means. Is it a good pin?

Waves at everything indeed

Dr J Warr @warrcrim.bsky.social · Apr 4

There is still time to submit an abstract to this one day symposium on "Politics, Harm, and Justice" to be held at University of Nottingham.

This will be of interest to those in #Criminology, #Law, and #Politics.

Given (waves at everything) such conversations are of increasing import.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

'very impressive and very funny'. Gosh you are making me blush Oscar 😂. I don't think about this specific scenario so much these days, but I definitely think about toilet roll more than the average person now I'd imagine. Get in touch if you want to write something on toilet roll together 👍🚽

I don't write much about boxing these days, but I do a little, so watch this space (maybe?)

Beyond this, though, the article promotes a conceptual split in the sociology of time between acceleration and condensation. Short-termism results in qualitatively different experiences on a bodily level.

In a bid to be more active on here than I was on twitter, here's an article I wrote some time ago now. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/.... At a basic level it's about white-collar boxing, and begins to clear up that this form of boxing has a misleading name.
