Why Jasmin Paris should be #SPOTY24 She completed Barkley Marathons with 99 seconds to spare - 33 Parkruns distance - in a forest - mostly off trail - partially in dark - no GPS watch - ascended 2x height of Everest - only 19 male runners have completed it in 29 years - Jasmin was the 1st woman
Big shout out to all the posties in the UK who are still wearing shorts. It was -5.5 this morning when I got into the car. Respect.
If I had a pound for every time I confused the Clock app with the Calculator app, I'd have 12:25pm
It would be far better if they moved out of that absurd, archaic building which is costing upward of a billion to make even vaguely suitable for a parliament, let it become a wonderful museum and built a new parliament, perhaps in the Midlands

Teaching vicarious liability this week. I can be critical of Scottish courts, but VL is one area where they have been exemplary. As @campbellmat1.bsky.social & BWML said in their recent article 'Few are the Scottish applications of the close connection test which surprise.' Which is a good thing.
Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.
Institutional incoherence reaches pardoy levels today.
It exists—well, in typescript. My book, On the Law of Speaking Freely, is written. All being well Hart will publish it in the spring.

@lanarkboy.bsky.social still no posts from lanark boy! How are you?
It literally takes months, and many people, to get something simple updated on an internal school webpage, but seconds for me to post on here! Is it just me?
Defamation klaxon! New article just published. It's Open Access. Written by Dr Lindsay and me. We read tons of cases. It was glorious. So much fun to work on. The subject matter of the cases was neither fun or glorious. washttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17577632.2024.2421061?src=exp-la

I just made my first below-the-line comment on an FT article, wish me luck, I’ll need it!
Today I'm attending a seminar to honour the contribution to scholarship of Professor Kenneth McK. Norrie at the University of Strathclyde, entitled "The Person in Scotland and the World: 40 Years of Private Law Reform", supported by the Clark Foundation. Well done to colleagues for organising this.
Although Greggs the baker is not on this platform, I want to publicly congratulate them on a fine new shop in Glasgow Queen St Station. It’s a triumph of pastries!
@gavward.bsky.social there he is! Howdy! Nice to see you!
There’s just one thing left to do - crack open the Pinot Noir!
Lots of hottakes on this case, of course! Here's mine: when the court says 'duty of care' it is being impressitionistic. It does not equate to the same legal concept we use in common law jurisdictions. (I've already noticed several law firm updates neglect to clarify this point, which is vital).

As a UG student, Michael Menlowe and Neil MacCormick were my first exposure to legal reasoning. Only years later did I really get the idea (after years of reading appellant case law). Today, I still cannot find a better explanation of what we do as lawyers in precedent based systems. I feel old.

Love when Marxists say “this is a science!” and if you ask “ah so we’re going to make casual models generating precise predictions we can test and iteratively improve?” it’s clarified: no not a *bourgeois* science, the other, better, kind, where you mainly just reinterpret Hegel.
