offsite link Why Do People Buy Organic Foods? Tue Jan 21, 2025 11:00 | Noah Carl
Are people who eat organic food really as virtuous as they think? A new academic paper has found that, in fact, they score higher on the 'dark triad' traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.

Have you heard of the "Habermas Machine"? It's a Google AI tool that reaches compromise between contending arguments. But what's the point if it doesn't actually make people agree, asks Prof James Alexander.

This Friday, Parliament will vote on a Bill that could lead to mass starvation, widespread fatalities and the almost certain collapse of society within a few years. There's a clear and present danger it could pass.

Belfast's May Day parade

A photographic journey

A large crowd turned out in Belfast city centre today for the May Day parade. I'm no good at calculating numbers so I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.

If anyone feels the need to use any of the photos from the parade, could you please credit me with taking them? Either that or you could give me a couple of quid; I don't mind either way.

The event kicked off from the Arts College where a number of trade union activists spoke on issues relevant to workers today. I missed the start but I heard Tayra McKee of the ATGWU speak about the importance of unionising migrant workers and the importance of solidarity between national and foreign national workers. Sam Nolan of DTUC spoke about capitalism and the class struggle, the occupation of Iraq and he quoted some Connolly (which we Belferstians love come May Day).
