BREAKING: workers are unlikely to make donations to the political party with the ‘completely ruin your workplace’ platform

interesting, but i have to say, i had a somewhat odd reaction to it. my own experience has been that philosophers are *much more* likely to reach for the 'majoring in philosophy cultivates skills that will serve you well whatever you do' argument than the 'intrinsic value' argument...

i guess it's obvious, but sorta funny there's so much energy expended on how the economy today compares to the economy ten years ago or whatever, when the more salient question is how it compares to a normative ideal

sad to see jill biden be ableist like this

i guess it's just a computer glitch or something, but very odd to get an email congratulating me on my publication and encouraging me to spread the word for a paper that was published online in 2022 and in an issue in 2024. bit late to Keep the momentum going, i'd think

Thrilled to say I just found a way to include a screenshot of this in a conference talk

all i'm saying is there's a reason it's not bouncy citizens' assemblies

Hasn’t worked out so far, but like how aggressive wemby came out this half

He’s the one Actually Bad player in the whole series

If Adam silver had the courage to do what was right, he would levy million dollar fines per flop. This series is too good to be profaned like that (looking most recently at you, Jaylin Williams)

Nah dude we’re Jewish. We’re just Like That

It’s weird that they’re like that and then they go to the bench and kornet looks like hartenstein‘s unathletic cousin

[whispers] champagnie game

Sure, let’s do the political semiotics of bouncy castles. Why not

Think I’ve tweeted about this before, so forgive me, but one of my favorite podcast moments is David Albert kinda sorta telling his junior colleague Justin Clarke-doane to go fuck himself

super interesting work

you ever think about how obama picked biden as his VP to show old white people he was laid back about being kinda... 'retrograde' about race, and then biden picked harris as his VP to show young/non-white people that he wasn't that retrograde about race after all?

the knicks are a very cool team that's playing great, but can you imagine immediately going from being defended by james harden and donovan mitchell to whichever set of defensive contract killers comes out of the west?

My life coach yelling from the sideline for me to "just run out the clock"

no [me leaping off the top rope, double front flip frogsplash for the match] FOLLOWS FROM A MORE GENERAL PRINCIPLE [crowd goes wild]

the rare 'mean both ways' comparison

123 cancun

I feel like me and Gail Simmons would have chemistry

That’s right

the one way for the state government to out perform private enterprises is to do something private enterprises can also do. business mindset

(a new object is placed in my enclosure) damn new object just dropped (I glance disparagingly over at yesterday's object) lol y'all still thinking about this huh

'it's like, no we're not' goes pretty hard if i'm honest

[guy loading boxes on a truck] yeah, sure, i seen her. talking about how there's only one thing occupying a particular spatial region. then she's going on about how she bought a lump of clay on monday and made a statue on tuesday. hey look, i gotta get back to work

i can talk directly about his death—even the quite bad stuff—without it being particularly emotional, and then seemingly arbitary small things—the way steph castle plays defense, hearing young mc's 'bust a move' randomly, the way i put a towel on my shoulder when i'm cooking—lay me out

if i'm in such a bubble, then how come everyone evidently cares about the mandalorian and grogu?

Chet getting roofed by Luke kornet

Hearing that wemby has built a Saw trap and plans to lure Chet into it after the game

Steph castle is unreal. What a stud

The way Stephon castle jumped into wemby’s arms was frankly adorable

LOL WEMBY WTF

SGA got so excited about foul baiting he forgot to continue dribbling the basketball

Whispering ‘Thats Kelly olynick and one of the plumlees I forget which one’ to the guy next to me every time they show the spurs bench

Bringing this one over

Only hartenstein has scored for the thunder in the first 8 minutes lol

Think this series might literally be the best basketball has ever been played

Hartenstein weird push shot unstoppable

Based on how theatrically he made that first call, Scott foster is feeling himself tonight folks

I do find it funny when people describe this platform as a ‘bubble’ because—honestly—I hate most of the stuff people post on here. It sucks and is annoying. But there are exceptions!

One problem with this place is how angry everyone gets whenever someone GENTLY suggests that you’re all a bunch of morons who need me to talk down to them

i think more often than not, conversations turn out unproductive because of too little agreement among the interlocutors, rather than too much

i do find 'there's a palpable desire to be ensconced' funny

that's the thing i remember about politics in 2003, both generally and specifically with respect to 'terrorism'—real 'unity and harmony' vibes

i was wondering if we could maybe argue about being on twitter vs being on bluesky? really interesting and underdiscussed topic...

imagining being at a party i'm not particularly enjoying and declaring 'the problem with this party is everyone except for me is a coward'
