Here's the link to the list: bsky.app/profile/did:... I have no idea why it is so long. @cathoderayzone.bsky.social

Notes on using Philosophy Twitter. (1) You can pin the list to the top of your homepage for easy access. (2) The list will show all your posts by default, but I suggest we use #philtwit for posts directed specifically at list members. (3) Let's be friendly, even when we disagree!

I think I've caught up on additions to the Philosophy Twitter list. If I've missed anyone, please send me a reminder. Thank you for all your requests. It's been so nice to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Let's use this space to make the world a bit nicer, kinder, and wiser!

So, I get it, and all my medical exams had viva voce, so I know how it works, and I hate AI cheats. But it systematically disadvantages introverts and people with anxiety disorders.

I'm logging off for tonight now, but I will add more names tomorrow. If I've missed anyone, do remind me!

Do say if you'd like to be added. You don't need to be a professional philosopher or to have actually been part of the old Twitter philosophy community. You just need to share a love of friendly, supportive philosophical discussion, without ego or competitiveness!

Do people get notifications when I add them to a list?

I've given the list an avatar in memory of Gary Banham (@Kantian3), a special and much-missed member of philosophy Twitter.

I'd love to have a stopped clock that has a hidden timer and beeps when the motionless hands point to the right time

I don't know why we need fake barns and suchlike. A stopped clock consulted at the right moment is a much simpler case.

I've created a list for Bluesky users who were part of philosophy Twitter back in the day. Help me populate it! Also happy to add people who wish they had been part of the old community. I've added a few names already. (Ask if you'd like to be removed.) bsky.app/profile/did:...

Armageddon? Ah'magedden sick of it.

Listening to these thoughtful, professional people surveying the Moon from orbit is a reminder of what humans can achieve when they share a vision and have a collective determination to achieve it.

But why did the Apollo astronauts need non-stick frying pans?

Here's a sample of @mariakasmirli.com singing. I'm biased of course, but I think it's wonderful and I wish I could persuade her to sing more. soundcloud.com/user-8625195...

The name the Artemis II crew chose for their spacecraft was a velvet dagger: 'Integrity'.

It is fascinating to watch these four people in their tiny, tool-packed, human cave, halfway between Earth and Moon.

Thanks to Bluesky I've got friends all over the world... none in this country, but all over the world!

Does anyone happen to have a contact email for the poetry editor at the New Yorker? If so, would you dm me please?

I can relate to the odd life Walter Pitts lived en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_...

Show me the energy you bring to Bluesky

There's a thread on here in which people are drooling over a cartoon of Trump and pals being strung up like Mussolini. I understand and share the anger, but aren't we the good guys, who reject retributive punishment and don't believe in the death penalty?

Don't trust everything you read online. I definitely don't live and work in Turkey. And I'm not completely sure I'm alive.

Do the people who believe we didn't go to the Moon also believe that we aren't going now?

Would you like to hear from Doncaster-based philosopher Gary Shuttleworth (cousin of versatile singer-songwriter John Shuttleworth)?

Not sure whether to be flattered or offended that Grokipedia hasn't bothered to create an entry about me. It's produced a massive one for @philipgoff.bsky.social

If he doesn't hear the words 'Guidance is internal', this child of the Apollo age will be disappointed.

Sandful nightfall

America is the richest, most powerful, most technologically advanced country in the world. Yet many of its leaders believe that Iron Age Middle Eastern texts provide the ultimate truth about life, the universe, and everything.

Fun fact. Walter Pidgeon served in the Canadian military, and he was a lieutenant. So he was . . . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_...

The end of the world? (No filter, no April fool, it really is just like this.)

The Sahara has come to visit

There are people who believe that the creator of the universe took human form and instructed us how to live. They believe that the instructions they gave are faithfully recorded in a widely available book. And they ignore them completely.

This is a good one. www.popularmechanics.com/science/a708...

I'm the sort of person who'd get told there were no vacancies in the Hilbert Hotel.

As a species, we aren't gonna make it are we?

You should all be doing more of that thing. Or doing it differently. And if you're not doing it, you should have a hard think about why you're not doing it. Anyway, I've got the moral high ground, all right?

No, BBC News, I couldn't. Happy now? www.bbc.com/news/article...
