For Halloween I have become my worst fear (an expected epistemic utility theory apologist)

There are no words for Sudan-- the "blood bath" conclusion marks the complete failure of the international community. This is a horrific situation & like so many other wars, I doubt there will be justice for these survivors & their families.

Flirting with using Good's Theorem to explain why learning can be hurty. Using Good's Theorem as a theory of bad, if you may

What people imagine philosophy twitter was like: "I hate everyone who is not my particular brand of leftist" "I do too, and I will nuke everyone who is different" What it was actually like: "I am depressed" "So am I" "Thick concepts? No: T H I C C concepts" "Good morning I am sad"

I love struggling-to-construct-satisfying-models-and-then-having-economists-pull-me-sopping-wet-from-my-puddle-of-despair-with-a-model-constructed-in-the-70s, or as people in philosophy call it, formal epistemology

Spent the weekend opening my door* so my neighbours could move their sofa into their apartment *and providing them tools so they could knock down their door because the sofa still refused to enter even after knocking bits of their doorframe off

crashing out (mr worldwide edition)

saying aoc should eat hakeem jeffries is the one sentence you cannot post on bsky. its okay for me to say because im letting you know you can't post it

The H1-B deadline is not enough time to reliably book a flight and travel across the world if you happen to be home with family. The only flight to the US from Singapore that would get there in time was sold out within hours of the announcement, and priced out for many.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Have I been working on my projects which all have deadlines? No. But have I been fully present with my family and getting good rest? Also no. But have I been fixing my computer instead of endlessly distrohopping? Yeah also no

Umm the good kind of nimbyism???

I am rising from my sickbed to parade this!! I'm a big fucking hater and I think this paper is such a beautiful show of honesty and care and I've seen the process. But u don't have to trust my word, u can read it urself ❤️

Happy to announce that my paper "How Language-Like is the Language of Thought?" is forthcoming at Ergo! Thread with a TL;DR below! philpapers.org/rec/MURHLI-3

We don't have to speculate about what more housing means: it means that more people can live somewhere. We don't have to speculate about what more and better transit means: it means affordably and reliably being able to commute/get where you're going.

A new article on Alex Byrne and the HHS report, for which I provided a few quotes:

Here's a beautifully written piece on the saga: www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/a-philosop...

Good news: Most of the students I teach really commit to their projects and get really excited about them!!!! and they wanna work on them all the time!! Bad news: I, too, suffer from the same excited puppy predilections, and I do not know how to teach them how to set their boundaries

did you hear that you could read and print Being Trans in Philosophy today?! seriously, like woahhh!! being.transinphilosophy.org the zine @diversityread.bsky.social 10th anniversary conference (happy bday!!) by @nonamename.bsky.social, SF pride @not.dingherself.com, & SPP @willow-starr.bsky.social

I'm not gonna lie I first read it as an advisory against the store and I was like 'what did the mall goths do today'

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” Baldwin said it best.

Astonishing story. Huge questions over the company culture that allowed this. www.ft.com/content/c0e6...

Hello yes, I am a philosopher, a member of a discipline literally built on the idea that basically any idea is debatable/questionable. I also think people making fun of my bigoted theses about trans people is basically them murdering me and they should go to jail. I am very smart

the president just opened a concentration camp

A message from the striking municipal workers of Philadelphia:

me, the girls, and our one cis friend at pride

in the spirit of self-crit: in past years I have certainly been among those who have been vocally skeptical of the role of law and lawyers in meaningfully constraining armed agents of the state. but I do think we have to hand it to lawyers at this time

Typical middle school bully: um, ever heard of a JOKE? Typical new bluesky user: joke, what the fuck is that, are you attacking me, do you realize the country is under threat

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

Which is what identity politics as coined by the Combahee River Collective, was intended to do. Be the center of a critical politic that builds solidarity within and across identities that share that questioning of power, not a replacement for that critical politic.

🥳🥳 New paper in @nathumbehav.nature.com: “When development constricts our moral circle." Contrary to popular belief, younger kids may start out with broader moral circles than older ones. Check it out here 👉 rdcu.be/eoaSe w/ @mattiwilks.bsky.social @karrineldner.bsky.social & Lucius Caviola

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

Now that the funds have cleared, @chelseaharamia.bsky.social and I are pleased to announce that the American Philosophical Association has awarded @storyphi.bsky.social a grant from the Berry Fund for Public Philosophy. 🎉🎉🎉

hi everybody! if you're an academic philosopher and would prefer your colleagues didn't produce propaganda which furthers the trump administration's attempt to eradicate transgender people from public life, consider reading/signing this open letter about it! dearprofessorbyrne.wordpress.com

Can't get enough of these videos of Peter Thiel being asked by a friendly interviewer to "just say you're not the antichrist, out loud" followed by Thiel making various deep sea creature noises for 30 seconds before going "it's uh it's uh it's uh there are a lot of declensions here, interestingly,"

but what do you really think brad lander hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

People (NOT @jackjenkins.me) have been sleeping on the religious left in the US

I'm very honoured with the awarding of the 2025 Stevin prize for my research. And I'm particularly pleased that this prize goes to a philosopher, as it recognizes that we not only do blue sky research, but also analyses that can make a difference to the world. www.nwo.nl/en/prof-dr-i...

My brave coworkers at MIT put together a statement re: Alex Byrne's confirmation that he co-authored the HHS report recommending against gender-affirming care for trans youth (www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...) Please read the letter and sign at: dearprofessorbyrne.wordpress.com

“If trans exclusion is lavender scare pivoted and trans inclusion queer assimilation gentrified, could you imagine if going on the offensive and turning cis people into a philosophical puzzle might just be what the gender metaphysician ordered?” So grateful for this chance to be playful yet serious:

Friendship with Helen De Cruz (1978-2025). I wrote a little about Helen here. An attempt to remember them.
