if it is a non-woody plant, you are supposed to take the whole thing, roots and all, and I hate this

unless you live somewhere extremely well-documented, you will have a major scientific revelation about a place you spend a lot of time in every few months.

A student reports that they "LOVED" the Parfit reading on personal identity, but that reading it "made it hard to not procrastinate my project," because it led them to conceptualize their future self as a different person, a person who didn't care very much about their present self.

do not. address it

I think philosophy of science should go to jail for calling literally everything except fundamental physics “special sciences.”

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Who knew that Archimedes wrote book reviews? Sinister Ray by Lester Dent. 1987, cover art by Ronald Wilber. #booksky

suppose there’s a world that obeys Newton’s Laws and consists entirely of the Norton’s Dome setup. what should be your credence that over some time period the ball will start rolling? what about your credence that the ball will start rolling eventually?

Lol if u went to Occidental College. "Ah wuz troying to go somewhere else but I Occidentally went to College" ass. Obama went there first but then he went to Columbia because it was on Occident ass.

Goblin sharks are so beautiful. I’m so glad we can now see video and images of them in their home waters and not just specimens on a dock played for horror.

here's recent preprint i saw where they try to automate picbreeder with Gemini 2.5 pro, but they end up concluding the results are not as open-ended as the human-powered version: arxiv.org/abs/2605.23908 . video complicates this too, but maybe you could approximate with multiple screenshots

La turista, alojada en un hotel de cinco estrellas en los Alpes Dolomitas, fue obligada cada día a consumir botellas de agua mineral a siete euros cada una. Pese a solicitar en repetidas ocasiones que se le sirviera agua de grifo, el hotel se negó

In case you were worried nobody would be held accountable for the IDF sexually assaulting Palestinian detainees, it looks like that isn’t true. The woman who blew the whistle on the abuse is definitely getting punished.

FILM TRIVIA: Alec Baldwin's famous "Always Be Closing" speech from Glengarry Glen Ross was not in the original play by David Mamet. The performance was captured when cameras were accidentally left rolling during a break while Baldwin was talking to his costars.

(I'm crying at the bar and a beautiful stranger approaches me) "What's wrong?" "Since I saw you i can never say 'pobody's nerfect' again!"

'For the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.'

sometimes headlines can give the wrong impression but this is exactly what it says on the tin. this is despicable. it took a phenomenal, expensive, coordinated effort to get from north carolina losing 400 million dollars & a gubernatorial race over a bathroom ban to this in 10 years.

I think voters (retired) can agree there's a simpler solution to school traffic: close the schools As Milton Friedman once explained to a kid who was concerned that Prop 13 would wreck schools: "Are you entitled to make the taxpayers your slaves?"

This is such an odd framing. For example, 70 years ago, one of the biggest waves of US minority rights activism was about to crest. But the piece describes "minority rights" as a "post-material" concern, to be contrasted with the material concerns of politics 70 years ago. I hate post-materialism!

Run! Uni is here!

@epopppp.bsky.social is good on this in her book Thinking Like an Economist. The shift to environmental rules that encourage tradeoffs at market prices are much harder to enforce than rules that limit particular processes, precisely because there's no local way to tell if they are being followed.

It's a feature of many market solutions to social problems that they look much more attractive if you ignore the implementation details. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

In my experience it’s very common in the UK but has taken an air of faux sophistication so many people don’t like it. Anyway here’s some people grappling with their own usage

Reminds me also of this

What the fuck does "whilst" mean?

no the pyramidal depiction of maslow’s hierarchy of needs traces back to 1960 but doesn’t become widespread until much later probably the late 70s or even 80s and the food pyramid is developed in sweden in the early 70s so there’s little chance there‘s a relationship between them
