Another special issue on representation in cognitive science has come out (this time in THEORIA): ojs.ehu.eus/index.php/TH...

Christ on an electric bike. Trump Administration to Pay $1 Billion to Energy Giant to Cancel Wind Farms www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/c...

11,000 children who don’t know if they’ll ever get to see their parents again. Who are forced to live with friends or even strangers. Whose lives will never be the same again. This is Trump’s legacy. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-family-deportations-ice-citizen-kids

A point of contrast.

Jürgen Habermas (1929–2026) 14 marca 2026 w wieku 96 lat zmarł Jürgen Habermas, wybitny niemiecki filozof i socjolog, przedstawiciel Szkoły Frankfurckiej. Już w 1983 roku ukazał się wybór pism „Teoria i praktyka” w przekładzie m.in. Małgorzaty Łukasiewicz i Zdzisława Krasnodębskiego. Wczesne lata…

A new Department of Cognitive Science is being created at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. Here is the call for a cluster hire (for around 10 faculty) in all areas of cognitive science, at both junior and senior levels: www.unibocconi.it/en/faculty-a... Deadline: May 4th, 2026

Three-year postdoc in our ANR- and DFG-funded project (with Kourken Michaelian) on the semantics of episodic representations: jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/3... Please share widely!

I've been holding onto my subscription to WaPo, mostly out of loyalty to #CarolynHax, but this is the last straw. Glyphosate does not need protection!!! The American people need protection from toxic chemicals & our regulatory system needs protection from corporate interference. wapo.st/4tUf8Bf

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Here's another @zotero plugin for you! Search & Replace in Library metadata. I always missed a convenient way to remove Worldcat URLs from printed books. Ugly and unnecessary. Now you can. It's a pre-release, so back up your library because it may wreak havoc. github.com/milekpl/zote...

@zotero.org Name Normalizer now supports normalizing Publishers, Locations, and Journals too! Get suggestions like "Springer" → "Springer" (standardized) or "Cambridge, MA" → "Cambridge, Massachusetts" Your metadata just got way more consistent. github.com/milekpl/zote... #Zotero

What is it like to be part of the Trump Regime? Hard to imagine. “How was your day dear?” “Oh pretty good. I shielded a few billionaire paedophiles from justice. How about you?” “Fairly quiet really. Just some voter suppression and racial profiling. Nice to get to own a few Libs in the process.”

FOR THE RECORD: one year on, I lay out clearly how Elon Musk FRS has breached the @royalsociety.org’s code of conduct, why the Society’s failure to defend its values has been so damaging, & what they need do to recover their standing in the scientific community. occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2026/...

Excited to share that EPSA 2029 will take place in Ljubljana! 🎉 Big congrats to the Warsaw team for hosting EPSA 2027 too! @epsaphilsci.bsky.social @mmilkowski.bsky.social @hgreif.bsky.social

There are 10 days left to submit a proposal for the 6th Biennial EENPS Conference (Bucharest, 18–19 September 2026). Submission deadline: 15 February! Talks and symposia across all areas of philosophy of science are welcome ☀️ eenps2026.sciencesconf.org #philsci

With @hgreif.bsky.social I will be co-chairing EPSA 27 in Warsaw. Stay tuned!

I built a Zotero plugin to fix inconsistent author names in your library. (J. Smith, John Smith, Smith John… we're all familiar.) Mendeley had this for years. @zotero.org didn't. 500+ cases in my library alone. Now you can batch-review and normalize all at once: github.com/milekpl/zote.... Free.

As 2025 winds down, I've been recollecting ESPP 2025 we organized in Warsaw. All the keynotes and symposia are now up on YouTube for your procrastination pleasure. Plus full symposium sessions and Q&As. Perfect background listening for grading marathons or post-holiday-dinner recovery. 1/2

Dismantling NCAR. Denying the science is not enough - they will destroy it. The Trump administration has gone full Lysenko. If the US is ever won back, this will be spoken of in the same way in the history books.

2nd CFA for the 8th Scientific Understanding and Representation (SURe) annual workshop, which will take place May 27-29, 2026, at the IFIS PAN in Warsaw. Submission deadline: 20 January 2026. More info: shorturl.at/AUoye @philsci.bsky.social @eenphilsci.bsky.social @epsaphilsci.bsky.social

@erc.europa.eu has decided to fund my research on how AI is transforming scientific problem-solving! #erc www.helsinki.fi/en/news/life...

My friend and mentor, the wonderful philosopher Jim Bogen, has died. #HPS #Philsci dailynous.com/2025/12/04/j...

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

My project Theorizing the Mind has been funded by the National Science Center.

📣 Save the date for the 13th PCI webinar on December 1st, 2025, at 4 PM CET!! Simine Vazire (University of Melbourne, Australia) will present "Recognizing and responding to a replication crisis: Lessons from Psychology". For more details and registration, visit: buff.ly/wZNoD2v

Engagement KPIs have been responsible for infinite scroll UI traps, RecSys radicalization spirals, public shame brigades, and basically every modern ailment novel to the past decade. At some point, you have to recognize that the problem isn't any one technology, it's the metric.

A teddy bear equipped with AI was meant to be a child’s chat companion, but it eagerly jumped into topics like BDSM and “where to find knives.” The manufacturer stopped sales and cut off access. AI toys need strict filters, testing, and oversight or ot ends in a plush sewer. #AIact #GDPR

This is Grok claiming that the gas chambers at Auschwitz were not used for extermination. We only think that, says Grok, because independent examination has been suppressed. They made Grok deny the Holocaust. Poor Grok! Poor us!

Tomorrow we have a workshop. Join us if you're around in Warsaw.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Shameful. You can’t appease fascists - they’re never actually appeased… only emboldened.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

These deaths could are avoidable. Switching to renewables would save these lives. We are faced with a choice, save lives or kill people. As a society we need to actively choose to do the right thing.

This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM5T3CxW/

This is the book, due out in a month: Jak ekonomia może ocalić świat! kulturaliberalna.pl/wydawnictwo/...

Dzisiaj filozofia.pl zaczyna być obecna na BlueSky! Będziemy, jak zawsze, informować, jakie książki się ukazują, kiedy i gdzie będą ciekawe konferencje i warsztaty filozoficzne!

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline

Check out the schedule of the online conference PSA Around the World Eastern Europe (pm of Nov 6,14,22). A collaboration between @philsci.bsky.social and @eenphilsci.bsky.social it showcases #philsci from, about, and otherwise connected to the region. Wonderful names and titles, looking forward!

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education. We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.
