it rocks that my profession is so dedicated to lying about Kirk that his gutter bigot friends like Jack Posobiec get uncritical CNN spots, while Attiah gets fired for accurately quoting Kirk

What the UK government should do: -> disable X in the UK -> sue Musk -> make his companies' life in UK a living hell -> crack down on Robinson and his thugs What the UK government will do: -> "yes, we are aware of the valid citizen concerns" -> more xenophobic crap -> stay on X and do nothing

Conjecture: Labour, as the soulless, vapid, empty shell of a party it has become, depends on an army of consultants to do their comms. However these consultancy agencies are ran by bunch of fascists. These people found a surefire way to destroy the party by feeding them extreme right talking points.

After a few not-so-successful rounds with reviewers who don’t really buy into the idea of a normative digital philosophy of science, we (with @mmilkowski.bsky.social) decided to write something to fill that gap – and to show that digital research also has normative potential.

I added the online programme for our ESPP 2025 website. You can customize your agenda and print it with your chosen talks :) espp2025.ifispan.edu.pl/programme

She was a legend. I compulsively, compulsorily, and committedly cite her.

Thrilled to share my new commentary 'The Interface Mind' in Philosophical Psychology—symposium on Nick Shea's *Concepts at the Interface*! Concepts as interfaces bridging general reasoning & specialized sims solve integration puzzles (e.g., Nanay's imagery). Advances computational mind theories! 1/2

Thrilled to see @cdutilhnovaes.bsky.social running for EPSA president! I was truly humbled and surprised when the nomination committee approached me to run as well; it's such an unexpected honor to be considered alongside such excellent colleagues. philsci.eu/Elections2025 @epsaphilsci.bsky.social

Donald Trump is ripping away America’s role as a world leader in science and innovation. Cuts to health care breakthroughs. Cuts to tech development. Cuts to energy research. How is this America first?

I try to think as little as possible about X. But man, I gotta say, it is rather disappointing that corporations and universities continue to use a platform that is being explicitly engineered to spread racist propaganda. Like, why did your ancestors bother evolving a backbone if you won't use it?

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

Now we will surely compile a new peer review corpus at some point :)

1/4: NEW PAPER ALERT! I bridge Mark Bickhard’s interactivism with truth debates. Key insight: Truth ≠ evolutionary byproduct. It’s the outcome of problem-solving under biological constraints. A tribute to Bickhard’s overlooked work. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Philosophy #CognitiveScience

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

We are happy to announce that we were able to make the ESPP conference fee a little more affordable (EUR 150). However, the membership fee was raised to EUR 60. The registration form will be open in the second half of June. espp2025.ifispan.edu.pl/registration

Setting aside the fact that the government is acting in bad faith, there are two things metascientists should be doing now: 1. Reflection on what they could have done to prevent this misappropriation instead of shrugging it off with a "they'd do it anyway" 2. Finding a firm stance on what to do next

Many Swedes, curiously, appear more scandalized by Trump's antics than their own PM's, even when those antics are qualitatively the same.
