Ontarians, my people, what the F is wrong with you?!?

Trump to allies: “Which of you fucking losers wants to secure the Strait of Hormuz?”

Another day on the set of Downfall 2

RIP Jürgen Habermas. One of the true giants of 20th (and 21st) C philosophy. My MPhil thesis partially engaged with Habermas's philosophy. I've never written on his work since, but it certainly helped to shape my intellectual development and overall philosophical outlook.

Some cold, harsh truth: “Jagmeet Singh … will almost certainly go down as the worst leader in the party’s history. Unfortunately for federal New Democrats, his competition there will probably come from … Avi Lewis, who seems determined to make the same mistakes.”

Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.

A grim but important read…

Another year, another Public Reason panel at MANCEPT. This year MANCEPT takes place *before* Labour Day! So hopefully more people from North America will be able to take part. Hope to see some of you in Manchester in six months! #philsky #philosophy #poltheory #polphil

As I get older, I just find reasons not to go in the first place...

New Canadian trade deal with India only allows for 1 assassination per year

Keep talking, Alberta secessionists/traitors -- it's working out great for you...

Kid 2: Why isn’t Dad upset? Kid 1: He’s a Leafs fan. He’s trained for this his whole life.

The Canada-US hockey rivalry is always intense. But given the grotesque bullying behaviour of the US towards Canada over the past year, the OT losses in both the Women’s and Men’s gold medal games feels especially bitter. *sigh*

John Rawls would have turned 105 today. Here he is at his best...

U.S. legal scholars baffled as Prince Andrew arrested for Epstein ties, Korean president sentenced for insurrection

Quelle surprise...

A week after my interview with Gina Schouten about her book _The Anatomy of Justice_ was posted at New Books in Philosophy, my article on that same book was posted at _Analysis_...

Yet another reason why I keep thinking about (gaming out) early retirement...

I'm now a co-host at "New Books in Philosophy" (part of the New Books Network). My first interview has been posted. It's with Gina Schouten (Harvard U) regarding her recent book, _The Anatomy of Justice_ (OUP, 2024). #philsky #philosophy #poltheory #polphil #moralphil @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social

Getting a little bit of snow here in Toronto today... ❄️

How can there be three more years of this insanity? Every day feels like a month...

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

The coming years are going to reveal a lot more waste on 'AI' like this by our governments, to the tune of 10s of billions squandered on appalling nonsense, all to make rich Tech Bros richer.

Local man would be angrier about Liberal’s undemocratic floor-crossing scheme if it wasn’t so funny to imagine Poilievre’s face

Poilievre asks BC Conservative leader for tips on just refusing to leave

"Trump is a pedophile" email raises questions about whether Trump is a pedophile

Poilievre prevents more MPs from leaving party by locking doors, swallowing key

New meme just dropped

Poilievre is poison. “Gerretsen said d'Entremont was leaving the Conservatives because the party has become more stridently right-wing under Poilievre.”

Tech CEOs suggest AI job losses could be offset by UBI which they will violently oppose

The mad self-destruction of the US by its gangster president is astonishing to witness.

Fortunately, the Leafs have spent decades preparing Toronto sports fans for crushing heartbreak

How incredibly disappointing. *sigh*

Please don't let this be another 18 inning game. Let's get a HR Vladdy!

YES! Jays up by 3! 🤘

Time to send the arrogant ignoramus home.

So many own goals. Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

Some positive news... "Wilders’ short-lived period in power after the PVV’s shock victory in 2023 seems over for now: all major mainstream parties have ruled out joining a coalition with the anti-immigration firebrand’s party."

That's it -- time for Canada to finally sever its ties to the monarchy.

Terrified Jays fan still trapped inside Game 3

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Blue Jays dedicate 11-4 blowout to Donald Trump 🇨🇦

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my local convenience store sells Irn Bru. How could there be adequate demand in mid-town (Davisville) Toronto? (Well, I'll do my part, going forward...)

Good, important read (hopefully not by ChatGPT). macleans.ca/education/ai...

1. If you are on the fence about pursuing a PhD, don’t. 2. If you are committed to pursuing a PhD, avoid the US. “[T]his is a terrible time to be contemplating doctoral education in the United States—especially if […] you are not an American citizen.”

I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking that it looks like he’s trying to complete the job that Bin Laden started.

Canada cool with one group of temporary foreign workers

The Blue Jays, eh! ⭐️ The American League 🏆 is back in 🇨🇦.
