It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Can lab experiments help settle real-world death cases? In our new paper, we look at experimental asphyxiation studies at the center of debates on deaths in custody.👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philsky #HPS

New paper, the first of 2026, and it's a big one! 📗Evidence-based medicine and the promises and limits of digital health and wearable technology, out in Studies in History and Philosophy of Science www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #philsky #philsci #histsci

🚨 New paper out today 🚨 The message is simple: As we replace some animal experiments with alternatives, new animal experiments are also being innovated. If our policy goal is inflicting less harm on animals in science, replacement won’t be enough. We also need a shift in model innovation. 🐭📉

🔥 "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave."

The story is not that there are two conflicting versions of what happened. The story is that the federal government is lying about what happened. There is plenty of evidence. Your job, our job, is to sift that evidence and describe what actually happened ffs.

Jens Spahn äußert also Verständnis für die Grönlandpolitik von Trump. Mmh. Vielleicht, weil der CDUler enge Verbindungen zum MAGA-Lager und zu Milliardären pflegt, die mit Trump absurde Pläne schmieden. Unsere Recherche mit @gabrielakeller.bsky.social ⬇️ correctiv.org/aktuelles/ge...

President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...
