Really enjoyed the opportunity to speak on this panel about AI & suicide prevention w/ some impressive co-panelists. We had a wide-ranging conversation, ranging from theoretical and clinical approaches to practical solutions. If you're interested, have a look! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnEU...

The REAL trolley problem: deciding which flavor to get!!! haha I’m just kidding around, folks

First time throwing a double-walled/bubble mug form. Went pretty well I’d say! what they insist on the difference is it? Is it faster?

Academia dot edu licensing agreement says it can use your likeness and voice and publications in any manner they want, world wide.

what does it say about me that I *loved* these conversations as an undergrad (and still do)?

The President of Barnard College calls for more controversial speakers like the late Kirk (without citing any of his controversial views), a position at odds with what Barnard colleagues describe as a track record of censoring events and speakers on Palestine. (1/4) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/o...

Todd Wolfson, AAUP President, echoing the position of his organization, said guns should not be permitted on college campuses. It impedes efforts to have productive discussions on important & controversial issues when “somebody’s got a weapon on their hip,” he said.

lots of things can be said right now, but from my spot in the ivory tower, I'll emphasize that college campuses should be sacred spaces in deliberative democracies where students & the public are free & safe to engage in open, productive, &, yes, even extreme discussion, without fear of violence

I agree with Gabrielle Giffords. Violence like this is never appropriate.

More reasons to be anti-AI

When people say “I don’t own a TV” but they watch movies on their laptop, it’s not a flex!

From *Cow Country* by Adrian Jones Pearson (it’s satire of academia, in case that’s not obvious)

UGA's fight song is "Glory, Glory", but without lyrics it's indistinguishable from "Solidarity Forever" by Pete Seeger, which is especially funny since Georgia is a right-to-work state

JD Vance is a coward, a loser, a sycophant, and a deeply pathetic human being.

lots of people have really cool answers to the "what song best describes you?" icebreaker, but mine is Dr. Worm by They Might Be Giants

I mean at this point if Carly Rae Jorden doesn’t do an Emotion ten-year anniversary tour, she’s crazy right?

thankfully, it seems it was a hoax

This is super scary. Really hoping that everyone is safe. The Main Library is literally right next to the philosophy building.

just learned that the lo-fi jazz playlist I frequently listen to while writing about the evils of AI consists entirely of songs written by AI

the economic downturn has spared no one

I feel a noticeable drop off in the number of calls I have been getting recently about my car’s extended warranty, anyone else notice this too??

just watched as this guy at the coffeeshop shazam'd Soldier Boy by Johnny Cash and then proclaimed to his partner "Ahhh it's Johnny Cash!" (like, look, you don't know the song--ok. But how could you not know that's Johnny Cash's voice??)

amazing work here (I know I'm biased but still)

I'm on teaching leave in the fall, and I'd love to travel & meet new philosophy folks! If any of y'all want to host a visiting speaker many have described as "longwinded, but interesting" and "engaging, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing", hit me up! (I have some of my own funding as well.)
