for a technophobe like me, it's a major turn-off when I agree to review a paper and then have jump through multiple hoops to even see the paper (disable cookies, reset passwords, etc.). Seriously, I don't even know what cookies are, and I don't care to know

Iran: US adopts Israel’s Gaza/Beirut Obliteration Doctrine

I appreciate the diversity of the speakers of this interesting workshop. But wow... I remember a moment, about 15 years ago, when some of us thought that all-male lineups were permanently a thing of the past... philevents.org/event/show/1...

as a student in Frankfurt, I had the privilege of attending some classes taught by Habermas in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I would be lying if a claimed that I understood the content or significance of his theory, but to me he personifies the German post-war public intellectual. End of an era.

I hope they all end up being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court

If you want to do an MA in North American Studies, you should come to Hannover (see cool video below). And if you want to do an MA in Philosophy of Science, you should ALSO come to Hannover. We may not have a video (yet), but we are also smart, international, and fun :-)

"Feest demonstrates how there is no such thing as a theory-free exploration of psychological phenomena: exploration demands operationisation of some kind, which in turn reflects some kind of theoretical commitment about the object of research."

The brilliant Suilin Lavelle (Edinburgh) wrote a very kind and thorough review of my book (see below). #HPS #philsci #metascience #psychology #STS

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

25 January 1935 | Dutch Jewish boy, John Groenteman, was born in Amsterdam. He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in September 1942. He was murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection. --- Children at Auschwitz: 🎧 Podcast: https://youtu.be/aYKx_zpLSqA

are YOU a university professor, professor emeriti or associate professor of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion? Did you know you can nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize?

I do not think that they earnestly believe this video will convince anyone that the ICE agent was in danger and acted in self-defense. It's about stating that certain people - in this case, a queer woman activist - are undesirables who may be murdered by the state with impunity.

Pitch perfect

Here is my annual reminder to not say "come work with me" or "be my colleague" when sharing job ads fom your department. Being on the job market is incredibly hard. Candidates know that he actual chances of being your colleague are vanishingly small (sorry if this sounds harsh)
