Gotta be W's Philosophical Investigations. I don't do much formally with Wittgenstein, mostly b/c I'm not really qualified, but no question it changed the foundation of how I think about thinking at all.

This is sooooo cool. And I love that the pieces were performed by Ton Koopman, who is one of my most beloved Bach interpreters (his work as conductor for the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra is unparalleled in leading Bach chamber music IMO). www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/a...

real good thread. colin is right. i am writing a newsletter about this very thing as we speak :) stay tuned

give me the quadrivalent mRNA flu vaccine right now. put it in me

There's a lot here, and it's fascinating and important. (I do some injury epi and injury prevention work, as well as learn from the emerging subfield of #InjuryStudies so this is especially interesting to me) cc @slobogin.bsky.social @safetyworkhstm.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/w...

YES!!! Technology has a place, but the social has to lead.

A wonderful thread of some of Alice Wong's writing.

This ⤵️

Health is a social problem, not a technical one. It will be solved socially and politically, or not at all.

Kid, who doesn’t love Tarantino films, finally watched Inglorious Basterds with me and zhe loved it. (I am here for all Jewish counterhistory revenge stories) My work here is done! ✅ ✅

I’m heartsick to hear that the incomparable Alice Wong has passed. Her loss will be felt keenly, by many, and for a long time. She is a force, a generous leader and storyteller, and an oracle for disabled futures. Much love to Alice and to all our crip kin and comrades. ❤️‍🩹

It's always eugenics....

"Die My Love" is apparently incredible. It's also what I say to each Totino's Pizza Roll I consume.

25 Movies, Many Stars, 0 Hits: Hollywood Falls to New Lows “Theaters are at fault for raising prices and bombarding audiences with ads and trailers before films start.” This is the biggest part for me. I HATE ads. I just won’t go. The end. (I also am underwhelmed by the offerings in general)

I was able to publish numerous pieces in the AMA Journal of Ethics during my time in the Ethics Group at AMA. They've always had a dedicated team of editors interested in advancing important discussions in medical ethics and public health ethics. What an unfortunate, wrong-headed decision.

It’s a loss for our field. #Bioethics

One of those parties where half the people really aren't having a good time and one is just relentlessly getting drunk. We've all been there and so has Jacob Ochtervelt, whose day was today.

If you're 60, live in Crested Butte, CO, and earn $63k, you can get a Bronze plan in the Colorado Marketplace for as little as $36/month this year. Next year, if Congress doesn't extend the subsidy enhancements, the lowest-cost plan will be $1,282/month www.healthinsurance.org/aca-marketpl...

This panel makes me think we need a book like, "Eugenics: Why We Can't Quit You," that is less about eugenics (and other racial sciences like, ugh, phrenology) than why they have such a lasting hold on our society. Why can't we kill these zombie sciences? Why do we keep reinventing them? #HSS2025

One hates to say this, but go to Amsterdam once and then leave. Leiden, Delft, Rotterdam, Edam, Haarlem, The Hague, Gouda Utrecht (!), and then to Nijmegen and way down to Masstricht. I could go on. The Netherlands is a banquet. Don't get stuck just enjoying the first course.

Wintertime in 1615: skating near the castle, with a few of those embarrassing tumbles that were so hilarious in the little ice age. By Adriaen van de Venne, whose day is today.

I'm here to stan Elle who is an amazing health law scholar. And she's an extremely talented performer/ opera singer. 🎤🎶

George Washington’s surgeon general Dr. John Morgan wrote in his 1776 “Recommendation of Inoculation” that denying inoculation was a “violation of the natural rights of mankind” and every government has a duty to “provide for the safety of its members by rendering [it] as universal as possible.”

I had the chance to hear Professor Rothermich present some of her work at the WEIRDOS Workshop @ ASLME Health Law Professors Conference and I learned much. She is terrific!

Leiden is absolutely spectacular. It's 100% my favorite city to visit in the Netherlands, and one of my favorite cities on the planet. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/t...

What is the greatest vampire story ever told and why is it “The Historian?”

the best excuse ive heard: "sorry but since my review the author has joined my dept and i should recuse"

I also think instructions to the new reviewer are very important. Is it "please review this manuscript," or is it "please review this manuscript and specifically and only address whether you believe they have adequately addressed the comments of previous reviewer(s)?" The latter may be acceptable.

I'm both an author & an associate editor & in both roles a hill on which I will die is that attaching a new reviewer at R&R is bad practice at best & often unfair. That said, given how often original reviewers refuse to review a R&R (no shade), editors are often stuck with how to evaluate a R&R.

“The consequences extend beyond lost money. Hazardous gambling is correlated with increased rates of anxiety and depression, and young men who engage in it are more likely to slide into a full-blown gambling addiction. Boys who frequently gamble miss more classes, perform worse in school”

My Heat aren't going to do much this year but as usual they are vastly outplaying their talent, going 7-4 so far w/o Tyler Herro and winning several tough games also w/o Bam Adebayo. This buzzer beating oop from Andrew Wiggins to defeat the Cavs is so sweet. #NBA #Basketball youtu.be/HwXS2hCvKqg

Had an absolutely searing nightmare last night that my Ph.D advisor absolutely trashed an argument I made right to my face in a cruel and mocking way and I had to reject zher outright and insist on my independent thinking. In my dream I even said, 'This is not imitatio dei' I graduated in 2009.

let me know if you find one. I turn off the DuckDuckGo AI regularly (i.e. every time I open the browser), but it gets annoying.

DuckDuckGo has gotten increasingly pushy with AI and it’s irritating me so am looking for a new privacy browser. I hate Brave cause they are scamming with cr*pto but all other recommendations are welcome!
