The first photo here is fake. A still from the same moment shows that Trump's head wasn't drooping like that. Also, he'd just adjusted his tie, which is why the guy two to the left of RFK is looking at him. Actual still at right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ctx...

Eye opening and informative on the costs of the French system of agrégation

Well, they've finally struck home. #ICE has detained my former #umich student, Yousif Azizi, a PhD student in public policy at Virginia Tech w/a valid visa. He was arrested while taking his children to school in Maryland. After multiple transfers, he is in a detention center in Arizona.

anyway if you ever wonder why sportsbooks push parlays so hard, well

My book on relevant logics is available for preorder www.amazon.com/Relevant-Log...

Congrats to many excellent philosophers here.

See also journal submissions. At Imprint we're only seeing a handful of obviously 100% AI submissions. But we are seeing many more em-dashes, "It's not X; it's Y" constructions, etc, in the middle of what *look like* largely human written papers.

The philosophy department at @univie.ac.at is advertising a permanent senior lectureship position in Ethics/Applied Ethics! Here's the ad: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Senior-L...

I’ve updated this draft survey chapter on accuracy-first epistemology to include a technical appendix that tries to provide a way into some of the maths used in this area. philpapers.org/archive/PETT...

New issue out now! We’ve got theoretical relicts and biological mistakes, pragmatic Humeanism and Bayesian conditionalization, Reichenbach’s vindication and Lewis games, and much, much more! Read it here: www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/bjps/cur... #philsci #philsky

Part of the right's war on education, especially the part that appeals to voters and not Douthatian perverts, is pretty explicitly about limiting kids' horizons and trapping them where they are.

There were reports that the Palestine Football Association Canadian visas were denied ahead of FIFA Congress on April 30 in Vancouver, BC. It's more complicated than that. No question on the importance of them being there. Looked into it with Aloysius Wong for CBC News. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Disgraceful.

Good thought experiment for any philosophers of literature to weigh in on.

It is wild to be doing philosophy of maths at a time where strange and new things are happening! This week "GPT-5.4 Pro (prompted by Price)" solved Erdős problem 1196, a conjecture of Erdős, Sárközy, and Szemerédi. www.erdosproblems.com/forum/thread...

Interesting workingpaper on effect of motivational emails on on job search effort. The Nudge hype is as dead as a dodo. rfberlin.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Yesterday’s fun activity was writing a package to make cartograms like this. I am also open to lavish VC funding to develop an excessively complex German-style board game based on this layout, modeled on e.g. “Escape from New York”, “Warriors”, or perhaps “My Dinner with Andre”.

“Even mild inflation is unacceptable” doesn’t follow from this data. Will is assuming that people are reacting to current inflation levels. More likely, they think that prices are too high relative to what they remember. They may well complain about inflation at 0% because they want it negative.

I’m so used to weird right wing things in other countries being funded by the US government that I’m surprised but not shocked when it happens in reverse.

That the Pope should “stick to morality” reveals a conception of morality (that Vance shares with “realists”) according to which states bombing and burning civilians is not a matter for morality.

I don't know everyone's expenses, but my sense is that these days endnotes are somewhat more expensive to typeset. They don't cost any more in PDF production, that's taken care of by any decent software, but they are more expensive in XML/HTML typesetting.

HoPWaG Volume 8, on Philosophy in the Reformation, is out! Here it is with its happy author. You can get it from Oxford University Press: global.oup.com/academic/pro... #philsky #philosophy#hopwag #reformation

Faculty on the move…

This was really good, gets into how hard it is for a reporter to get a piece done even on an open secret like Swalwell, and how this really raises questions about everyone who endorsed him while probably knowing about it

JD Vance has the opportunity for a v lucrative new venture: sell his services to the highest bidder to campaign for their opposition in any given election.

Local Whole Foods playing one of @pmomtch.bsky.social’s songs. Not what I normally get from in store music.

They’re here, in settings. If you are basically normal you probably don’t have any. But “app passwords,” aside if you ever reuse passwords across services, you should stop doing that and change to unique ones.

There are so many great projects happening at Bristol.

Daniel Dennett’s Real Patterns in Science and Nature— new collected volume is now out. All chapters open access, including my paper with Acyuth Parola on what emergence can possibly mean. direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edi...

Today's fun with Editorial Manager. I put together a submission. Hit submit. It says it has to make it into a PDF, and send it to me for approval. Fine. This takes several minutes. Surprising, but fine. I get it, and follow the link to approve it. There's a link saying "Action Links". I click it.

I didn’t think we’d get to this point but here we are. Please support our fight for a fair contract by honoring our strike today. The sooner we can reach an agreement on the contract, the sooner we can get back to doing journalism in this urgent time.

This seems plausible, and also true for academics.

For those curious. This is the Stawell Gift. Australia's oldest and richest short-distance running race which has a handicapped start. It's a great watch. The US sprinters are through to the semis. Read more about the Gift here if interested en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stawell....

Iran is threatening to target American universities operating in the Middle East. Georgetown, Cornell, Northwestern and other university campuses closed their premises in Qatar until further notice. New York University’s Abu Dhabi operation has done the same.
