I used 5.2 to make a little website (www.publishingforthecycle.com) that basically contains a bunch of links. I had to help hand code nearly every step of the way. It was shockingly unreliable. i’m no anti-hyper but my expectations were tempered for sure.
I made a thing that I hope will help admins continue to look upon my dept favorably. I kind of expected the philosophical community to be intense about it, but it has been treated so far with the right level of (not so) seriousness. Have a look! Lmk if I missed anyone.

New thing.
Being honest needn't involve telling the truth, avoiding deception, and the like; it instead involves vindicating the trust to which others are entitled under the (often unspoken) agreements that govern our relationships.
Or so we argue.

It was a good discussion. We spent a lot of time making sense of something being sad or grief-worthy but not bad (btw, Ben Bramble gets a lot of mileage out of this idea in his new book-length defense of his brand of utilitarianism).
Self-fashioning eased their AI related dread, too!

Some papers I taught this semester in my upper division undergrad course on life's meaning from philosophers who post here:
Congrats!
Your gender discourse paper is really good, btw.
Who comes to mind when you think about epistemologists who earned in their degree in the last decade who don't do applied, formal, or zetetic epistemology?
Don't be shy if this describes you or your students!
Hopefully @emollick.bsky.social reads your posts!
Time to shine
But we love looking jacked!

A few months ago @nglaskowski.bsky.social posted about philosopher Mary Evelyn Clarke. It seems not much is known about her. So, I did some digging—this PDF is what I’ve found so far (sadly, not much). If you know more, or spot any errors, I’d love to hear from you! www.louisdoulas.info/MEC.pdf
Finally attended my first International Social Ontology Society conference. Grand time. All my favorite talks were from grad students. Love to see it.

Ever wonder what the principle of utility is or how it can or can't relate to run-of-the-mill non-moral facts? Ever wonder what moral laws are for? You can read all about what Nathan Howard and I think about these and other questions in our new paper draft.

Maybe? I think it would be reasonable for those cited in the context of the general discussion to feel "called out".
Like you, I think it's good to hold academics to higher standards of intellectual honesty. But I also think it's good to hold academics to higher standards of civility.
Oh sure but isn't it pretty tough to be justified in thinking that an academic isn't honestly grappling with ideas due to ideological convenience? And isn't the bar on such justification pretty high given the severity of the accusation?
"low-decoupling academics who refuse to acknowledge basic evaluative facts"
"If they’d just stop and think clearly for a minute"
Yeesh!
