I love when PhD students review books because they are absolutely ruthless (I have been on both ends of the stick)

Chatbots can make Continental philosophers sound Analytic. Whether this is good or bad I leave up to you.

pretty sure it's the only business model where the company does not produce the product they sell and they sell it to the people producing said product for any amount of money they want 😬

I didn't know that video, excellent

Always amuses me that this both (highly influential) comedy for a mass audience, and an extremely specific pisstake of four or five specific, objectively pretty obscure academic philosophers.

I don't think that is loony or leftish. For profit academic publishing makes absolutely no sense.

Dans mon université actuellement
- la préparation au (nouveau!) CAPES en Licence n'est pas garantie à la rentrée prochaine
- les départs ne sont pas remplacés
- nous devons refaire nos diplômes en réduisant encore le nombre d'heure étudiants et augmentant le nb d'heure des enseignants

Really? Wikipedia seemed to say otherwise but maybe it's wrong. It says Hr. Dr. Prof. in the video

Also I'm sorry but if you're a professor you don't have time to murder rival family members

How your emails find me

( I thought in Germany they took titles seriously too)

Tbh court is a wild place to usurpate an academic title it's just weird

@spiegel.de I'm watching your video on the murder case involving a guy teaching in Strasbourg business university and I'm pretty sure he's just teaching a few classes and not a "professor", at least according to the uni registry

Mais pour l'instant tout le monde trouve ça trop petit 🤣

J'espère que vous avez pu trouver autre chose

Meanwhile je suis toujours en CDD et je peux pas acheter achevez moi

C'est un défilé de visites de jeunes femmes dont le papa va acheter pour elles 🥲 je vais caner

Cette histoire c'est de l'exploitation de bug système.

"Attendez on a pas le droit de financer abusivement un parti ?"
"Non"
"Mais par contre je peux lui faire éditer un bouquin et lui donner autant d'avances que je veux ?"
"Heuuuu"

Le pire vraiment

god almighty. mr cofnas heading to Ghent university

Nobody has time/money/energy for that is my guess

Are we falling out of love with nonfiction? In the early 2020s, readers flocked to books to explain political turbulence. But is the world now too grim to read about – and are podcasters taking the place of authors?

I don't know, I made a lot of viral contents about one of my books, people are interested in the topic, but not that many people decided to actually read it in the end www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

Panel #66: Engaging Policy in STS Research and Practice Abstract: Throughout its history, the STS community has engaged with the important policy questions of the day, showing how public issues are constructed in tandem with evidenceand expertise, and how technological infrastructures are inseparable from social systems. STS scholars have worked to have their insights recognized by policy makers and have used their direct policy engagements to advance knowledge of policy processes. The past decade, however, has seen massive shifts in the policy landscape–including in the ways that research is funded, evidence is valued, and expertise is constructed–as well as new substantive issues at the intersection of science, technology, and policy. This panel asks what STS scholars are bringing to, and taking away from, their engagements with evolving policy processes. What STS tools best help us understand policy issues, and where do new circumstances require new theories and analytical methods? How can STS analysis not only advance knowledge but shape effective political action? And how does engagement with policy function as an intellectual project in its own right? This open panel invites submissions from across sectors (e.g., environment, innovation, health, criminal justice), and with historical and global perspectives (particularly outside the United States and Europe).
