this is designed to humble the author
look if you’re going to have a book launch, at least have a ceremonial “launch” wherein the author throws a copy of their book as far as they physically can
Me when leftists want to do art criticism:
don’t sect so, don’t sect so, don’t sect so close to me
*two hundred different groups speaking at once* why are you booing me? I'm not the sectarian!
I always love when people talk about being anti-sectarian. Yeah bud, everyone is anti-sectarian, and the sects above all, lmao

I will never forget the time I was at a conference in a PA suburb (near my hometown) and I suggested to people that we could go to "the city" for dinner. I was roasted by NYers for using the term "the city" to refer to *Philadelphia, the city like ten miles away* bc the term is reserved for NY (???)
Most people rejected his message. They hated Freud because he told them the truth.

looks like weight loss is back off the menu, boys
and this is not me giving props to catholic social thought. lol
the funny thing about reading/teaching catholic social thought is that you can pretty quickly clock how its fundamental normative concepts are not very different from those of gut-reflex marxist humanists lol
American imperial bloodlust wanted to bring untold murder to Iran for so long that the post-hoc search for a casus belli is a buffet of justifications. Every clan of the Empire takes their pick, because there is no 'reason', only the drive: getting high on a world-historical spectacle of cruelty.

Have a new pub out here: philpapers.org/rec/FRICPA-7 was originally a conference paper but got picked up as an editor's pick of the conference proceedings (Society for Advancement of American Philosophy). I argue that if we want diversity in philosophy, we need jobs for philosophers.
it's deliberate chemical warfare. they are gassing the civilians of tehran. they can get away with this & the slow escalation of more destructive weapons with "plausible deniability" b/c they are aware their civilian populations are either entirely pacified or powerless to oppose
Also, made a list to keep up with the news. Bsky isn’t as fast as Xitter, but I’m trying to build reliable feeds (nodes). Please let me know if there are others I should add

Personally, I think imperialism is bad when it 'has a plan' too.
I think this does somehow save them some cap space in '26, as well, so that could also be a factor? but yeah, would that we could see the nuts and bolts of this deal/be in the room, lol

Deniz what's your take on the extension
North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.
casuals already calling this an overpay, lmao
The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.
Attacking access to water is definitionally genocidal.
While I will never personally be able to rally around the flag unless it’s on fire, I also think any socialist or even nominally “Left” project, org, movement that can’t imagine a world after and without the United States of America is doomed

there are a lot of Hegel Gregs. what's up with that
