Very happy to share this. This report shows a tiny bit of what we have done so far and what we are currently doing as an #EMCA study group in Spanish! Thank you to @gchavezlazo.bsky.social, @bbasileg.bsky.social and @belvelvet.bsky.social for being part of this!

Basically it seems that any original idea you ever thought you had about conversation, either Goffman or Sacks already had it

👁️‍🗨️ Secuenciando is officially opening its 3rd season: "Designing turns, constructing actions". This season's theme is turn design, covering diverse aspects of that area. We will have data sessions in Spanish with current data from Peru's general election and its presidential debates. #EMCA
A logo of Secuenciando in the upper part. A pink and magenta circle with the title of the season: "Designing turns, constructing actions". A lectern in the middle where a politician would speak, with the colors of the Peruvian flag. Two big titles that say "3rd season" and "2026-1" (the first academic term of the year). A little subtitle that says "Elections edition". A cyan background with dots, lines and a text bubble.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them. I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

I worry that in analytic philosophy we attain neither the epistemic benefits of scientific work or the aesthetic benefits of more literary work. So it seems like a sort of worst of all worlds. It's like we opted for taking Aristotle's aesthetics and Plato's rigour or something.

Bernie Sanders just spent ~5 minutes on the Senate floor listing horrors American doctors in Gaza saw, as he brings resolutions to block $20bil of weapons to Israel. Those testimonies were collected by a doctor named Feroze Sidhwa, who I interviewed last month: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS. This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement. He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

Some people ask which of the people that Trump nominated is the most dangerous, but it seems to me that the most dangerous aspect of the situation is that Trump is trying to make the Senate submit to patently absurd nominees to establish the precedent that they don’t meaningfully check his power.
