To remember the Great Lakes, we used to learn the acronym H.O.M.E.S. The Trump admin has torn down H.O.M.E.S. to replace it with S.H.A.M.E. It's just SO on the nose 😭😭😭

Insofar as the complaint is that it's intuitions all the way down, I don't for a moment believe Continental philosophy doesn't rely on author intuition. Analytic philosophy is just honest when it does this. And I, for one, embrace analytic crystal girlies.

Which do you find more affecting: video game violence or tv/movie violence? (Spouse, wildly, argues TV violence is more affecting. I refuse to be alone in the world about this.)

Alas, dear Editorial Discretion, we hardly knew ye. Humanity is split on whether the current media megacorps should attend the rememberance.

I think maybe some people don't know that it's okay to just complain about things over beers. Like, you don't actually *have* to write a column every time you're annoyed by The Youths. Sorry, The Female Youths.

A world map filled with the flag of Cape Verde, featuring blue, red, and white stripes, along with yellow stars. Argentina is distinctly illustrated with its own flag colors and symbol.

Okay, AUT 😅 OR: AUS beats Egypt then Cabo (YES 😤😤😤) and ALG crushes Switzerland then Colombia, and ALG vs AUS will be game-theoretically fascinating

I need to read the decision in Landor more carefully, but it looks like it holds that one can freely violate prisoners’ religious liberty so long as they don’t personally agree to be liable for so doing on behalf of the prison…? This seems like calvinball :/ www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Any philosophical argument described as "uncomplicated" or "simple" by its author is neither.

One of these is a card a friend gave me for tenure. The other is a card a different friend, who does not know the first, gave my spouse. I think maybe we have a schtick?
