Here you go. It's good.

"Robin James

With the new Vandy/Wash U report about music specifically out, I am reminded how the last time I presented at the American Society for Aesthetics in 2006 my co-panelist told me "gender and race are not philosophical issues" and I walked out of the Peter Kivvy keynote when he started ranting about why anyone would care about Beethoven's race; two old white men philosophers laughed at me as I left and said "there go the political deconstructionists."

In 2006 the Philosophical Gourmet Report policed the field such that feminist, continental, Af-Am, Latin-Am, anything that wasn't analytic LEMM (logic, epistemology, metaphysics, mind) 'wasn't real philosophy.' That same report consistently put NYU as the #1 philosophy department in the English- speaking world - because you couldn't study things that 'weren't real philosophy' there. Guess where every single one of the main players in the Vandy/ Wash U report met? NYU philosophy.

So when I say the Vandy/Wash U report is re-making the historical divisions in the field of philosophy for the rest of the humanities, I mean it in a direct way: it's literally the same people/scene that 20 years ago that held feminism/non-Western/continental "aren't real philosophy" that's now generalizing that same argument to humanistic inquiry writ large. What's changed is that institutions outside the discipline of philosophy are empowering these people to keep grinding their same old axe."

Hiya! Since it's almost Halloween, it's time for one of my "favorite" spooky season PSAs! Don't buy taxidermy bats! None of them are ethically sourced, most are endangered, and the market for taxidermy or freeze dried bats is descimating local populations. Etsy, ebay, curio shows, none are okay.

every time I see that "what if video games 100% personalized to me" post go by, I think about how you sports weirdos have gotten so agitated over sports events that I *went and tried to watch baseball* just for the joy of experiencing it with you, and I wonder what it is like to not feel that.

When Henry Fonda was in his teens he witnessed the very public lynching of Will Brown during the Omaha race riots. It wasn't something he had wanted to witness either. The experience left such a mark upon his soul that he never forgot. It informed a lot of his later politics.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

Here is a cartoon I did of Danny Trejo & Harvey Keitel. Fuck ICE. Pen and ink on paper.

Here is a cartoon I did of Danny Trejo & Harvey Keitel. The cartoon is a drawing of them saying: “Hi we’re Danny Trejo and Harvey Keitel, and we’re starring in a currently filming movie portraying ICE in a positive light. We should never know a moment’s peace for this, but we’re banking on the decades-long mass casual acceptance of ethical apathy toward actors starring in political propaganda like pro-war films and movies promoting fascist values to enrich our careers and boost our social status. It’s pretty fucked up, and it’d be a shame if people stopped letting this happen”. Pen and ink on paper.

It's extremely corrosive to civil order that we hear "Trump is breaking the law" and most people think "when I break the law I am *minimally* involved in a drawn out cruel display of state power and *maximally* deprived of my freedom" and for actual members of the government its a "whoopsie".

Nic Cage:

He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”
