@tudelftceg.bsky.social has an interesting floor plan. Can you spot the mistakes?

List of room numbers on the CEG floor plan. It has room 1.96 twice on the list. Room 1.98 is supposed to be on groundlevel, which goes against the logic. Trust me, it is not there...

Delft Uni of Tech has found its time again. Even when the clock setting may still be somewhat off.

Well, for me @profaliceroberts.bsky.social wrote the more convincing of these two books. Obviously, very different books, both on christianity in the world in specific ways. Still, I know which one I prefer, in terms of line of and consistency in reasoning.

Well, I work on water infra, so happy to follow up on advice of a fellow PhilOfTech conference participant to check this game! 😃😃🫠🫠

Presenting my own water stuff in a session surrounded by AI-related papers with a shared Q&A: most questions focus on dry items. 🫠🙄 But it was good fun. I could stress one observation that helps me in my own work: through infra one meets the designer(s) and their ideas. This also holds for AI. 😉

"God heeft ... broederschap." Vast wel. Ligt het aan mij of is dit gewoon een eigenaardige zin in een historisch werk? Als we deze entiteit dan toch als historische actor opvoeren, hoort de naam wellicht in het personen- of zakenregister opgenomen te worden? 🙄

Submitting two proposal texts (before the deadline!), and finalizing a few non-prop things early (and one very late...) this week. Wow. I feel productive! Probably for five minutes...

Just finalized a preproposal. Actually, I like it... but that has not prevented rejections before! 😉🫣🙄

The Kitten, created 1970 by Mary Bishop in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. This is part of a vast body of work she created during her 30 years there, which expresses distress, explores her traumatic history & critiques the psychiatric system

De dood van Jason Arday legt allerlei bekende mechanismen bloot, ziet Nadia Bouras. Als wetenschapper van kleur wordt je werk verdacht gemaakt, en als je faalt, bewijs je dat diversiteit failliet is. ‘Ik wil hetzelfde privilege als iedere middelmatige witte man aan de universiteit.’

‘Fouten maken is het privilege van witte wetenschappers’

Wat Jason Arday overkwam, is voor veel academici van kleur pijnlijk herkenbaar, schrijft columnist Nadia Bouras.
