In the US this is true in academic philosophy and probably the humanities more generally. Women get tenure track positions with, on average, half the number of publications that men have. Most tenured professors are men, but it’s slowly changing as the strong preference for women at the junior levels percolates upward. Within the next twenty or thirty years we’ll need to address the bias against men in junior positions or we’re going to end up with the same problem but in reverse.

This is literally carnap.io for formal logic teachers. Just a dude in Nebraska holding all of us up. He’s not even an academic anymore!

Don’t give them any ideas

Not forgotten, too many of you guys are sellouts. They’ll die in the climate wars so they’re covered.

Or in the case of my dumb microwave: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP.

WHY SO MANY

I don’t think you should state this so definitively in a couple sentences, when philosophers whose job it is to figure this out are still pouring out dissertations on this question.

It’s definitely effective, but you have to take a higher dose vs. IV. Usually it’s between 60 and 120mg and it’s delivered via troche in the cheek.

It’s worth noting that in the US there are ketamine therapy companies that send you oral ketamine in the mail. It costs about $120 per month and is accessible after a short zoom appointment.

I had thought it’d be useful for separating two different types of task. Like one project is one desktop and the other is another. But nope, they’re not properly siloed at all. Making changes in one often affects the other unexpectedly. It’s a very dumb design that has little use as a result.

Avocado. Definitely the best one.

Incentives for worker ownership of companies to move more major economic decisions into the hands of workers. Mandatory worker representation on boards of directors. Significant wealth and inheritance tax. A nationalized healthcare service. Public ownership of all utilities, including internet service. Bring back programs like the WPA and CCC to rebuild infrastructure. Entirely publicly funded elections. Overturn Taft-Hartley, overturn all “right to work” laws natonwide. I think all these things would help us transition to a more just, inclusive economy. That’s what democratic socialism is to me, and it’s not just social democracy.

Free us!

I always thought it was pretty stupid that rage against the machine was criticized for simultaneously being anticapitalist and commercially successful. What do we want, commercially successful bands to all be bootlickers or completely apolitical? Much better to reach more people.

I had never used Instagram reels until recently but also found it pretty damned addictive once I did try them. The ease of access and variety of content is pretty compelling. Of course, it’s information junk food. Very little of intellectual value comes with it, and it’s quite mentally passive, so it’s a good idea to limit how much time you spend on it.

Thinking about buying a gun and starting training so I’m not behind when the shit inevitably hits the fan.

Thanks for the info!

I’m not a supporter of Israel but I keep seeing this claim. It seems disingenuous, though: is Israel supposed to avoid sending any aid into Gaza at all? If you want to send humanitarian aid, you’re always inadvertently helping the government of a place. Saying Israel funded Hamas suggests that Israel literally cuts checks to Hamas, the organization, which is misleading.

Of course, by this point any aid Israel has sent has been pretty well morally out balanced by their absolutely bloodthirsty attacks on Palestinian civilians.

Should just be one big flat line along the bottom.

Apparently commercially available solar panels are around 20% efficiency.
