The degree to which I dislike philosophy in general - and Kant in particular - cannot be overstated. And yet.

Cover of:
Complete Works of Immanuel Kant: Pure Reason, Practical Reason, & Many Others.
(And what a cop-out of a book title, honestly!)

I feel like the video from Portland with Yakety Sax blaring in the background while Kristi Noem seethed from a rooftop was excellent evidence of this.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

So perfectly innocent dogs aren’t allowed to bolt through the house and avoid eye contact without raising suspicion these days?

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I hope to see big numbers coming in starting a week from tomorrow when satellite locations open up all around RVA!

Created a timeline of upcoming expansion of Virginia early voting hours and locations

A lot happening starting next weekend

That’s why it’s hard to draw big conclusions about early voting right now

Have around 1/3 of early vote so far and a lot can change

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Typos aside, but also that paragraph (particularly the highlighted part) has letter and word spacing that don’t seem to match the rest of the memo.

Maybe could be Waluigi, only because that’s a much more hilariously awful name 😂

UGH. What an absolute piece of trash he is.

I forget who I was talking to at my job but it was definitely someone who is a researcher (with R01 levels of funding) who told me more about the absolute joke that that study and its accompanying publication both were.

Very much exactly what Andrew Wakefield did when he did his “study” back in the day - crafted what the study funders asked him to find, and voila - vaccinations cause autism. 🙄

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.
