I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Dissertations used to be like a book, but then the 3 article dissertation became popular. Next is the Substack dissertation.

Heard about how the academic job market works in Brazil. They have to take an exam in the field as part of the application process. If you're looking to make the process even more stressful, that's the way to go.

Just had some gelato in Germany. I mean, it was good, but they got nothing on the Italians. Yet, when it comes to philosophy, the Germans got them beat.

Imagine if Hegel's Logic started with "nothing" - would be a much quicker read.

Loudest show I've ever been to was a Ben Frost show after "Aurora" came out. It was in a smallish room. I was told that the venue rented speakers so their own wouldn't be destroyed. Was wearing ear plugs but had to step out at one point it was so physical, so intense. Swans was a distant second.

Nice review at Marginalia Review of Books of Gillian Rose's "Marxist Modernism" by Nigel Tubbs, who was one of her students. These are her lectures on the Frankfurt School - Tubbs does a great job of introducing this tradition and her take on it.

You've lived a wonder-full life and inspired many to do the same. The philosophical world will be a darker place without your light - I hope many of us will learn to live up to your example. Best wishes for a loving and peaceful exit.

This is wild! Philosopher Omri Boehm has been canceled as a speaker at the memorial site for Buchenwald due to, it turns out, his endorsement of the universalist, humanist values of the Enlightenment. Even Kantians aren't safe.

How are universities planning to support international students over the summer break? I suspect many students are worried about leaving for the summer or heading home out fear of not being let back into the US. Curious if this is being discussed on campuses or elsewhere.

Hegel's dialectical method? No! Fichte's synthetic method.
