Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

Does anyone know if the instructor has a gofundme or something? Horrible way to start the holidays.
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

This guide is to help you bring a bit more consent into your celebrations. Consent isn’t just about sex and it’s not just about yes or no. We can all have more consent in our lives, and thinking about how to do this can mean we can all have a better time. www.bishuk.com/relationship...
Consensual Festivities
Christmas and other festivals are often just really stressful for people. If we tried to have more consensual festivities, they would be a lot more fun.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

Very interesting developments here. Pence + allies are moving to topple Heritage as the right's core think tank. That Heritage staffers wanted to join Pence, who bucked Trump on J6, but ostensibly over Kevin Roberts' embrace of Tucker Carlson, is not nothing. They're planning for post-Trump.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
