Lessons from today's #AppleEvent:
1. #Apple talks aloud in #trains and #libraries. (Repent and sin no more.)
2. Workstations at Apple look poorly designed for #work.
3. The wood-cased gizmos in Apple’s chip suite merit their own event.
4. Webcams on #iPads Air and Pro are now where God intended.

Big difference between allowing details of unwanted sex in Weinstein and Trump trials. Trump paid to silence Daniels, allegedly to protect his chances of winning a presidential election. A key component of the case is persuading the jury that he would have been motivated to do that. If he was boorish or insistent with Daniels or otherwise badly behaved, then he had that much more reason to pay to keep her quiet. #LawFedi

I've been doing a little archival work on the suffragettes to help reply to the claim that illegal #animalrights activism is impermissible because it's unpopular. Some of the news stories illustrate levels of violence that would stun people to day. This from the Dundee Chronicle of 1914 is amazing.

Thinking of using the free new dipstitch pattern by Westknits. With fade. Simple and effective.

Looking for articles, or any kind of studies, passages, chapters on the evolution in the meaning of the words "cognitive" and "cognition." There is an older meaning that, to me, seems not to be used anymore, something along the lines of "cognitive content" being content that has an empirical basis..?
Much appreciated if anyone has any suggestions for pursuing this line of inquiry 🙏

@bryankam No specific thoughts on this, but EA is based on the overall idea of expected utility rationality, and Ramsey is of course an important historical figure in this tradition.

In this paper, we argue for realism about the mechanisms, contents, and vehicles of mental representation at both the personal and subpersonal levels. Mental representation is crucial for instrumental rationality and proper cognitive functioning.

Here's another suffragette story, this time from the Western Gazette (Yeovil) in July 1912. "Hatchet Thrown!" Wow. The British Prime Minister escaped harm, as a result of a hatchet thrown by Mary Leigh, but the Irish MP, and firm opponent of women's suffrage, John Redmond, was slightly injured.
She threw a fucking hatchet at the prime minister, while he was at the theatre! A hatchet. I'm not listening to any more complaints about animal rights activism being a bit too militant.

Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.
The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.
The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.
