I couldn't name a Taylor Swift song if my life depended on it, but I do have concert tickets for Nigerian Afropop singer Yemi Alade and British extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. 👩🏿🎤
Stay weird, friends.

I just got a suspicious email asking me to be a keynote speaker at a neuroscience conference (already a red flag since that's not my field and I'm not a senior academic). As a keynote, I'd have to pay €700 for the registration fee... You know, instead of *getting* paid or at least having the trip and accommodation covered 😅
Lots of academic scams going around, stay vigilant.

I have to spend loads of time helping students unlearn bad #writing instruction.
Page and word quotas have trained students to see writing as merely filling blank pages with text — near purposeless word vomit.
How can #teachers help?
1. Prioritize quality over quotas with. Example: “The harder it is for me to rewrite what you wrote in a way that is more clear, cogent, and concise”, the higher your paper’s grade.”

Uber's strategy of breaking laws to build a constituency for deregulation is ethically problematic.
I wrote about this in "Regulatory Entrepreneurship, Fair Competition, and Obeying the Law," Journal of Business Ethics 181 (2022): 249–261.

Latest papers: David Sanchez argue that a subject naturalist and non-factualist framework can open the possibility of an expressivist analysis of perceptual judgments that is compatible with the ecological understanding of perception https://doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2024.2314656 @philosophy #philosophy

Epictetus has some very useful considerations for us at times when we start to feel envious of what someone else is getting, and we aren't. Here's some short reflections about that little lesson

I'm looking forward to travelling to Switzerland for a great looking set of workshops on “Rethinking Institutions for Animals” next week. I would feel even better about it if my paper was in better shape than it is - I'm going to need the time spent on the train. https://philosophie.philhist.unibas.ch/de/aktuelles/veranstaltungen/details/workshop-rethinking-institutions-for-animals/

Co-authored piece just out in the Journal of Online Trust and Safety:
"Should Politicians Be Exempt from Fact-Checking?"
https://tsjournal.org/index.php/jots/article/view/170
We argue that they should be subject to the same fact-checking protocols as other users, despite some platforms applying fact-checking exemptions.

Did I just finish a paper?
Yes!
Did I immediately send it in to a journal?
Yes!
Is it one of the top journals in the field?
Yes!
With a super low acceptance rate?
Yes!
Will the article be desk rejected?
Ye... let's not jinx things, okay?

I've read a lot online about how "Y2K was overblown". As an engineer who worked like crazy in 1999 to correct our systems this drives me crazy.
Today I read about games going offline, watches getting frozen and airline tickets showing the wrong date.
Because of a leap year. Which happens every FOUR years (give or take).
Yeah Y2K was a one time thing. (Well at least until year 10000)
Isn't 2038 going to be fun.
