Love to open up a book of popular history of philosophy and on page two find absolutely deranged mischaracterizations of logical positivism!

This is going to kill the left and centre-left in Canada's next election.

Exactly this phenomenon is what scares me about Canada's coming election.

He's complaining because he has to *do work* in order to earn money. Perfect encapsulation of how a landlord thinks.

And the people now calling for him to step aside insisted that criticizing him in any way was making Trump win.

In grad school & as a postdoc, I met American legal philosophers who looked at American legal institutions like a tween girl looks at Tiger Beat Magazine. This week's news would be hilarious to me if it wasn't the world's military hegemon slipping into fascism.

On the office door of a professor whose uni is currently reducing full time faculty by 8%, and where chairs have been instructed to cancel classes rather than hire part time faculty to make up the difference. In the middle of the attack, some people still can't see where the threat is coming from.

Also, too, the WSE. In a lot of ways, it's like the whole IMP process never even happened. In retrospect, so much of it was just pretend.

It is an unlikely combo of Six Feet Under (traumatized characters mechanically doing The Worst Possible Thing) and Ted Lasso (traumatized characters Learning To Be Happy way too easily). It mostly works for me, but still feels weird.

Using "freedom ride" as a metaphor for having sex in a car in the US south is arguably not Kesha's most tasteful lyric.

Spotted on the mean streets of Clayton Park, NS: a Honda Civic with vanity plates that read "HYUNDAI." Very confusing.

Writing in general (if that generalization makes any sense) is poorly served by the fact that high school lit teachers are the only writing teachers most people ever have. It's only one *very niche* kind of writing.

If you'll accept a friendly amendment that a redesign also has to create dedicated bus lanes, especially for the planned bus rapid transit green line, then this seems exactly right.

This is it. This is the position. 42k deaths is actually totally fine, as long as a camera doesn't take a picture of me when I break the law.
