@Permanentkritik Might be good "writing advice" but its clearly not good "career advice".

Something you deeply care about so much you will be willing to work on it as an adjunct or outside of academia.

@babboe_bakfiets @babboelastenrad when will the rain-cover for he Big/Big-E be back in stock online? is there anywhere we can order one? babboe.de/babboe-regensc…

For once Australia gives sport the attention it deserves: theguardian.com/australia-news…. The Commonwealth Games are even more of a farce than the Olympics.

@OverlandJournal How exactly is it an "appropriation" when the artistic commons still remains there available for anyone to use? The introduction of Artist copyright was the real "appropriation".

'AI generators are an appropriation of the commons of artistic creation by Silicon Valley. Not only is that wrong in itself, but in the long run it is likely to produce an ever-decreasing pool of new content to drive work-generation.' overland.org.au/2023/07/make-i…

@acidhorizonpod I don't understand why this secondary literature on Heidegger is so popular. If you are not already invested in the whole Heideggerian project its feels like a waste of time.

Preliminary reading for my next book idea. I’m back on the question of being ffs.

Just as you think Boris Johnson's legacy has reached its lowest, he does something this idiotic and even more oblivious to current public opinion : Not a #NepoBaby but a #NepoDaddy - theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

I've been waiting for years for this episode! @ChikeJeffers and I tackle Afrofuturism, discussing the philosophical dimensions of Sun Ra, P-Funk, and Octavia E Butler's "Kindred": historyofphilosophy.net/afrofuturism

@BrewDogJames Why am I not surprised that Brew Dog are basically conservative monarchists just like that old punk John Lydon?

@SKirkland88 It is curious that Sailors Grave Brewing named their Kölsch "Leviathan" at all. Other than Schmitt, there seems little to connect Cologne with Hobbes, Leviathan or the sea.

Big Friday night in.

@SKirkland88 Apt pairing. Actually, was Schmitt still living in Cologne (and hence possibly drinking actual Kölsch) when he wrote the Leviathan book? circa 1937-38.

@swyftcities Wait is the actually a parody account? Some long-game joke on Elon Musk's failed "Loop" tunnel for cars?

Swyft Cities is here to revolutionize transportation and real estate! An innovative gondola system combines autonomous pods w/ lightweight, fixed cable infrastructure to move passengers efficiently w/ significantly lower cost-per-mile & less emissions than traditional options.👇

@swyftcities @Leekshooter A self-propelled gondola as a "last-mile solution"? This would require an entire second transport system of cable infrastructure above every single suburban road. That is the most ludicrous "solution" I have ever heard.

@Leekshooter Train -- both commuter rail & light rail definitely have their place. But they still need a last-mile solution to connect stations into the surrounding neighborhoods.

Opening Facebook today, it's clear why Zuckerberg is so hellbent on Metaverse. With 90% annoying/spammy "Reels" and "Suggested for you" FB feels like a repeat of Yahoo's death spiral

@mongabay @jennybrfr Much of this applies to all cotton trousers, But what is the alternative to dyed cotton trousers? This is a serious question. Wool slacks?

The production of blue jeans, one of the most popular apparel items ever, has for decades left behind a trail of heavy consumption, diminishing Earth’s water and energy resources, causing pollution, and contributing to climate change, @jennybrfr reports: news.mongabay.com/2022/11/blue-j…
