Absolutely sick and tired of the prestige bias and nepotism in philosophy hiring. People who didn't do their degree at GRLpGpAG, and who aren't literally NAMED "GRLpGpAG," should still be able to compete for the position of Mr. at GRLpGpAG!!!!

it would indeed seem that elites are capturing much of our politics
In the past decade, billionaires have been more empowered than ever before to spend money to influence American elections.
Here are the billionaires who make up the top 20 political spenders:

I wonder if the philosophy of AI bubble will also burst soon.

Trump on Mamdani: "We had some interesting conversation and some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have. But a big thing on cost. The new word is 'affordability.' Another word is just 'groceries.' It's sort of an old fashioned word but it's very accurate."

Once a situationship S's roommate R was recounting a story S told R about me. It sounded so unlike me that I immediately said "wrong bitch." It was me, doing something very characteristically me (being aghast at a spice grinder being used for coffee)

Limitarianism and Capitalism
Limitarianism holds that it is immoral to have personal wealth above a certain level. Is this idea compatible with capitalism?

There are no words for Sudan-- the "blood bath" conclusion marks the complete failure of the international community. This is a horrific situation & like so many other wars, I doubt there will be justice for these survivors & their families.

What people imagine philosophy twitter was like:
"I hate everyone who is not my particular brand of leftist"
"I do too, and I will nuke everyone who is different"
What it was actually like:
"I am depressed"
"So am I"
"Thick concepts? No: T H I C C concepts"
"Good morning I am sad"
"I hate everyone who is not my particular brand of leftist"
"I do too, and I will nuke everyone who is different"

The H1-B deadline is not enough time to reliably book a flight and travel across the world if you happen to be home with family. The only flight to the US from Singapore that would get there in time was sold out within hours of the announcement, and priced out for many.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation.
i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Have I been working on my projects which all have deadlines? No. But have I been fully present with my family and getting good rest? Also no. But have I been fixing my computer instead of endlessly distrohopping? Yeah also no

Wow: "A federal judge in Miami gave the state of Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz" because of "the environmental impacts the makeshift site was having in the federally protected Everglades."

Florida ordered to dismantle Alligator Alcatraz over environmental impact
The ruling, which gives the state 60 days to act, comes as Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to convert a prison in North Florida into a second immigrant detention site.
