I still have the PS2 that I purchased when it rolled out, and it still works!!
SONY PlayStation 2 released 25 years ago today, October 26th 2000 in North America.
What else can I say other than the PS2 is one of the greatest and most important consoles in the history of video games. There's simply no debating that.
The PS2 is legendary. Period.

The death of every person killed in school shootings and the assassination of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband deserve the same national attention and flag at half-mast honors as the awful murder of Charlie Kirk.

This critique of RFK Jr’s incompetence is vastly understated. It’s not just that his views are “unscientific” but the conspiracy theories and “survival of the fittest” approach to public health that he endorses is likely to lead to the death and illness of many Americans.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."
It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

It is, in fact, astonishing that the USA has twice voted in a man who for his own glory will repeat directly to the American people lies that the head of an enemy state has told him as if they were important truths.
Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

The White House directive for the Smithsonian to "align messaging" with a political task force is a sanitized term for creating a ministry of truth. This is how democratic erosion accelerates. We must not be silent.

I don't talk about it much but part of my work in the history of medicine focuses on medical and scientific imaging. For this work, familiarity with the history of anatomy is critical (if you aren't sure why, I recommend Foucault, The Birth of the Clinic).

I have been working on a global health ethics project for three years that may be coming to fruition sometime in the next couple of months. There remains some uncertainty about it now, but if things work out, I'll have a major announcement to make by the end of September. #medsky #philsky #bioethics

Honored to be part of this symposium! Your book is an important contribution to the field, Josh. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to it and to be in the company of this wonderful cast of contributors!
What a privilege to engage with these commentaries on my Neuroethics book, all in an open access journal. Really grateful for their thoughts and to Carolyn Dicey-Jennings for facilitating it. 🙏

1/ Cruelty is one of the worst vices in societies that value freedom and equality (a point from Judith Shklar). The disregard for the poor, sick, and vulnerable and the hatred of compassion that dominates the culture of MAGA is a “re-evaluation of values” that regards cruelty as the highest virtue.
