overheard my 4-year-old daughters playing today

Twin 1: "I don't like the police"
Twin 2: "yeah, they're so hatey"

I'm so proud 😊

quote with your favourite picture of you from 2025

I've been told that I look like I'm either about to give a lecture about the philosophy of William Whewell or about to give the meanest synthwave set since the 80s

dear medical doctors, as a fat guy who has been taking significant steps to improve my fitness over the past year, here's a bit of advice: yelling at me that I'm killing myself by being a fat guy is NOT a good way of encouraging me to come back for routine appointments

I want to write an article about how philosophers can contribute to healthcare practice, based on my experience over the past year of helping with the development and operation of a new trans healthcare service, but am struggling to think of a suitable academic-y venue. suggestions are appreciated.

you'll be fine if you've read the origin story "Naming and Necessity"
Will I be able to follow 'Fast and Furious' if I haven't seen the earlier films ('Sense and Sensibility', 'Pride and Prejudice')?
