Soon the freezing Oxford climate will be all the rage and you'll suffer from overpopulation.

Killed in a bomb attack in Gaza in March.

Joan. A little while ago.

A year and c. 10,000 children later.

Disgraceful and unsurprising.

Netflix removed most of their Palestinian movies, following outside pressure. So not really my freedom.

I share the general sentiment but note that first year survival rate of grey squirrels is c. 20%.

Susanne Bobzien @susannebobzien.bsky.social · Dec 13

Yes.

Nice one

If the world will let them. There is a history of disregarding the view of the Syrians. Here's a 2018 blog post by Layla Al Shami that points this out (among other things) leilashami.wordpress.com/2018/04/14/t...

I think the guy is called Ctesippus, not that it matters.

"The Israel Lobby" has always been a go-to book for this, but I believe it's written for age 11 and above.

I've long been waiting for someone doing a detailed study on how Pre-Rafaelites and British Art Nouveau pilfered Eastern and Islamic fabric, rug, tile, patterns, etc. and presented them as their own style. (The only good thing: the originals are still better.)

Great list and thanks for doing this. Could you add me? I satisfy the description.

Susanne Bobzien @susannebobzien.bsky.social · Nov 23

Thanks Eric for doing this!!!

Susanne Bobzien @susannebobzien.bsky.social · Nov 23

Thanks for posting. Data are so important.

Use your own mind to figure out how this happens. And then use your collective minds to figure out to make this unhappen. Y'all, for now at least keep your Ex-Twitter accounts if you want to get unfiltered uncensored news, however terrible that site has become.

Anyone on bluesky who believes that lack of algos means lack of censorship is naive. I've now 2 followers whose accounts have been *flagged* & only show a blur rather than pics, & when you click on the pics all they show are a house in ruins, or someone standing in front of a landscape of ruins.

This is one thing I love about being an academic: people with overlapping areas of expertise working on putting together the same jigsaw puzzle, working on solving the same problems. The notions of the ivory-tower academic and (usually white male) genius philosopher should really be retired.

As Jamie's #Frege paper explicitly left 2 minor questions open, I answer these in a tiny paperli entitled "Frege, Sigwart, and #Stoic logic", also in HPL. It's merely historical, zero special philosophical insights of any sort. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... open access

Frege, Sigwart, and Stoic Logic

This very brief paper provides plausible answers to the two residual questions that Jamie Tappenden states, but leaves unanswered, in his 2024 paper ‘Following Bobzien: Some notes on Frege’s develo...

HPL has published a very nice historical paper by #JamieTappenden about Frege's social interaction with others: mathematicians, scientists, philosophers. And despite its title, I promise it really has nothing much to do with me. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... open access

Following Bobzien: Some Notes on Frege's Development and Engagement with his Environment

Loosely connected reflections on some issues raised by Susanne Bobzien concerning the extent to which Frege interacted with scholars in his environment, and what he may have learned from them. I fi...

Very short thread for #Frege scholars and *maybe* 19th cent. German philosophy scholars

I asked that a while ago, especially with philsky, once you hear the Slavic nobility ending, it's hard to get back to the blue sky ending. But blue sky it is, sorry Monica.

It used to be called skeeting, with the post being called a skeet. (No, I'm not joking.)

Susanne Bobzien @susannebobzien.bsky.social · Nov 21

Many thanks!

Susanne Bobzien @susannebobzien.bsky.social · Nov 20

Very topical.
