It was a very tiresome schtick. Finally some honesty

If I have to move to mastodon I'm gonna be so mad
@bluesky @jay @paul please clarify why Sarah Kendzior was suspended with no explanation. Her record speaks for itself, and she deserves transparency. If Bluesky values fairness, this should be an easy fix. Thanks in advance.

Trying to decide which Bond actor I'd most like to hear say "my car goes NYOOM" as seriously as they can
Fine, I will write the next James Bond.
INT: SEX CASINO, NIGHT
BOND: Hello I am Bond James Bond my car goes NYOOM
CUT TO: ten minutes of a chase in a sports car
BOND: Also my watch is a special watch that makes ladies blouses see through
EXPLOSION
BOND: This film is for grown ups

Okay, so hypothetically right
Imagine for a moment that you were a junior researcher and your senior coauthor promises you that you'll definitely publish before November so you can use it for your grant
And then in the lead-up to November just straight-up ghosts you
What do you do about that?

It's very jarring to me how casually people—even presumably serious people who think about philosophy—will use the phrase "intrinsic value"
From my understanding of those two words, there couldn't be a more obvious contradiction in terms. Am I just wildly mistaken about the meaning of the phrase?
