"Our job is to find the correct choice of specifications, not to see how many changes a result is robust to. A result can be completely correct, and yet not be robust to even small changes; conversely, a result can be robust to many different changes, and yet be wrong."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Did you know you can nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize?
Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

I do not think that they earnestly believe this video will convince anyone that the ICE agent was in danger and acted in self-defense. It's about stating that certain people - in this case, a queer woman activist - are undesirables who may be murdered by the state with impunity.
ah. they all got the memo

Here is my annual reminder to not say "come work with me" or "be my colleague" when sharing job ads fom your department. Being on the job market is incredibly hard. Candidates know that he actual chances of being your colleague are vanishingly small (sorry if this sounds harsh)

My contribution examines Hacking’s styles of scientific reasoning in relation to Foucault’s archaeology of discourse, focusing on the shift from positivity to truthfulness. I argue the transition is not merely terminological. Happy to share a pre-print!
I’m *very* excited to announce that the special issue of The Monist that I co-edited with Paul Roth is finally out!
It includes my new paper alongside a fantastic set of contributions.
