This is bullshit! What are the charges?

Sort of, but sort of not. I guess I think there are readings of "ought" that display information-dependence, but also some that don't and I do worry a bit about the people who say that the latter aren't really normative because often they encode our sense of rights, duties, and obligations.
I get that there’s a plausibly true reading of ‘should rent the property out’ that’s true if the owner doesn’t know about the infestation (and I don’t think this ignorance has to be culpable—in large buildings, this can happen quite quickly) but that’s possibly compatible with the above.
Given state and local laws, we can assume that owners cannot rent properties infested with pests. For me, that’s a pretty good reason to think the ‘shouldn’t have rented in the first place’ thing is known even if we don’t know the owner’s informational state.
A good test case for the internalism-externalism debate. You get a holiday rental and discover it’s infested with cockroaches. Bad for the vibes. Owner offers a discount. Renter asks, should owners profit from renting properties that they shouldn’t have rented in the first place?
Do Australians “go to the fishos“ for fish and chips?
Been working on a new project and have a collection of things on it out under review. It's not easy breaking into a new area, but I'm really hoping for some luck here as it might help with a grant application. I have about a month to get the application in and hoping one of the things out lands.

My man isn't into facts
not the time to both sides this shit.
Go where and do what? Texas was almost my escape from an awful employer a few years ago. I’m relieved I didn’t jump now, but there hasn’t been a place I could go in country even if I took an entry level position
Have you been following the academic job market closely? I was headhunted and moved to a terrible employer and there hasn’t been a job in this country at my level in at least 4 years. It’s not the US but it’s not a small country.
Do they do the “How the light gets in festival?” This festival used to ask our students to do free work for valuable experience on their cvs and wouldn’t give them meals or anything… so come out, work for free, buy our overpriced food while richer people bathe in bullshit
Here’s my review of qld. Went for a swim in the outdoor pool. Put my shoes on to get in the elevator. Keep getting little pinches like there’s a splinter in my shoe. Remove foot. Find a big ass cockroach in my shoe was bighting my foot. Dumped it out, smashed it, want to come home.
Not my wrist. This was on trip two with philosophy friends where we discovered I was oh so close to getting the name right. this was more the vibe.
It’s a real place. And it’s beautiful. Here’s a picture. The signs were there, I guess.
As I ask the driver to head to non-existent Surfer’s Cove, reminded of the time I went away for a romantic weekend getaway in a failing relationship to stay in picturesque Snuggler’s Cove … only to discover that it was in picturesque Separation Creek
My modest proposal is that executives in universities have to survive an annual confidence vote. We’ve surely past the point where the burden of proof has shifted.

It's going to be wild to see how opinions about piss Christ guy are going to evolve in the days to come.
Please don’t do this, America. Please don’t act like the Trump-Epstein emails we saw today were our first glimpse of something.
Don’t buy the narrative that these emails are useful because they *hint* at misconduct. We *know* there was misconduct.

The available evidence places Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell at the heart of a multistate and multinational child sex-, sex- and human-trafficking ring whose discovery could change the course of history.

This is an actually interesting phenomenon, seeing possible future evidence you know in advance won't be exonerating as a reason to enter into a suspension like state when you really can already know what you're hoping to know now.
Americans consume 200,000 tons of craisins each year, but I can't get any of them to start using 'creason' to talk about our credences about reasons. And it hurts.

My favourite part of the conversation was when he gave me a mini crash course on necessary and sufficient conditions in explaining something about representation and contracts. I was like, this is literally the one thing that I'm trained for.

Local news. Ages ago had a long chat with Mark Irving about contracts (then read his great book on the topic). Super sharp, kind, and supportive. I'd been wondering what he's up to. Apparently it's teaching people not to send barristers threatening emails!
