Our mistake when we wrote _Calling Bullshit_ was to assume that people would deliberately abuse the flexibility of quantitative metrics to mislead.
We devoted inadequate attention to people making up complete and utter nonsense with no possible grounding in fact.

"equality" is a convenient shorthand for the much less convenient concept of not being too outrageously unequal in specific ways. we are never equal exceot before the law. and we definitely arent equal there either.

Robert Nozick talks about the way we sometimes argue in Philosophy: it’s as if should we catch an opponent in an inconsistency and they refuse to back down then they die. This is how we’ve been approaching Trump on this platform. Hasn’t worked.

Stalin asked the man, "Comrade, who did you mean when you said that?"
"I meant Hitler, of course." replied the man.
Stalin turned to the policeman, "So comrade, who did YOU mean?"

go and see shows. support all ages shows. DO THINGS. we are all we have. we make our world
Just re-upping this. The world feels very grim at the moment but watching this young, disabled-, queer- and ND-inclusive community grow reminds me things aren't all bad. They're getting closer to opening but any help makes it easier. Non-profit, volunteer-led, general force for good in the world 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♾️
This is an amazing nonprofit initiative to bring the Lancaster Music Co-op back to life for the community. www.lancastermusiccoop.co.uk proud to say my partner @derekalanmeins.bsky.social is a volunteer! See the website for the monthly gig listings - next one on Friday!
