I am currently out of the philosophy department on parental leave. if this inquiry is about classes for next semester, please email the chair of the department. if your inquiry is about the nature or existence of the external world, please consult René Descartes' work
Just got the best out-of-office message I've ever seen from a fellow academic:
"I am currently away on leave. If this is an emergency... well, I doubt it. What could possibly be an emergency in my line of work?"

Interesting paper - a reminder that instability of hours worked poses real challenges for low earners. Challenges higher earners would never put up with christinahydepatterson.com/_files/ugd/322…

Making multinationals publicly disclose country-by-country reports would boost tax revenues and curb abuse. The UN Framework Convention offers a chance to establish public reporting as a unified standard. @icrict.bsky.social

This is exactly the kind of thing I expected from 'Abundance' and exactly the kind of thing it failed to deliver bsky.app/profile/ryan...
it's not the rules so much (solar can be quite dangerous) it's how obnoxious and burdensome it is to comply with them. a whole bunch of complicated ass paperwork you either have to assemble yourself or pay someone $$$ to fill out. and then getting approved takes months

This, this, this. If journalists don’t scrutinize this and explain it properly now then they have failed on their duty and will bear a share of the blame if such policies are enacted (most of the public oppose them and don’t I think realise what is being proposed yet).
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.
