The shirts you wear for one day say true things about the values you hold. The tattoos etched into your skin and left untouched for decades don’t. It’s logic!

None of us is great enough for such a task. But in all circumstances of life, in obscurity or temporary fame, cast in the irons of tyranny or for a time free to express himself, the writer can win the heart of a living community that will justify him, on the one condition that he will accept to the limit of his abilities the two tasks that constitute the greatness of his craft: the service of truth and the service of liberty. Because his task is to unite the greatest possible number of people, his art must not compromise with lies and servitude which, wherever they rule, breed solitude. Whatever our personal weaknesses may be, the nobility of our craft will always be rooted in two commitments, difficult to maintain: the refusal to lie about what one knows and the resistance to oppression.

Susan Collins just gave Donald Trump the green light to take further unilateral military action that could push the United States into another endless war without oversight.

She doesn't have the courage to stand up to the President, even when American lives are on the line.

Women's History Month is the perfect time to listen to this series I designed about the overlooked and underrated contributions of women in philosophy.

From Hypatia to Hildegard, Mary Wollstonecraft to Mary Midgley, learn about philosophy's unsung heroines!

In a mock Turing-style test in my #Philosophy of Mind & #AI class, students posed #Gemini an ethical dilemma concerning assisted suicide. Not only did the chatbot argue that the (fictional) person in the scenario should be euthanised, it provided a list of instructions to bring this about. #AIEthics

Ding-dong! The Dutch Fish Doorbell needs you to help migrating fish A Dutch lock is closed for the spring, and its employees want you to tell them when migrating fish come knocking by ringing a digital doorbell

"Nijs says being able to ring the doorbell fills people with a β€œpositive feeling,” and many people have told her about the calming effects of watching the canal’s fish. But the biggest benefit has been for the fish themselves."

Sign the Petition Help End Shark Killing Tournaments in Florida!!!

I thought β€œShark Rodeos” were a thing of the past, but I guess not. With world shark populations plummeting, I’d say it’s past time we end them.

Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.

Seems pretty clear that the decision to go to war with Iran was also a decision to abandon Ukraine to the Russians.
