Plaid do not stand candidates in Scotland.

Yeah totally - no issue with the broader project at all, I just had a Diogenes moment reading the pithy version!

I don't see how the analogy works, but yes you're right, I think the pithy definition is vulnerable to all number of plucked chickens from the world of computing!

It's a smart thermostat, so while the basic model just has current and ideal temp, it can download an app that allows it to model different sorts of room occupancies and adjust its ideal temperature accordingly.

A thermostat

Behold, a person!

To tie this into the happening discourse on the analytic/continental split:
This book's bibliography features Ásta and Rach Cosker-Rowland, alongside Sylvia Wynter and Paul Preciado. It is possible, you can do it!

Cover of Transgender Philosophy: The Basics, by Matthew J. Cull

New book forthcoming!

Well, would you look at that:

Sui generics political normativity.

This year's awards for godawful branding are heating up in the University category. What seemed like a shoe-in for "Beyond Warwick" is turning into a tight race.

Perhaps what's unique about the case of dlss is that the non-neutrality of the medium is laid bare for all to see. The values baked into the generative model are displayed openly on the faces of its creations.

Part of me wonders whether this contract was an illusion all along. That the medium of presentation is not neutral is something that is widely appreciated in other art theory for other artistic forms, but perhaps the apparent transparency of code belies this in software.

Aha, thank you!

This is a genuine question and not a rhetorical one!

Question for philosophy of sport people: Are there *any* papers on transgender people in your field that aren't about which category transgender people should be allowed to participate in?

I bet your students are looking forward to your segues each week!

The last chapter of the Dialectic of Sex probably - it includes the brilliant description of giving birth as 'like shitting a pumpkin'!

Her views on child sexuality are the sketchy bit tbh, but honestly the dialectic of sex otherwise holds up pretty well. Her stuff on artificial wombs would be ace if you think your students can handle it. Makes a nice read alongside Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto

Half of the motivation of the xenofeminist position is basically "Let a hundred sexes bloom!" - they're the sort of transfeminists that the right otherwise have to imagine in order to have moral panics about.

One option: Xenofeminism by Helen Hester - it's a nice contemporary version of Firestone's radfem post/transhumanism

Yeah I like the structure a lot! Very helpful I think, and allows it to both be an introduction and not just an introduction

Just finished @aidanmcglynn.bsky.social's new book. It's great! My only complaint is that it isn't (just) an introduction: it's a pretty comprehensive survey of the field of epistemic injustice!

They are an empath trying to express solidarity! Hope the cat isn't doing too bad

Hope you're okay, glad my initial misreading of this as you being stuck on a bus with 70 Quebec people talking loudly was wrong!

Get in the Smoker Shinji

Not to suggest that her artistic practice shows a consistent attempt to chase tech clout over aesthetic and moral worth, buuut...

Sure! I'm just interested in this supposed other use that someone has suggested
