F.P. Ramsey’s grave finally has a refurbished headstone! Thank you British Wittgenstein Society for doing all the work and for allowing me to contribute in a more mundane way.

Letter from Dewey to Roosevelt, 1936. ... Fifty years ago, at the Statue [of Liberty], this country was spoken of as an asylum of the oppressed, a haven for political refugees who had been driven from their homelands. Today this tradition is in danger of being completely discarded.

Letter to John Dewey from his daughter in Vienna, Jan 1934. A lesson for us today about complacence: "Well, we shall see what we shall see, and while Im not at all enthusiastic about a Nazi gov, I suppose life will go on much the same either way".

Looking forward to doing my first ever joint talk, with @roberttalisse.bsky.social: the Chris Hookway Memorial Lecture, Sheffield, June 3. If you're in the UK (or from farther afield and loved Chris), do come!

John Dewey's daughter, who lived in Vienna, writing to her family in Sept 1933. I dont see how the gov can hang on, it has a large part of the country districts against it, almost all the states with the exception of Upper and Lower Austria are fanatically Nazi, Dad saw it in St. G. in June.

One (of many) great things about the LCBO is the ability to do this.

BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford says they are removing ALL American drinks from the market. The LCBO has a monopoly on drinks distribution in Ontario. Trump just torched $1 billion of US exports. Holy shit.

Just think of all the those over the last 150 years who walked by and admired this tree - Keynes, Ramsey, Wittgenstein, Russell, and even the likes of you and me.

Vaccines work. Masks work. Lockdowns are sometimes necessary. Access to affordable healthcare/medicines is a human right. Immigrants are generally an asset. Equality/Diversity/Inclusion policies are a good idea. Abortion is sometimes needed to save life. Keep saying these things. Truth is important.

I'm sorry to hear that Robert Paul Wolff has died. He was a strong voice for the left and one of the last of a golden age of Harvard philosophy. I had the pleasure of interviewing him about his teacher C.I. Lewis.

Berlin is full of interesting monuments. This one, however, is just marking a policeman who happened to fall off his horse in the woods.
