Thank you, Ian Ground, for bringing Ramsey under the care of the British Wittgenstein Society. Found the tag: @brittwittsoc.bsky.social

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.

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.

I’m so glad Aeon found a way to use this picture for my article. It’s of Kathy Wilkes, taken by the secret police. aeon.co/essays/how-a...

Raised 689% of target, by 71 supporters. Now that there are more folks on this platform, perhaps we can push that even higher!
