Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Täna on Eesti iseseisvuspäev. Tähistame Eesti vabadust, mille võitsime samuti ülekaaluka vaenlase vastu. Täna möödub ka kolm aastat täiemahulise sõja algusest Ukrainas. Meie kohus on toetada Ukrainat kuni võiduni. Elagu Eesti! Слава Україні!

Putting emotions on the back burner and acting together, in a coordinated manner is exactly what we need right now. Ukrainian people who are already exhausted by the war are under a very strong emotional pressure right now. This is not the first such occasion during this war.

Scientists have reconstructed the insane weather of Tylos, a world so hot, and so close to its sun that the clouds are made of vaporised metal, and where it rains liquid sapphires and rubies. https://buff.ly/41a3GnB #ShareGoodNewsToo

NO WARRIOR CAN FIGHT ALONE. ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

VLADIMIR: Well? Shall we log off? ESTRAGON: Yes, let's log off. They do not log off.

Nothing exists in itself.

In an interview with the Kyiv Independent, Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek addresses the role of humor in wartime, the roots of the long-standing romanticization of Russia in the West, and the failure of the left in the face of Ukraine’s fight for survival.

If you need some optimism in your reading world, I highly recommend giving this collection of essays/interviews a read. We’ve heard all the doom about our climate emergency. “What If We Get It Right” takes a moment to share a vision of the future if we do make changes. It’s hope, for a change.

It exists! Head of Zeus (the UK publisher) sent me a photo of it hot off the presses! It has amazing textured paper! It's so beautiful! It's so orange! It's so violent! It's so so so so fat! 😰 But it's a fast read! I swear! 🥺 Full of jokes & tales & passion & drama & giraffes &...

David Lynch opened and held a place for art that other creators could point to whenever a potential editor or producer wanted to turn their work down because it was too weird, and get that work made/published etc. He kept proving audiences weren't dumb.

A metaphysician is a physician who cures other physicians. And metastable? A building where metahorses live.

Look, if Russia is investing millions of dollars and dozens of troll farms to oppose and smear a candidate in your country, then that’s the fucking person you need to elect.

Vaccines are among the best of inventions. There's a high chance that without them, and the herd immunity they can deliver, you'd either not be here or would face a lifelong disability: *whether or not you had them yourself*. It seems crazy to have to point this out, but we forget it at our peril.

Very much looking forward to this! 🚀

Anyone interested in process ontology might want to look at Dynamic Realism - Uncovering the Reality of Becoming through Phenomenology and Process Philosophy, by Tina Röck (Edinburgh UP 2022). We share a lot, but there are interesting differences - she relies a lot on Husserl, quite surprisingly!

What if dreams are not, as Freud says, the fulfillment of a wish but rather a form of communication with the incommunicable, a metaphysics of communication across the thresholds of excommunication: the fulfillment of a communion no longer possible?

What the duck? Just horsing around…

Digging through some old photos, I stumbled into this picture of Arcs from four years ago. I think the game was over a year old at this point. While I have a lot of respect for folks who can design quickly and are able to work on lots of games, I'm very happy to be able to work slowly.
