I’m obviously acting the same as I’ve always acted, and nothing about me has changed.

I FEEL FINE WEARING A HENLEY, SO THERE IS NO NEED TO LOOK AT ME.

I’m confident enough to wear it. I just have to feel confident, and I’ll be confident. Does my right shoulder seem lower than my left shoulder, like medically?

I’m in the vegetable aisle, and everyone can tell I’m taking way too long to make up my mind about what salad stuff to get. All of the terrible things going on in the world today, and all these people can do is undermine me? Wow.

Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE) offers a compelling and robust framework for understanding how scientific knowledge advances. Moving beyond the traditional dichotomy between deduction and induction, IBE is not merely one instrument among many in the scientist’s toolkit, but a fundamental engine of scientific reasoning itself. Its significance lies in its capacity to model […]

Even the intelligence services are gagged by the government when they try to tell the truth about our planetary crisis. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian  27th January 2026 I know it’s almost impossible to turn your eyes away from the Trump show, but that’s the point. His antics, ever-grosser and more preposterous, are […]

As I have argued, explanations are not deductive proofs in any particularly interesting sense. Although they can always be presented in the form of deductive proofs, doing so seems not to capturing anything essential, or especially useful, and usually requires completing an incomplete explanation. Thinking of explanations as proofs tends to confuse causation with logical […]

Thank you so much for helping us welcome our new baby into the world. We’ve done a thesis amount of research as first-time parents, so here’s an overview of what we’d love from family and friends, and what we’re prepared to return or donate. It’s adorable how the baby—not us—is SO picky.

For strollers, we’d like one of the most expensive ones—either the Nuna, the Doona, or the Buggaboo. While we know there are so many other great brands out there, we specifically do not want the FrickaFracka, BoopBoopBB, MaxiKangaroo, CyberStroll, Zzzzzoona, Goona, Swoona, StorkChaser, BeepBeepLUXE, BabyGoWeeeeee, or the JoggyBoy.

For gifts related to my breasts, the Boppy and the My Brest Friend nursing pillow are best. We’re also interested in the Tits4Tots Cushion, the Boobie Bolster, the Deluxe Udder Assist, and the Milking Wedge XL. Please be aware: There was a recent recall on the ChestRest Classic and the OucheeNipee 2.0.

When it comes to baby carriers, we’re pretty open. We love BabyBjörn, Infantino, and Artipoppe. We hate TumTumTaxi, Daddy Donkey, and Nugget Hauler.
