If you’ve got kids in your life, then you know someone who will almost certainly live through civilisation collapse. We need to degrow the economy and adapt our society IMMEDIATELY to give them even a chance of a liveable future. #Degrowth NOW!

Academic friends! Do please have a look - these are BRILLIANT opportunities, and you get to be in Durham for a term!!

I thought I knew most of his story already - but Gerald Moore's obituary of Bernard Stiegler manages to place an accessible intro to his main ideas not only alongside but entwined with and enriched by a detailed portrait of his unbelievably rich life. radicalphilosophy.com/obituary/berna…

UK academics: next time you are required to evidence your performance for probation, progression or promotion, remember the salary of the CEO of USS has increased from£291k to £756k despite the shocking performance of your pension scheme

My 6-year-old son seems to have inadvertently added Blackboard and Turnitin to my list of blocked websites. Whoopsies! (It could equally have been me or a GP, but we'll go with the child...)

My employer: Cost of living crisis means we've changed our mind about seeing restoration of USS benefits as a priority. £ for you now may be better for you. Also my employer: You're still getting a real terms paycut despite cost of living crisis. Get in the sea. #ucuRSING

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Retweeting so I can print it off for students next year.

Wonderful, groundbreaking research, led by my friend Hans Schroder, shows that framing depression as purposeful, not pathological, has better therapeutic outcomes. Continuing to promote the dysfunction/disease/chemical imbalance paradigm is becoming a serious moral problem.

So bizarre that chunks of the left think it makes more sense to blame vaccines for the rise in 'generalised adaptation disorders', rather than the pernicious culture of expecting adaptation to serve as a catch-all solution to everything.

Great to see this special issue on “entropies” out now, edited by Joel White and Gerald Moore! Thank you for the work in putting this issue together.
