Looks like a way to move funding from public universities and basic research (already under-funded) to start-ups and &#34;unicorns&#34; coming up with dodgy apps. #politics #highered <a href="https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/fct/governo/e-uma-tragedia-que-caiu-que-nem-uma-bomba-cientistas-chocados-com-extincao-da-fct-sem-aviso-previo/20250731/688bbcdfd34e3f0baea1297d">https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/fct/governo/e-uma-tragedia-que-caiu-que-nem-uma-bomba-cientistas-chocados-com-extincao-da-fct-sem-aviso-previo/20250731/688bbcdfd34e3f0baea1297d</a> 2025-08-03T10:24:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdl8a584v68s6v2sczpat72lyurrg8jk8amgl6ncuzyqvq8cvj55gzyqjz8cjmlpzcsd9n02alqhfz465nlj4walla0z59yjrx56lkwl4fvunjtn7 &#34;Much like what Americans now remember about early-20th century communism in their country was its persecution by McCarthy, what I think shall stand out about woke censoriousness is that the populist reaction to it was far far far more censorious.&#34; <a href="https://sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/08/wokeness-retrospective.html">https://sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/08/wokeness-retrospective.html</a> #politics #philosophy 2025-08-03T10:18:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8dkssr2esctexlm4npfkyll93zvt77l6m4x8xfkl7q6rk7d8w60qzyqjz8cjmlpzcsd9n02alqhfz465nlj4walla0z59yjrx56lkwl4fv9vhxgh For my birthday, a short piece out on one of my favorite topics: style and persuasion, with a gratuitous dig at astrology queers and so-called rationalists. <a href="https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/openfordebate/in-persuasion-ignore-style-at-your-peril/">https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/openfordebate/in-persuasion-ignore-style-at-your-peril/</a> #psychology #philosophy 2025-07-21T14:39:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxnq8gp6elz0az5qevkj59ly24zmrdlf24uwfjmwgkaw7xlfhqqcgzyqjz8cjmlpzcsd9n02alqhfz465nlj4walla0z59yjrx56lkwl4fvx3fxdm A leftist case *against* family abolition - worth checking out! Key points: (1) Capital does not actually *need* the family (see: migrant women from the Global South abandoning their families to take care of rich women&#39;s families) and (2) the family is, in Nancy Fraser&#39;s words &#34;a &#39;reservoir of non-economic normativity&#39;: a sphere of values, care, and relations that capitalism exploits but cannot fully incorporate.&#34; <a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/06/family-abolition-capitalism-social-reproduction">https://jacobin.com/2025/06/family-abolition-capitalism-social-reproduction</a> #family #politics 2025-07-18T13:16:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9mpraxhd4gc9kh82a4uz8r5g2p3l58pfn8qkmd4kpxssm52vpwfszyqjz8cjmlpzcsd9n02alqhfz465nlj4walla0z59yjrx56lkwl4fvxd4w7p Eu e a <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1e6ahjrgq9eku46qfq6plm8skeu32yllmfugdgq54ctdqfvezkrqq7gh0tk" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Marta</span> (<span class="italic">npub1e6a…h0tk</span>)</a></span> recomendamos leituras de verão na melhor revista de Portugal, juntamente com os autores do meu newsletter de senhores de esquerda favorito (república dos pijamas) 🥰🥰🥰 (as nossas sugestões: Enemy Feminisms e Martyr!, dois livros de explodir a cabeça de aprendizagem e estilo). <a href="https://shifter.pt/2025/07/10-livros-para-te-dar-que-pensar-neste-verao/">https://shifter.pt/2025/07/10-livros-para-te-dar-que-pensar-neste-verao/</a> 2025-07-15T18:04:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrzuvkztr37dj7vr62plplghakqhc5e5vjp36x7680u6kn76xsrzqzyqjz8cjmlpzcsd9n02alqhfz465nlj4walla0z59yjrx56lkwl4fvclay7a Very stoked for this workshop with some of my favorite people in Berlin in a couple of weeks - stop by if you&#39;re around!

But words can also be stolen. This happens when useful words get taken up by bad actors in ways that that distort their meaning, so that we can no longer use them to think and communicate. It’s happening with “efficiency”, “merit”, and many others. How does this happen and what can we do about it?
