It took over 4 years, but the paper is finally published. In this study, we developed novel methods drawn from #LegalEpidemiology to map addiction #stigma in California law.

This #interdisciplinary work was conceptually and methodologically difficult!⤵️

It's almost as if a society with a 1000-yo history of institutionalized Jew hatred operating at the highest levels of its governing structure has an ongoing problem with Jews.

Trying desperately to find good espionage media to watch we decided to dip into the 1970s and tried out "Three Days of the Condor" with Robert Redford and Faye Subway and had to turn it off halfway through b/c it was both asinine AND offensive

The "brain in a vat" idea is so outdated & naive. It's not just electrical activity a brain processes. Contemporary neuroscience is clear that the entire body constructs our experience in manifold ways.

William Dobbins @wcdobbins.bsky.social · 1d

What about the middle ground, a brain in the vat? If human brain in a vat receives from a computer the exact electrical inputs that would come from being connected to eyes looking at a sunset or a tongue and jaw chewing up a steak would that also just be a simulation or would it then be real?

i have some questions

Hazrat's book is a history of punctuation—or some punctuation, since it barely mentions the apostrophe, the serial comma, or quotation marks. "On the Mark" is a "the X that changed the world" book, which is a popular genre. Its claim is that "the history of punctuation is the history of humanity."

This ambition inevitably leads to overreach. If punctuation played a role in everything, what about, say, the war in Gaza? Hazrat finds a link. "Punctuation marks in Hebrew," she explains, "are relics of a brutal colonial system that is far from over." Adding punctuation turned Hebrew into a spoken language, "paving the way for an artificial sense of unity among Jewish people from all over the globe, encouraging them to move to the land that already had people—a people made to suffer and bear the brunt of European anti-Semitism in the most horrendous ways for generations. " It seems (the reason is not altogether clear) that, had Yiddish been the official language of Israel, atrocities might have been avoided.

I feel this, having never had a sabbatical or research leave to speak of (maybe one 6-week fellowship?) and currently in a 2-week intensive that is the equivalent of teaching a 2 hr seminar every day

Sam Brody @samuelhayimbrody.bsky.social · 3d

apropos of this latest round I will just mention that there has been antisemitism on the left since the beginning. the people who invented anticapitalism did so in an environment in which Judaism had been equated with bad economic practices for 600 years already. AND they didn’t know any Jews

the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist) @merovingians.bsky.social · 3d

so much of this comes down to leftists who have barely interacted with Jews imo. it's also why NYC DSA gets singled out as 'zionist' or insufficiently anti-zionist, because it's our one large chapter where this is least the case.
