Professor of Analytic Journalism declares fake news to artificially create
irony based on tired stereotypes is now worth it. As long as it's funny.
That's ironic. And funny. Take it and run. ;-p

I use the same Google screening service on my Pixel phone. On our landline,
I recorded a similar screening message using our voice-mail system. It will
also record the caller's message.

Are you affected by the ongoing Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp outage? I don't
use Facebook or Instagram, only WhatsApp occasionally, in addition to Telegram
and Signal. It seems to be a DNS/BGP problem. I must admit I have never heard
of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) before.

I use Google call screening which asks the caller to say their name and
reason for calling. If they say anything I see a transcript and I can
answer immediately. Most calls from numbers I don't recognize result in
hangups.

Our phone service here (in N. Carolina) includes caller id by voice —
which is generated by a text-to-voice program that hilariously garbles
the text. It seems like state of the art circa 1990.

I agree with some of that. I mentioned the dependently typed programming

OK. But academia is in serious trouble, not least exhibited by the rise of
populism and anti-intellectual distrust of those who might be attracted to
depth-first search.
Another story: At the last salon, an entomologist asked me "Why do you know so
much philosophy?" My guess is he was actually

And I'm using "focus on" ... I'm not saying *ignore* consistency. Simply spend

In some depth first search one might find a sub-problem that was uncrackable.
Once I talked to such a person for a while and asked them about their day and

I'm not making an anti-reductionist argument ... or, at least, not the typical

I don’t see it that way. Consistency is work for computers and creativity is

So, here again, we seem to be dancing around the hegemony [ξ] of consistency.
EricS brings in "coherence", which I like better. But I think it's the same
concept. Monism, "not being self-contradictory", objective Bayesian priors,
coherence, the ontological status of actual infinities, integrated

Wu wei more like having an affect “get itself done” without making a big noise
about doing it. A kind of more efficient getting-done by avoiding the
