  • In the US this is true in academic philosophy and probably the humanities more generally. Women get tenure track positions with, on average, half the number of publications that men have. Most tenured professors are men, but it’s slowly changing as the strong preference for women at the junior levels percolates upward. Within the next twenty or thirty years we’ll need to address the bias against men in junior positions or we’re going to end up with the same problem but in reverse.




  • I have never once cooked with a stainless steel pan and not had the food stick like crazy. Dump as much vegetable oil as you want in, let it heat up as much as you want, that tofu is sticking to the pan and getting ruined in stainless steel. I’m convinced that people who swear by stainless only ever cook meat.





  • While various previous Democratic voters said they had abstained this time due to the Harris campaign’s stance on Israel or for other policy reasons, a number of people in this camp said they would have voted for the vice-president had they lived in a swing state.

    In a group of absolute morons, this is the only rational stance. It makes sense not to vote if your vote doesn’t matter and by doing so you’re only symbolically supporting a genocide. This is of course very different from voting for Trump because of Gaza (completely irrational) or abstaining in a swing state because of Gaza.
