If ever there was someone who really believed that reality just IS appearance, it's this guy.

Of the three software or tech services grads I know about from off the top of my head, only one was not a double (one was computing and the arts, another was neuroscience)

Not sure. Next step is to look at double majors, minors, etc. experience is tough to track, and I'm not sure what kind of granularity we have from the survey data. Double majors are quite common) and encouraged) though.

But don't worry. All the bathrooms can also be used for document storage.

🤷Our internal data are a bit better anyway.

If you find better national data, I'd love to see them. They are notoriously hard to collect reliably, of course--it needs the kind of persistent multi-year effort that the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project has made for the arts. snaaparts.org

A wide variety of places. The largest single occupation is "Chief executive" surprisingly. Second largest is "Lawyer." But there are a variety of teachers, managers, software developers, environmental and medical service people (ethics and compliance), editors, administrators of various stripes...

Our internal numbers were similar to (slightly better than, actually) these national numbers from the World Economic Forum and Payscale.

Savoring that moment in a meeting when an administrator pulls up income/career data on graduates of a "practical" business degree & pulls up, on an impulse, Philosophy as an impractical degree for comparison.

Friends, the data quite emphatically did not show what he thought they would show.

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself."

Laser thermometer reads 99 aimed at leg with Hattie and deck in background

Laser thermometer reads 137F aimed.at deck with little dog lounging on it.

Laser thermometer reads 114F aimed at fur of little dog lying in the sun

Hattie likes it warm. How warm? Wait, REALLY?? deck temp, 137F, Hattie temp 114F. I couldn't believe is, so control leg temp, 99F.

Come for the good photography. Stay for the alt text.

Official BPB t-shirt?

It would be easier to transport it it were melted into a cube.

But how many cat memes did you have to swipe out of the way to get to the book?

Wow. The gazpacho plants are going gangbusters in the garden. This is today's harvest two days after a similar harvest.

Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the Nineteenth Century cover

Weighing in at 827 pages and 2 1/4 inches, our Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the 19th Century is HERE! Huge thanks to @oupphilosophy.bsky.social and our 50+ authors.

Pff. Did the the liberal justices even bother to TRY to write their dissent in R'lyehian, the language of the Old Ones? At least the majority's approach is shrouded a respectful silence appropriate to the Cthulhu Cult.

Mmmm. Remembering those 6AM practices in MN before school, then more practice after. Never saw the sun in the winter.

I do wish the increase in farce were accompanied by a decrease in tragedy.

Me: "Thanks, but I'm really not interested."
FPCSG: "Is it a cost thing?"
Me: "No, I just don't want to kill bugs & spiders in the yard."
FPCSG: "Is it an eco thing? Our stuff is mammal-safe."
Me: "Cool. Is it bug-safe? That's what I want."
