- Reposted by Daniel KosticOUT NOW! Our findings on institutional discrimination of people from the east of Europe in German jobcentres (in German) - with @hcpetersen.bsky.social, @japvie81.bsky.social & Jure Leko, funded by @beauftragte.bsky.social: www.antidiskriminierungsstelle.de/SharedDocs/a...
- People from Eastern Europe often experience discrimination in job centres in Germany. "According to a study (by @aleksandralewicki.bsky.social and colleagues), Ukrainian refugees are accused of social tourism in job centres. As a result, they are prematurely pushed into low-wage jobs."
- "Menschen aus Osteuropa erleben in Jobcentern häufig Diskriminierung" @zeit.de berichtet exklusiv über unsere neue von der @beauftragte.bsky.social geförderte Studie. Danke für die Zusammenarbeit @hcpetersen.bsky.social @japvie81.bsky.social und Jure Leko) : www.zeit.de/arbeit/2025-...
- Reposted by Daniel KosticFor more than 2 years, police in Berlin - encouraged by city and national politicians - have systematically used excessive violence in an attempt to beat the Palestine solidarity movement into silence. I wrote about this phenomenon for the @lrb.co.uk

- New book by @kenaizawa.bsky.social! Download a free copy! Very much looking forward to reading it!
- Well, obviously it’s gotta be great for projects, the Pergantism is in the title.
- Reposted by Daniel KosticA new special issue of Philosophical Transactions B takes on one of science’s biggest questions: how life begins. Rather than retracing Earth’s history, the authors look for the universal conditions that could make life possible anywhere, approaching the question from many fields and angles.
- What a magnificent scene, indeed! I was already a huge fan of Fontaines D.C., CMAT, and Lankum, but discovering this treasure trove of new bands just made my day. I’m diving headfirst into the discographies of the new favs: Problem Patterns, Sprints, Bicep, Gilla Band, and For Those I Love.

- Having lived in Germany during my PhD, I find it really difficult to disagree with Weiwei’s eloquent assessment. It’s hilariously on brand that they cancelled his piece. Still, there are many redeeming things about Berlin, even about its bureaucracy. hyperallergic.com/1050197/what...

- Couldn't agree more. Student evals never helped me teach better. What did help: reading + sharing with colleagues. In NL, evals even ask things unrelated to my teaching: 'Differences between students w/ respect to language proficiency don’t affect the quality of teaching in this course negatively?'

- The philosophical point was never that we don't have the same sensory experience, but that we could have different qualia from it. Philosophers argued, via modal epistemology that qualia can't be explained physically, hence the hard problem of consciousness. #hardproblem @davidchalmers.bsky.social
