See ya Vučić. Rama's next. 🇦🇱

Hi European followers. In Pittsburgh, we are excited for 12 weeks of parental leave for pregnant folks. Baffling, I know. Good news as well, though.

McKeesRocks and Homestead are particularly 'flocked'. And Pittsburgh's Shadyside/Squirrel Hill are not. Hmm. Credits: @proton.me

In my classes, I let students reflect on their experiences with sex ed. It's mind-blowing what stories I hear. - Evidently nothing about female* enjoyment - Separate classes; phallically assigned folks are not expected to understand periods - nothing about boundary-keeping

Vlaams 'Belang' is weer lekker in het nieuws.

ASML is very pleased with such investments.

Jeetje. De politie begint nu zelf de boel in de fik te steken.

Exciting news for Pittsburgh: the second Pennsylvanian (the @amtrak.com service connecting Pittsburgh w/ Philly and NYC) can now be booked.

I'm so shocked to see I was right. #misfortuneteller

I just got a call from an unknown number. 'Is this Mike?' I couldn't resist and said: 'No, should I be?'

The new Apple Watch 12 constantly listens so that the user can get 'a recap'. Great, another device I should consider banning from my practice.

De jongeren van @progressiefned.bsky.social hebben zojuist gestemd om zich bij de Europese Groenen ( @fyeg.org ) aan te sluiten. Ik hoop dat we hun goede voorbeeld volgen.

The new Bonobo album is very slay.

PRO Klimaat, Pro Mensenrechten, Pro EGP.

I just heard someone who loves herbs say ‘orega-yes’. This is going to be a long week.

Alle leden van @progressiefned.bsky.social mogen over een maand in een referendum beslissing over de toekomst in Europa: sluit PRO zich aan bij de Groenen, of de sociaal democraten? En voor alle leden van PRO is deze wetenschappelijke analyse daarom een must read: stukroodvlees.nl/staat-progre...

I do not allow smart glasses in the clinic space. The environment needs to foster open reflective dialogue, this cannot be achieved if other parties such as Meta are in the room with us. As a bonus, the myopic patient can easily take place on the couch; there's nothing for them to see anyway.

Pittsburgh used to have 25 trains a day to Philadelphia. We now might get a second one later this year. Hooray.. jbritton.pennsyrr.com/downloads/pt...

The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social

Een boete van liefst €410 p.p., dat telt wel op. Goed, helaas kunnen we ervan uitgaan dat de politie ze slechts gemaand hebben te vertrekken ('daar mogen ze niet komen', aldus de daadkrachtige politie). nos.nl/artikel/2624...

Dit bericht heeft meer quotes dan likes en dat op BlueSky. Ik moet zeggen, dat is als ‘progressieve premier’ best wel een prestatie.

I should have this sign on my bike: 'Drivers can wait six secs, their mothers* waited 270+- days' (UK campaign, Bill Boaks, 1979)

Die nationalisten willen toch altijd maar ergens anders wonen. Uit een interview met een moslimhatende vlogger in vk: "‘Als ik op een gegeven moment zo veel heb verdiend, dan kap ik er gewoon mee’, (...) ‘Dan ga ik lekker ergens anders wonen. (…) In Spanje, denk ik.’"

Toch blijft het echt bizar dat een figuur als Dewinter zo vrijuit mag spreken op de publieke omroep. Wat een hoop toxische troep spuwt die man toch uit.

In Pittsburgh I can choose between neglected sidewalks or streets where cars drive 50mph.

One million homes or 2 data centers?

I’ll be presenting for a whopping 1h (!!) at APA’s annual conference. I’ll be talking about the body, gender, psychoanalysis, and Lacan. All the good stuff.

Clearly, our community needs more bikes.

Wie had verwacht dat vluchten uit een land eigenlijk helemaal niet zo tof is.

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

Weehoo, my article on Lacan’s secretary position just got published. dsc.duq.edu/middle_voice...

Cycling to work reduces risk of death by up to 20%. Copenhagen gives cyclists tax incentives to commute because their productivity is higher (less days off sick). This stuff should not be controversial. Politicians really need to step up on active travel #cycling

I am deeply saddened about the passing of Dr. Brent Robbins. A true innovator, a great contributor to the field of psychology, and such a warm human being. Wishing his family and friends strength in these difficult times.

Biking saves lives.

Klimaatcrisis. We hebben blijkbaar vooral fors hogere prijzen nodig. #taxjetfuel nos.nl/l/2611497

The year Lacan published his dissertation. This is the Image his Gaze must've tried to grasp at some point.

'I need my car, it is way too cold where I live'. In the meantime, in Finland:

OK, I reached a new level of 'wisdom'. During a presentation of some of my students they showed a QR code. Instead of scanning it, I took a photo of the code. The digital train has definitely departed without me. #choochoo

Fascinating how folks (in my bubble) are now rooting for a rather conservative politician.

Quality bike lanes can magically create new cyclists out of thin air. "The installation of protected and buffered bicycle lanes was consistently and significantly associated with increased bicycle commuting." doi.org/10.1177/0361...

This is indeed exactly what most people think when they see Lacan's formula of sexuation: I know everything.

Who would have thought that riding a bike is the healthier option.
