If you're in the Milwaukee area, like cats and kittens, and are interested in playing board games, we've got Game Night coming up tomorrow night 6-8 PM at Almost Home Cat Rescue. I'll be there helping out (and maybe getting in some play) this time around!

Here's another Speculative Fiction Studies video on one of Jorge Luis Borges' short stories, this one on The Shape Of The Sword, which hearkens back to his early Universal History of Iniquity. This one centers on a coward and traitor, John Vincent Moon youtu.be/asy6kUuNC4M

Busy night tonight at Almost Home Cat Rescue. Two adoptions and lots of visitors. A few pictures of the cats and kittens!

I remember reading and enjoying these stories about massive cybernetic tanks as a teenager. Thought about revisiting them in my Worlds of Speculative Fiction series, and then went looking for them at the library. A few Laumer books in Milwaukee system. No Bolo (or Retief) books

One of my favorite pictures of me and the late great Sassy cat from 4 years back, taken on the deck of the place we used to live. She loved hanging out in the sun, sniffing the air, rambling around, and watching the seagulls fly around overhead

Here's another video on one of Jorge Luis Borges' stories, Death and the Compass, which presents an interesting spin on the traditional detective story. Last video I'll be producing on Borges's works for a while. Got a lot of core concept videos to shoot! youtu.be/Xe0KI3f8x4w

Counterpoint: He got doxed at the start of this. Nobody else who is commenting on this is "doxing" the cheater CEO, and it's silly to read into people talking about that they are. And while the point about random people is a good one, it's irrelevant to this particular discourse

... any Wisconsin CEO's going to see Coldplay in Madison this weekend?

Clever quips can be hilarious or even brilliant the first few times someone says or hears/reads them. By the hundredth time around, they tend to have gone stale. . . .

Got more work to do, and was feeling unmotivated, so I thought I’d take a walk south and east of the office. Back now and still not particularly motivated, but I did see some cool sights on the way

If you're not making or maintaining progress in your moral life, Plutarch says, you're sliding back. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode about his work On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue! soundcloud.com/gregorybsadler…

I did not have lots of gullible people treating ChatGPT as if it's actually sentient and well-informed, spending way too much time farting around with it, and slipping into various forms of mental illness on my 2025 bingo card. But apparently it's a thing futurism.com/openai-investo…

Cool memory (at least to me) from a number of years back. That was the first of several times I was invited to speak at one of the international Stoicon conferences. I provided a 90-minute workshop on Stoicism and anger, which you can watch here youtu.be/YoVXyj0Mb6w

Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE is a great organization! We've adopted around 520 cats and kittens at this point to their forever homes. We're looking for some good people to step up and take on three important roles! almosthomemke.com/volunteer

Here's the first part of the transcript of my talk "Philosophical Resources For Understanding And Managing Anger" given at the the American Philosophical Practitioners Association 2023 annual meeting. Had to break it up into two halves, due to its length! gregorybsadler.substack.com/p/philosophica…

Here's the videorecording from my recent guest appearance on Conversations With Modern Stoicism, where I came on to discuss the topic of Stoicism and grief youtu.be/tOk6xVGkr5s

It's all too easy to make excuses for seemingly minor moral failings. In Plutarch's work On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue, he discusses why that's not a good idea. Here's a Sadler's Lectures discussing in depth that portion of his text! soundcloud.com/gregorybsadler…

It’s a two tier system

Here is the first short video in a series I've decided to start producing specifically focused on the centrality of virtue in Stoic philosophy, the four cardinal virtues they recognize, and the breakdown of those four into a number of subordinate virtues! youtube.com/shorts/cSSPJ2e…
