Trump Is A Racist President

Couldn't have said it better.

PS Does anyone understand how George Conway and What's Her Name are a functional couple? Is one of them just playing us?

New Paper: The Birth of Semantics (with Robert May)

Abstract

We attempt here to trace the evolution of Frege's thought about truth. What most frames the way we approach the problem is a recognition that hardly any of Frege's most familiar claims about truth appear in his earliest work. We argue that Frege's mature views about truth emerge from a fundamental re-thinking of the nature of logic instigated, in large part, with a sustained engagement with the work of George Boole and his followers, after the publication of Begriffsschrift and the appearance of critical reviews by members of the Boolean school.

Essays on Frege's Basic Laws of Arithmetic

I'm not usually that excited to get proofs, but in this case.... I just got the proofs for my contributions to Essays on Frege's Basic Laws of Arithmetic (here) which is being edited by Philip Ebert and Marcus Rossberg, the main translators of said book. It looks absolutely fantastic, with contributions from most all of the people you'd expect. OUP is saying it'll be out at the end of August (at least in the UK). Can't wait!!
