Jungen Menschen mit Genderdysphorie geht es nach der Therapie nicht besser – womöglich weil ihre psychischen Probleme damit nicht gelöst sind. https://t.co/nYIhVP5pDh

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

That looks like a contradictio in terminis to me. 😄

@Telegraph Clever ploy from Hillard - this announcement is a recruitment drive to get all the rascals to join Deloitte. 🤣

The first lecture in my series on Sex, Gender Identity and the Law is now published. I discuss how sex changed in law and touch on topics such as biological sex, the legal sex of those with DSDs, sex discrimination, and the Supreme Court decision in For Women Scotland:

News channel reporting about a philosophy conference and interviewing a philosopher - in France, no problem. In Britain? Unthinkable! 😁

If you are a University lecturer and supervisor of Master’s students, by all means encourage students to learn how to write scientific journal articles but please stop encouraging them to submit such exercises to actual journals because you think it would be a good learning exercise for them. 🛑 ✋🏽 Many/most editors and reviewers provide their time voluntarily as part of their sense of duty to science. It is the job of the paid University supervisor to check the students’ work.
What puzzles me is why a senior University academic would allow their name to be on some of the many manuscript submissions I have reviewed. Did they even read it? Every author must sign that they have read and approved of the final manuscript, so what’s going on?

"Do haut's di niada!", wie der Bayer sagt. Mich hat es gerade niedergehauen, als ich einen Artikel aus der ZEIT gelesen habe, den mir der Chefredakteur, Jochen Wegener @Jochen , per Email angepriesen hatte. Da werden zwei Nebensätze - hintereinander - durch Punkt abgetrennt (also völlig losgelöst vom entsprechenden Hauptsatz). Die Übeltäter sind zwei (!) Autoren. Sie behandeln die Nebensätze als seinen das selbst Hauptsätze:

"Und im Übrigen auch nicht in einen Überbietungswettkampf dazu, wer die dunklere Zukunft malen kann. Sondern vielleicht eher: wer eine Idee davon hat, wie wieder Zutrauen aufkommt in diesem Land."

Was sagt man dazu? Die Deutschlehrer springen vom 10-Meterbrett.
