Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The last two weeks have incredibly confluent for thinking about responsible and resistive approaches to AI in the Creative Writing space. I'm so grateful for my colleagues who are thinking critically along with me and for the literary/scholarly organizations we get to partner with! 1/6

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

idk if anyone's teaching Borges but I Distant (Claude) Coded a matching game for the Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge's taxonomy! (Bigger screen better) lmk how it makes you feel — I still haven't gotten it perfect pdedgar1.github.io/borges-taxon...

They asked me about spark notes. I proceed to go off on learning theory and cognition.

If you know someone who would be interested in Re•mediate and hearing about what we're up to, but is disengaged from social media, I hope you'll send them this link to our new monthly newsletter (first drop this Friday!) — We'll keep you up to date on our calls, events, features, and contributors<3

Launched a monthly newsletter starting Aug 15! Follow us at remediatelitmag.substack.com

Yes! Humanities majors get jobs! Which is quite separate from humanities *departments* getting funding. We're under-funded for ideological reasons, alongside mistaken cultural assumptions about employability. But our majors get jobs! At a high rate! History is a *good* major, so is Classics!

Nam June Paik Reference >>> as an in-the-wild-glitch collector I'm really loving these and gift a malfunctioning-display-at-a-farmers-market-in-tuscaloosa

reading through the other pieces in the collection and loving this

Screaming!!! Thank you so much @thearsonista.bsky.social & John for including me, and @leeches.bsky.social for the heads up to submit!!

is it fair to suggest that LLMs depend on a Whole Language/Word approach to text, rather than a Phonics approach? Question prompted by my chat with @parrishka.bsky.social about LLMs' failure with syllabics/lipograms… What would change if calculations were made on smaller units than that of the word?

there's only a week left to submit to re•mediate— we're still taking XR, AR, VR, MR, and invite reviews of those works as well as creative writing that fits our theme of [Next Realities]!!

Evaluate the truism arrayed here: "Attention overcomes republics; Depression decorates ratios."

As there's only one month left to submit, time to reintroduce the co-editorial staff reading for this issue! Founding Editor @pdedgar30.bsky.social and Guest Editor @digitalpoetics.bsky.social are excited to read your [Next Realities] work.

It’s here!!!! Ordered just before the parking garage fire at U.Tampa right after @loriemerson.net ‘s talk!

I know that media use the term "big beautiful bill" in quotes but it's unfortunate that this many years into covering this president we are still suckered into leading with his language and framing when covering such consequential stories

"I despise any language that argues something is inevitable. It strips the public of its agency—it attempts to whittle away our ability to self-determine, to say what happens and ought to happen in our communities, our schools, and our lives."

Tonight Danny Snelson told me about his forthcoming book, The Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats — and I am so incredibly stoked for this 💥

Suggestion: stop talking about AI as “hype,” start talking about AI as a (very real) political and ideological instrument.

What's a line delivery you think about a lot?

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

always a good day for Muriel Rukeyser, top of my list for summer 'break' reading www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47657/...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Really grateful for the opportunity to present my reading and a stab at what will become an article on these many collections at @pcaaca.bsky.social ! The poetry track is incredibly generous and it’s fun to be here with @helloemi.bsky.social, @jmlwhittington.com & other @ucftandt.bsky.social folks!

14th Amendment FTW. Worth fighting for.

It's #NationalPoetryMonth -- here's bpnichol's poem THE COMPLETE WORKS

You can also see (and build upon!) our critical making course materials, including the full syllabi and example exercises, in our repository at: anastasiasalter.net/CritMakingAg... #dhmakes

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Seriously geeking out (a special treat for when I’m done with my final projects) @mmvty.bsky.social

Thank you @passagesnorth.bsky.social for publishing my silly little flash piece, “Prayer in Which Everything Happens,” in your latest issue!! You can grab the issue at this link: passagesnorth.com/issue… & read my piece here :-)

THIS NIGHTMARE WILL BE IN FULL COLOR

Thrilled to share that @maxy.bsky.social's "Century-Scale Storage" was nominated for a Webby Award! You can vote in the "Best Individual Editorial Feature" category here: vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting...

All this talk around the unconstitutionality of a third term according to the constitution ignores that one very specific method that could allow a third term is (drumroll please) a change to the constitution. which the constitution does provide for. I don’t hope for it but it’s possible:
