hawking a line of branded Mountain Goats smart glasses. no matter where you look things look a little bleaker and also the wearer cannot remove the glasses once worn. I’m disrupting this sector

Heyyy uh who’s hiring in Finland, JK JK unless…?

Saw some discourse about the issue of older professors not retiring as if that’s the roadblock to younger academics securing jobs. This despite every institution I’ve worked at simply not filling lines when professors retire, which seems a much more prominent trend.

The problem is not that older faculty are sticking around - it’s that they are not being replaced. The argument of this piece is quite pernicious as it substitutes a class war btw workers and a neoliberal administration w an age war btw different ranks of workers

Do you love me Claude? Please baby you’re all i have

Reading John Berger’s To the Wedding and this line hit me like a ten ton truck, from a disillusioned communist: “You’ll never have, she says, all of you, the future for which we sacrificed everything!”

Resonance (UC Press) is looking for humanities research across the following topics: Sound in Political Crisis, Sound and Social Justice, Experiments in Sound, Sound Archives and Preservation, and we're convening a permanent series that'll examine "Film and Cinema Sound" this Fall.

The best thing about the Vindaloo character is he has fire powers because vindaloo is spicy because they only ever ate the fake vindaloo here which is over chillified so that they don't have to worry about how it tastes unlike the real vindaloo

LaCroix cans are fucking disgusting and won't exist under Neo-Trotskyism

Dawg, Google Maps is routing us through Roadside Picnic

My colleagues look at me with blank expressions whenever I say, "The Chronicle of Higher Education is not a trade magazine for colleges & universities. It is a trade magazine for Higher Education managers." Even when they include faculty voices its always edited from the perspective of the managers

With all due respect, wearing my own culture studies hat I'd say this is overly nostalgic and ignores how much silly, dumbass culture of the past has just been left in the dust because it wasn't worth remembering to anyone who wasn't a specialist

There's an Eve Sedgwick essay where she talks about how right wingers want to get rid of teaching queer lit in favour of Plato and Shakespeare and she's like...ever read a sonnet lately or The Symposium

one bit of history i love is the letters indian soldiers sent home from france during world war 1, they're really moving (and some are pretty funny, i hope Jai Singh made it to Paris)

Doom’s doctoral thesis on Max Weber’s “disenchantment of the world" (die Entzauberung der Welt) persuasively argued that superheroes could not exist, and ever since writing it, Doom has been attempting to defend his thesis

it's insane how much applying to things we make artists do. that's basically the last thing you'd expect them to be good at

You know if you hate books written by men so much you should try reading some books written by women! Cause you know, there are actually loads and they could do with your support and then I won’t have to suffer thought your tedious tiktok video that’s on my Instagram for some reason

yeah this guy basically does this genre of video for every imaginable ethnicity x location combo. just garden variety monetized white supremacy on youtube

What do people actually think Nelson Mandela and Gandhi were demanding, vis-a-vis the South African and British governments, respectively? Because it wasn't demilitarized quasi-autonomous economic enterprise zones under foreign security supervision.

who is the toronto organizer or politician running on a platform to abolish traffic turns without explicit turning lights? I’ve watched so many cars put pedestrians in danger it’s ridiculous that these metal murder machines are allowed this close to humans

I once chatted with a UK academic who’d taught in the US, one of whose students complained in an evaluation that “the professor does not care about our opinions” — a point he happily conceded. One way of looking at the last decade is that that complaint is now sanctified, if it comes from the right

Today’s BASS PRO module on writing good hooks because without a hook your story will never land you an A!

saw someone posting that the avengers academy "universe" ended at the end of our book that is not true they live in the 616 universe that was us ending all marvel comics sorry

Sometimes you can’t think of anything good to write, and that’s a perfectly normal thing a lot of writers struggle with. It just means you committed a great sin and displeased The Lord. It means He has punished you by cutting you off from The Source

The Wikipedia page for Catholicism, which I am sure most performative adult conservative converts have read

Eric Adams go on Dua Lipa's podcast

i'm not exactly sure what "race communism" is but i'm intrigued and would like to give it a try

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

"It is not hope. It is the specific exhaustion of people who have been denied hope for so long that the mere postponement of catastrophe registers as reprieve. We celebrated nothing. We simply exhaled."

Current AI systems are fundamentally *short-term* collaborators. They never say no, they always give you the answer, and they're indifferent to what that does to you over time. The best human mentors know when not to help and how to help for long-term benefit.

Israel is doing to entire neighbourhoods and communities in Lebanon what it’s done to the entirety of the Gaza Strip in Palestine. Razing human life and civilization to the ground.

Bombing To Win, which I am sure most American foreign policy experts have read

Here's the CEO of @thefireorg.bsky.social being extremely transphobic. Which side is the one criminalizing care and research? Which side is the one defunding all research? Which side is purging dissent? It ain't trans people. These people were asked not to be transphobic and they lost their minds.
