Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I endorse this candidate.

We go to this show every NYE. It’s excellent.

IT’S HERE! Special delivery today from @princetonupress.bsky.social - there’s really nothing like holding it for the first time. 🥂

“Sentimental Value” is SO GOOD.

“Over the past decade, while the United States ramped up fossil fuel exports, China has focused on dominating renewables. Today, Chinese companies make so many of the world’s solar panels, electric vehicles and batteries that they are slashing prices and scrambling to find buyers.” Gift link:

Baie geluk, @ellekeboehmer.bsky.social!

Both editors finally in one frame! Congratulations to us. 😅

Another banger ELH! Happy holidays!

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

Feels like a good, completely random time to re-share these. 30% off my new book, pre-orders of which I’m told will ship soon!

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

Nice to log on here and happen upon this review of a volume I contributed to a couple of years ago.

Read this fascinating @chronicle.com piece by @jmja.bsky.social, author of The Letter of the Law in J. E. Casely Hayford's West Africa:

Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

I am also pretty chuffed about my new book banner! @princetonupress.bsky.social sure does know how to make an author feel fancy. 😅

It is odd to me that, like, you'd think it'd be parody if you said: to be clear, they only like the bad bits of Western Civilisation -- but that turns out to be true. They like the rapacious imperial murder, but not the art or intellectual achievements or civil liberties, etc.

I'm in the Chronicle Review today on intellectual pluralism and civic education, by (unlikely) way of my current book subject J.E. Casely Hayford. Neither pro nor con, but a secret third thing! www.chronicle.com/article/view...

One of the few things I'm certain of about yesterday. History is not mechanistic. Weird openings matter immensely.

Reading!

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Mamdani's victory wasn't only a repudiation of an old and exhausted political establishment in the city, it was also a triumph over the framing power of the political press, and none more so than the New York Times, whose coverage and editorials worked relentlessly to dampen his appeal.

The Alexander Grass Humanities Institute has partnered with nonprofit publisher Deep Vellum to publish one new work of literary translation each year. This collaboration also includes a translator residency, campus events, and graduate student workshops. magazine.krieger.jhu.edu/2025/10/deep...

Excited to keynote at Duke next month! With some of my favorite field colleagues.

Across the city, more than 164,000 New Yorkers flocked to the polls this weekend for the first two days of early voting, according to the Board of Election, a staggering turnout that nearly matches the entire early voting count in 2021.
