The question on everyone's mind

I'm reading about land reform this morning and the major players are George Henry Evans, Frederick Evans, and Henry George

The nice things about books: once you own them, you own them, forever. No one will be eye tracking your reading habits. No one will make money of you reading the book as many times as you'd like.

It’s amazing how little of this is actually AI. Even in a corny fantasy joke, it’s impossible to make the case that AI is a useful tool for political organizing, writing, or human collaboration.

I would have finished my book by now if my desk were not facing a window that overlooks a chain link fence on which anoles run free

My kingdom for a NYT op ed full of writers like Jamelle Bouie

I tried to add Len Chandler's "Move on Over" to my Instagram post today and it wouldn't let me, so why don't you listen to it here?

Following in ousted footsteps

I’ve been teaching college courses since Fall 1999 — at a community college, an art school, and two research universities in three different states — and I’ve never once heard this expressed by anyone, anywhere, at any level in higher ed. This is bullshit of the highest order.

Here is a photo I saw in the archives today of some women kissing each other on the mouth

I think the thing I like the most about Claire Valdez is that she not only takes bold stands in support of trans people, but that when people on the right try to use those positions to attack her, she's just like, "yes, that is correct."

What if academic publishers ran a promo in which submissions were exempt from answering the "so what" question

I’m teaching an American novel class this fall for the first time ever. I am leaning towards a theme of impostors and fugitives and I welcome your thoughts on novels that might fit that bill.

People who should absolutely know 100% better are getting real fast and loose with sharing and promoting AI generated garbage images when it's time to make a little jokey joke about the reflecting pool or Trump's appearance and I need y'all to lock the hell in.

Like check this out. Who is supposed to be checking for plagiarism here? Read literally, the idea is that someone will have accidentally plagiarized and somehow find out by using the website. C'mon now! That's not even slick!

Anyone who successfully publishes an academic monograph while teaching at least a 4-4 deserves a $100,000 cash prize

Tonight I was at a dive bar and a young person came up to me and was like "Are you a teacher?" and then "It's nice to see a professor out in the wild!"

This is how I feel about the Love Island prediction market

Really into Neil Young's electronic phase

The worst scandal in American history before Watergate, which happened over 100 years ago & is still taught in AP government classes, lead to a cabinet member's resignation & conviction, and caused Congress to pass new disclosure laws, involved less than 1/5 this much money. Inflation adjusted.

Say, why are no university library websites working for me in any browser

Alabama women have to take a monthly pregnancy test to get a cannabis rx filled. Where it begins is never where it ends www.al.com/news/2026/06...

What's a good essay I can share with grad students that provides a broad introduction to academic labor/how higher ed functions today?

BEFORE AND AFTER. Barcelona transformed this car sewer in a declining industrial zone into a lush shared street, ready to welcome a new century of industry.

Ngl, the tent you keep talking about fucking sucks

Is it good when you're at the airport and they tell you to "put your patience hat on"
