I know the data is mixed, but: one of the best pieces of evidence for "phones bad, computer bad"

The NYT running a positive review for Theo Baker's book *and* giving him an opinion slot about "what A.I. did to my college class" is probably not the worst thing it's done this week. But it is really,

We've decided to extend the proposal deadline for this fall's Midwest Popular Culture Association conference to *next Monday*. More time for those of you who were bogged down in grading last week! www.mpcaaca.org/submit-panels

post one of these every hour, please

One week left to submit! Join us in glorious Indiana this fall.

Pleased to share this new article on Meet Cute, a rom-com podcast company that has tried to build a multi-platform community around genre appreciation. I listened to several pods but also examined the company's experiments with social, newsletters, digital events, and its own award show.

An all-time performance from the faculty listserv in the last 20 hours. Thank you, Instructure.

come on, man

There are still a few weeks to submit to the annual Midwest Popular Culture Association conference. We'd love to see you in Indiana this October! www.mpcaaca.org/2026-mpca-ac...

I haven't shared as many of this season's episodes, but our latest NEWS OVER NOISE with @bzelizer.bsky.social covering her book HOW THE COLD WAR BROKE THE NEWS is a S4 standout: news-over-noise.simplecast.com/episodes/gho...

Workshopping my "what I've learned from six months of hosting bar trivia" post for LinkedIn

This motherfucker couldn't imagine anything under 2 hours and 20 minutes, though

Setting aside the unbalanced game impacts, it's still wild to see #Survivor repeatedly reference the late show and the host of one of its competitor networks. No brand loyalty!

when i sit my ass down and listen for once

making memories with my favorite company #wrestlemania

Only WWE would start its biggest show of the year talking about how much everyone hates the product #wrestlemania

just dabbing on us

Pretty cool they gave Ted McGinley a Guggenheim for Shrinking

Hi #pca2026 folks! We'd love to have you join us this October in Indiana for the latest Midwest PCA conference. www.mpcaaca.org/2026-mpca-ac...

I accept and even embrace the intrusion of influencers in places formerly occupied by journalists. But I *hate* this MFer

the cruelty is the point

You can have access to the Oscar nominees or X.com, but not both.

TIAA, thank you

"Technically, the attackers are affected by the attacks!"

I'm just going to bravely state it: We've already overcooked the meaning of "slop" by injecting it into every goddamn possible sentence.

Fresh ep of NEWS OVER NOISE is live. We talk to @juddlegum.bsky.social about the rise of Kalshi and Polymarket and their influence of news coverage.

The Pitt is good, and I'm glad it ends every episode with Noah Wyle looking directly into the camera to remind me I'm a good guy

woke is back

Dying that the four coaches are three Antetokounmpo brothers...and Mookie Betts.

Happy to see this article on virtual watch parties for films that were *in theaters* when COVID hit finally see the light of day in New Review of Film and TV Studies.

I use the National Film Registry a lot in my lower-division film courses. Fun to see them embrace video a bit more. Today's (shutdown-delayed) announcement of the 2025 honorees is great: www.loc.gov/item/video-1...

Every company wants to be the same fucking thing

Having to take out a second mortgage thanks to @homefield.bsky.social

Consistently surprised to see people who claim (and definitely do) support journalism and criticism get so mad about $5-10 paywalls.

Reading articles on the World Wide Web is better than ever

Some good news: NEWS OVER NOISE is back for a fourth season! The first episode is a roundtable discussion with great media literacy educators about (ugh) generative AI: newsliteracy.psu.edu/podcasts/bes...
