teachers! excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone. take a look, share, + most importantly: CONTRIBUTE against-a-i.com

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

I'M GONNA KEEP ON DANCIN AT THE

Bay Area folks: I'll be having an open-ended public conversation with the art historian Alex Nemerov about the powers of unknowing, today at 430pm. Neither of us has any idea about what's going to transpire, so it should be interesting at least events.stanford.edu/event/the-ri...

Pvd friends, I’ll be at Riffraff tonight to read and talk with the great Francesca Mari—come through!

"There's value to institutional neutrality under two conditions: critics remain free to speak their minds...and universities remain free to defend their core mission. After all, they can hardly be neutral about their own existence." Column in The Guardian:

Very grateful for this beautiful, thoughtful review of The Right to Oblivion at @thenation.com. It's especially pleasing to see the book put into conversation with great Bernadette Mayer www.thenation.com/article/cult...

DC area friends and enemies: I'll be in town, talking with Antón Barba-Kay, on Feb 20. Come say hello. Also check out Antón's terrific book, if you haven't already

Today's the day! I poured everything I've got into this book, and now, eight years after I started working on it, it is officially published! I'm so grateful for everyone who helped make this book a reality - and to all of my readers for their support.

insanely pleasing to have my book appear in this murderer’s row of a year in reading

woohoo! Finally someone other than my mom says it The Right to Oblivion one of The New Yorker's best books of 2024

Starting soon: The PEASoup Blog Discussion on Lowry Pressly’s free article in ETHICS, The Right to Be Forgotten and the Value of an Open Future (doi.org/10.1086/731431). With a critical precis by Wendy Salkin (peasoupblog.com/2024/11/anno...). #philsky #PolTheory #legalphil #moralphil

Come for @wendysalkin.bsky.social’s superb précis, stay to say what you really think of me in a medium where I may or may not have a right for that to be forgotten (you decide!)

great piece on the coming abandonment of our parents (and ourselves) in the @bostonreview.bsky.social

Boston-area folks: I'll be at the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge tomorrow evening to discuss my new book with Michael Sandel (7-8pm). It would be great to see you if you're around and free! www.harvard.com/event/lowry-...
