Delightful interview with Olivia Falconer Crane, whose namesake has become a staple of our library--and, if you have kids, probably yours, too.

Since someone else posted my ai statement from my syllabus on the thread, sharing myself as well. Need to push back… bsky.app/profile/nsou...

You don't say!

this would fix me

i simply did not have the disney adult antifascist reading list on my late capital declining democracy bingo card and that’s on me

The Disney adults are doing better than the Democratic Party at fighting back.

this would fix me

Getting close to 50k views and I'm wondering is it just everybody is scared to say this and pleased I did? Because if there's so many of us who agree, trust me I'd know if 1k people disagreed with me let alone 50k, why are we letting AI ruin our universities? Together we can turn back the tide.

NEW CLAIRE DENIS!!! 👈 back from space & focusing on colonialism as nature intended 👍

Reading papers is a basic skill (and dare I say duty?) of scientists, and I include medical doctors in that group. Keeping abreast of the literature is a foundational part of our professions. There aren’t good shortcuts. In any case, reading papers regularly is fun. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/09/s...

I'm just out of WTF's.

Every single day of this administration, I have thought of my late professor Joe Nye and his work on soft power. Every single day of this administration, Trump finds a new way to hemorrhage soft power from a country that once had more to spare than any in the world.

Just a quick note to fellow #AcademicSky users that Academia.edu has just updated its ToS in ways that exploit the work and likenesses of scholars registered on the site. I've deleted my profile and begun a migration to hcommons.org. www.academia.edu/terms

The mid-aughts were the salad days for Rutgers football

LOVE this film! High time to discover it or watch anew.

Poster for SHE'S WORKING HER WAY THROUGH COLLEGE (1952) How was this artwork never used in a 1980s punk flyer? I mean, Virgina Mayo's holding up Ronald Reagan's decapitated head for God's sakes.

Happening 👏🏻 today 👏🏻

trying to cut down on doomscrolling and switch to actual books at bedtime, and (somewhat annoyingly) it helps.

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

These guys are unpopular and dumb as rocks, they did not discover a secret 'I win' button at the heart of all politics labeled 'mean tweets' or 'cancel elections.' Keep speaking, keep writing, keep marching, keep voting, force them to show the country what they are.

This is why politicians always want to replace mathematicians with machines. Protect maths people.

Today!

Happening 👏🏻 today 👏🏻

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

I'm sorry, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable permission to my voice and likeness? For what now? In any manner for any purpose??? This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

RIP to one of the all-time greats, one of a select elite of actors to star in a film that boasts a single acting credit. We talked about All is Lost in episode 59: BOATS open.spotify.com/episode/1g32...

We are at risk of losing a generation of researchers. It’s worse than the 1980s. I’d say: only do a PhD for its own sake. The work you do s as an ECR is itself important work. But this period of contractions is going to be incredibly hard for all career stages, & impossible for ECRs.

the highest Altmetric score on your CV is now the Redford score, sorry I don't make the rules

Robert Redford talking about how the Algerian War led him to interrogate his own understanding of the United States of America.

I'd just highlight again that this is precisely how Erdogan did it in Turkey.

There's still time to sign up for the 5th To Be Continued... online conference, which launches this Thursday 18 September! Join us to talk about David Lynch, copyright, franchises, and legacies with a stellar group of scholars!

The response to Kirk’s death has neatly folded into the broader fascist purge of journalist, educators and artists.

incredible things are happening in the humanities, get 👏 on 👏 board 👏

Contributing to anti-doomscrolling with Max Linder, the sparkling French comedian who inspired Chaplin and is the earliest known movie star with his name on a poster (circa 1909).

timing 🤌🏻

There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

New episode! With less than a week until classes begin, in our "Syllabus Special"Wickham and Colleen talk about why they teach the films they do & share two very different, highly teachable recommendations: MOONLIGHT (2016) and ONE HOUR PHOTO (2002) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/y...

Could hardly have happened to a more despicable person, even if it shouldn't happen ever at all.
