THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

Very happy to say this and pardon the language: fuck the #WorldCup

Save us Donna Haraway…

I thought we argued our brains out on this subject during grad school in the 1990s/2000s ….. Hell is repetition

C Wright Mills come back come back

I hope that people are aware that one of the primary political objectives of this ascending right-wing effort to remake higher education through things like the Vanderbilt Report, the Chicago Principles, and the AEI Future of the American University project is to crush the academic labor movement.

The genius of Tyshawn Sorey, and the magnificent musicians on this album channeling the genius of Max Roach. My jazz album of the year so far. tyshawn-sorey.bandcamp.com/album/member...

Joy! PSG forever!

Georg Simmel and Max Weber are still necessary reads

BBC Question Time now doing exact same with AI they did with Farage? This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice. Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And a Tory MP

Another gone to the universe. Goodbye Sonny Rollins

Happy Birthday Marshall Allen, the youngest 102 yr old

Gonna take my students one day to the library and teach them the Dewey decimal system, make them write catalogue cards. Revisit the library looking for the books using the cards.

Extraordinary work. A conversation w/Samar about the book: arablit.org/2026/03/16/s... A review by our Ibtihal Rida Mahmood: arablit.org/2026/03/17/m...

I’m sorry - I’m off Team Olga Tokarczuk. Let her sell her books to tech bros.

Publish me now Granta!

Another reason why I left academic editorship. They don’t pay reviewers while for-profit academic publishers rake in millions on free labour and APCs. Academic publishing is broken.

Post-Doc, Adjunct, Visiting, Assistant, Associate, Tenure.

Apropos hallucinated citations. I left when the publisher decided to eliminate the editorial stage of proofs reading and they limited author proofing rights.

I’m so glad I stepped away from academic journal editing

It’s Friday

And what did you expect Financier person when you dumb it all down to the lowest aggregate.

Bravo. These are the scholars we need now - thank you Prof Derek Peterson

Mick Lynch "Zack Polanski isn't inciting hatred for Jews he believes he is an agent of peace and that Israel is carrying out Mass Murder in Gaza and the West Bank, and I believe that too." When Mick Lynch speaks sense, he speaks sense.

I don’t think it matters anymore to quote The Geneva Conventions- it’s now more like The Geneva Suggestions
