I hate to be the bearer of bad/good news (depending on your persuasion), but I don't really think the DSA is about to take over the Democratic Party. I will keep trying, however

As I start (and keep putting off) my reading for comprehensive exams—about 100 major works of political theory, books and articles both—it strikes me that there are two obvious differences between what I am trying to do and what an LLM does, even if the tasks are superficially similar +

Okay, I've heard from enough people. Here's a mini-CdP (Christine de Pizan) teach-in. Disclaimer: I'm not a specialist in medieval French literature. I did write one essay on CdP, trying to understand why this daughter of a physician talked about ♀️ but never about ♀️'s medicine (specifically, Trota).

Modern trophies descend from the ancient Greek tradition of the "Tropaion," a monument upon which the armor of a vanquished army would be hung upon victory in battle. My point is that the winners of the World Cup should get the jock straps of the runners-up.

Make Danzig or Kaliningrad a free Esperanto-speaking city and hold all the international sporting events there. I am not a crank.

there's a progressive union wildland firefighter running for Congress in Montana, be still my heart

the pipeline from a facile understanding of "what if we afford nonhuman actors agency in sociotechnical systems analysis" to "the computer can think and it's my girlfriend" is such a thing to behold

Also, I mentioned Melinda Cooper’s incredible book Counterrevolution, which you all should check out; it’s now in paperback! press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...

The extensive use of white phosphorus by the Israeli occupation army in Lebanon is widely and deeply documented and it barely evokes a peep out of Europe, which claims to be a bastion and defender of Lebanese sovereignty.
