I keep snarling at the premise of this (paywalled) piece, which tells scholars to create a "composition log" documenting their writing process, esp re any use of AI tools. The kicker? This author's 1250word essay generated a composition log of 280 PAGES. www.chronicle.com/article/ai-w...

Don't post much here but this story from @barnraiser.bsky.social really got under my skin… Disposing of archival materials, cancelling a self-subsidizing state history journal… I'd be scandalized if it weren't so tragically typical. barnraisingmedia.com/iowa-republi...

Good golly. Finally sat down with Issue #1 of #TheMetrograph (the new print film journal I got as a gift) & find myself strangely/deeply moved by the breadth & range of cinephilia addressed within its literally beautiful pages. @metrographnyc.bsky.social metrograph.com/product/the-...

when movies get deleted for tax reasons, they should legally become public domain. people should be allowed to upload it anywhere they want. that's the tradeoff you make if you wanna delete your own movie released this year for a few extra bucks, and i think it's fair
