Nice review of www.bloomsbury.com/flann-obrien... from @bloomsburylit.bsky.social in Estudios Irlandeses: 'Harris has written a book that both counts as a celebration of O’Nolan’s work and argues for his position in a canon of anti-authoritarian aesthetics and politics.'

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Has been happening so much of late. Be aware... www.thebookseller.com/news/soa-and...

Can't wait to see this book out. Also looking forward to @veronicaheney.bsky.social own book, which will be up on the website soon!

Hi all. Scammers have recently contacted academics, authors and agents, impersonating me & other Bloomsbury editors. If you receive an email from me from anything other than [email protected] pls disregard. Feels curiously invasive and not great. More info: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/connect/c...

Zuckerberg and his ilk really are sociopathic, empathyless wealth generators. I hope that, despite all the power and money, they go to bed each night feeling deeply empty and truly unhappy.

I do wish it was better understood by now—especially by folks in the media—that these "warnings" from large AI corporations in fact function as "advertisements" www.axios.com/2025/04/22/a...

Regular man of the people, isn't he? Which of us HASN'T been gifted £5m by crypto billionaire friends, after all?! Probably just beer money for a salt of the earth type like our Nige! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I don't see this said enough: the widespread use of generative AI is not only making our jobs as educators harder logistically, but also emotionally. It is genuinely sad to be suspicious of students when you have spent so much time building a pedagogy based on trust and not being a cop. It sucks.

Wrote about @samcohen.bsky.social’s book banning volume for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social. The volume invites us to consider why books matter—and it shows the many ways they’re under attack, even here in progressive NYC. lareviewofbooks.org/article/bann...

The folks at @standard.co.uk.web.brid.gy asked me to report from the floor of #MWC26. There were foldable phones, massive stands, and a hell of a lot of humanoids. Read my take here www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/mo...

Vonnegut wrote Slaughterhouse Five to come to grips with the horrors he witnessed before and after the bombing of Dresden. And the big through line is those in favor of war have never experienced the cruelty, dehumanization or casual brutality of it. This mfer wouldn’t last a minute.
