A whole page of my PhD bibliography is just his papers and books. The Bourdieu one, the spectral objects one, all pearls.

There are many better stories of his generosity, but when Jonathan Sterne sought me out to DM me about an article I wrote, I felt a pride I’d never felt in my writing before. Then he emailed asking me to turn it into a book. An incredible mind and a beautiful soul. RIP to a genuine academic hero.

Earlier today, a group of students received word that Jonathan Sterne entered hospice care yesterday following his ongoing battle with cancer. I think there's a few of his colleagues and former students that follow me on here (he's also currently my phd advisor), more info will be coming soon

Almost all music I heard this year was pleasant and palliativeβ€”my AOTY picks are the only ones that got me thinking about the future (no order)

For years, the public has called them "fake artists." But internally at Spotify, the program has a name: Perfect Fit Content. My investigation, and the first look into my book Mood Machine, is the January cover at @harpers.bsky.social. Online now & on newsstands next week
