it's a win win win...no brainer. Unfortunately, so many, mostly in the GOP, have self-lobotomized. And suppressed their heart feeling.

The good writing allows us to see what is hidden, but revealed, in all those emails, e.g. "an archipelago of single subscriber Substacks." Definition of insightful, @anandwrites.bsky.social

I was going to say just this. Seconded.

Not to mention unintelligible. That was her challenge. She basically was doing a translation of his aesthetics.

Democracy dies....something something

as an editor of a handbook who once had to write half a chapter when the author was unable to continue (due to health issues), this hit home with me on another level.

My mom wrote her master's thesis in 1976 on Kant's aesthetics. She's 84 now, and I was just reading her thesis out loud to her today, which she took great delight in (even as it is all worlds away).

glad that we got the kkkoast guard back

Cohen was partial soundtrack for my very long road trip yesterday

So...we can take her seat?

Lincoln, show me the spot…

Name a film with a forest:
Snow Falling on Cedars

driving down from sacramento in the 1970s in the family station wagon, descending the tehachapis into the la basin was also letting in an infection that would catch in the throat, and kick off a dialectic of shallow breath and coughing lasting the entire visit with grandparents.

I praised my Harvard colleague for the good work being done this week by Harvard faculty—Vincent Brown, Phil Deloria, and Annette Gordon-Reed, on the American Revolution. Lepore is impressive, if also infuriating. (And Summers can just rot).

Tiya Miles, All that she carried. (maybe not quite what you're asking for, but it's immersive and a page-turner nonetheless, for the beautiful craft throughout).

inspired my first history book.

AIn't gonna lie, I think it's the plagiarism machine.

Or when he's aiming at environmental history, @karl-jacoby.bsky.social

I like him better when he's aiming at Vance rather than the 1619 Project.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

Adam Eve Rothman?

They didn't call it "My own private Idaho" for nothing.

Summers can rot. He also thinks Africa is "underpolluted." People there aren't worth as much, so they should be dumped on. He should be dumped.

Meanwhile, Vincent Brown, Annette Gordon-Reed, and Phil Deloria, Harvard historians, dropping knowledge in The American Revolution. #HATM #KenBurns

What a great and thought-provoking talk! Good to see the News Tribune picking this up, and inspiring more thinking in public. Philosophy is alive and well, and can help us navigate this brave new world.
