Scott Galloway vs. Heated Rivalry: Who Will Save the Men? Podcast Episode · Diabolical Lies · January 11 · 2h 17m

Amazing convo on the “crisis in masculinity” and Heated Rivalry, highly recommend for the queer romance crowd. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

!!! — that does favor one reading of “Goblin Market.” Still like the queer one better

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.

Welcome To This Class Part 1 Writing & Anger, Spring 2021

"What I remember, and what I believe, is how it feels to be showing up during all of this. The effort involved in being present, bearing witness, and trying, in circumstances in which, as contingent faculty, it so often feels our efforts are never adequate, and we are, all of us, doomed."

Interesting seminar on @annakornbluh.bsky.social's work -- "Les cultures de l'immédiateté"

And want to think through the socialization of this work -- like, how would we watch the libidinal drive across large swatches of digital cultural production

very interesting Ryan -- look forward to hearing more on this.

It's so worth it

Re-sharing this as a reminder of what was lost in DOGE’s wildly careless chatgpt hatchet job.

When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

As someone who watched the careful stewardship of grants over many years, the lack of care and the dismissal of the hard work of scholars and NEH program staff described here is devastating and shameful.

I am pregnant and die in July; in August I will return to orifice

Typo in a student email makes this a great first line for a novel: "I am pregnant and die in July."

Florida’s Board of Governors is made up of “political appointees from the business world, from insurance executives to roofing contractors, who are dictating how professors must teach their courses and even providing state-created textbooks for doing so.”

My new piece in @truthout.bsky.social

good reminder!

They aren’t helpful there sadly, though I’m sure it exists

Do you suggest a better historically-informed synthetic work on the same terrain, for teaching or otherwise? Thanks for this, very helpful

I am always amazed by how many people around me are reading (and teaching!) Caliban and the Witch and can now confirm this is a useful piece to share with those whose enthusiasm for marxist-feminist analysis (good!) outstrips their resources for critiquing Federici's historiography (which is bad)

I do think we need more work on stabilized workflows -- right now we request a replicable methods section; if they don't address a last research question / bibliography in a core field I don't think these are useful.

I'll have a fun one for you Johanna -- such a great project

Hardback and an affordable (but beautifully produced) paperback on the same day… it’s the latest in our Literature & Politics series from @academic.oup.com. Doug Mao and @duncanbell.bsky.social arrive at Utopia via different routes. It’s a fascinating read!

so it's literal skynet, then

If a bunch of smart contemporary cultural criticism types got together to do a "Fight Club at 30" thing, I would read/listen to it the very moment it became available. Surely, something like this has to be in the works? It's timely in the worst way.

This book is so weird to read from the standpoint of someone who thinks about publishing and about how people talk to/about teachers. Published by Random House, it’s an anthology of readings “about” teaching that includes readings from Dostoevsky, Camus, Sartre, Kafka, Heidegger-

!! wow

congrats!

(Actually not that bad, a proto-slasher rather than actual slasher)

yeah good point!
