'It's a colonial invasion narrative': How Henry V inspired English Kings Killing Foreigners In 2019, Philip Arditti and Nina Bowers took aim at both the nationalism of Shakespeare's play and the rise of 'woke'. But have those targets shifted?

'In a way, this play has made me feel more English’

Hailey Bachrach (@bachrach.bsky.social) chats with Philip Arditti and Nina Bowers about revisiting their dark satire English King Killing Foreigners in a new political era

I love Phil and Nina and I'm so excited for this show!

i was wondering 😂

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

I’m seeing a lot of inaccurate info about the Anthropic settlement being passed around as fact, so here’s a good basic explainer from the Author’s Guild that I highly recommend reading so you understand it better if you’re potentially part of the class: authorsguild.org/news/what-au...

Me applying for and getting this job as an undercover investigative reporting scheme, like Nellie Bly getting herself committed to a mental institution.

"The point is not that nets cannot 'understand' what they generate or what we say to them but rather that they reveal unknown regions of our representative apparatus."

Weatherby, "Language Machines"

how we have to rethink the deep structure of language in light of LLMs

a very good thread on this industry

Updated my quick player grading tool from the old job for some client work and I've made some really interesting discoveries. It turns out your favorite team's star is pretty bad, but your rival's star is the best player in the league.

glad I don't have to see who is still retweeting That One Academic now that they've gone full antisemite

Because editing yourself TEACHES YOU HOW TO EDIT. And also write! When you have to take out all the "justs" and "reallys" yourself, you're aware of not putting them in there the next time you write. This is the whole process. This is the whole point of the practice of writing.

Plus the "didn't learn your lesson" framing is extremely fucked and implies you deserve to be taught that lesson again

i was with you until raisins :(

This is what super rich people should do. Make your favorite university into a Death Star and then try and cure some illnesses.

I've been pretty vocal about my concern that toxic manosphere shit and regressive right-wing politics have left America at a massive disadvantage in the arms race of Guys Being Dudes. This is what I'm talking about.

imo 'sports misery' occurs as a circle not a spectrum--when your team is complete dogshit you achieve an unstressed freedom only otherwise found in fans of multi-year championship dynasties. true misery is eternal mid-ness, year-in year-out ~.500, one or two beloved stars wasting their careers

to say that I'm not giving up on the idea and meaning and value of criticism in ANY field, movies, books, music, theater, dance, whatever. As a reader/person/human, it has sustained me for a lifetime! We have to keep fighting for it. [End of thread—and again, apologies!]

In light of Vanity Fair's recent idiotic decision, WaPo's offering its veteran critic a buyout, the NYT's "reassigning" three arts writers critics, etc., a lot of us are talking about the public's (and thus publications') lack of interest in criticism. It's part of a larger pattern of a war...

I hope you're okay!!

Excellent Shoreditch wanderings with one of my best pals today.

Ah, missed the parenthetical! I’d look at some of the practice-based publishers like Routledge, Palgrave, and Metheun in that case, as they have lots of case study collections of modern rehearsal. Elizabeth Tavares is also great on that stuff

Tiffany Stern was the go-to on this, though I’m not sure if there’s newer stuff out now
