Nice!

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT is reviewed in the new issue of @fangoria.bsky.social! I'll be a puddle of goo next to a Wet Floor sign in my local bookstore later when I pick up a copy. Many thanks to Ahlissa Eichhorn for the kind words. 📼

If you're a fan of surrealist film, weirdo animation, or feminist art, do yourself a favor and watch the films of Suzan Pitt on @criterionchannl.bsky.social. They're gloriously outlandish, filled with stunning visuals and evocative moments. Really great stuff!

2009—Cory Booker endorses Michael Bloomberg for Mayor & Bloomberg wasn’t even then a Democrat

2021—Cory Booker endorses Eric Adams for mayor

2025—Cory Booker refuses to endorse Zohran Mamdani, claiming he stays out of NYC politics

The hypocrisy from corporate Democrats is staggering & cowardly.

I'd love to see the syllabus if you felt like sharing. It really does sound like a great class!

Wow! That class sounds amazing! You should check out the whole issue. It's one cinema and zoonosis (I co-edited it), and there's lots of great stuff.

A version of one of the chapters was published here:

Yes! I have a couple of chapters in my current work in progress that's about how the right latches on to actual public health ideas and then rearticulates them to confirm their own worldview. You see it as lot in groups like Moms4Liberty and on message boards during Covid.

If Anthropic Succeeds, a Nation of Benevolent AI Geniuses Could Be Born The brother goes on vision quests. The sister is a former English major. Together, they defected from OpenAI, started Anthropic, and built (they say) AI’s most upstanding citizen, Claude.

There's obviously a lot to say about the dearth of humanities training in STEM fields, but I'm also extremely dubious of stories about how "X, Y, Z, tech CEO was an English/Philosophy/Humanities major, and therefore benevolent" like this one:

By sending institutions into crisis, Trump has a tendency of revealing the rot at their center that would have otherwise remained completely ignored or papered over. In this case, it's American higher ed, which is so hollowed out as to simply collapse in on itself under the slightest pressure.

Writing my mother's obituary was a huge step in helping me mourn her loss. It helped me talk to her friends and family about her life, and I learned more about her as a person. I can't possibly imagine why I would want to outsource that to a machine that would get basic facts about her life wrong.
