it was a useful teaching moment to explain how quickly the media landscape changes and long it takes to get academic work published!

they did notice that it still said Twitter, though

“chier” in French is both vulgar and juvenile

can I just say that the first edition has been a lifesaver for my Intro class

what did they think? every class I’ve shown Ballet Mécanique to has seemed scarred by the experience

looks like the back row of the second section of my Intro class

ok who punked me by giving my email address to the Daily Wire and the Babylon Bee

what is this from, so I can share it with my TV studies class?

will do!

sure. I’ve taught multiple versions at different universities, if you’re interested in that!

I teach a film and media history survey every year but am hoping to teach a 1950s class soon…

a poster with a blue background and an isometric pattern of green hexes with a blue and red decoration. the text reads CALLING ALL HISTORICAL GAMERS: Playful Time Machines is an NWO-funded research project investigating what historical video gameplay means to players. We are looking for survey respondents aged 18 and up who play grand strategy, action/ adventure, and shooter games about the past! Fill in our survey at edu.nl/7w3yn!

hey y'all! my questionnaire on player experience in historical videogames is now LIVE! if you play videogames about the past, we want to hear from you! edu.nl/7w3yn

watching a panel about a TV history topic featuring several historians and a TV critic and…I am surprised at the things that the critic is surprised by

about to find out what students hated more: having to watch a feature-length silent experimental Soviet montage documentary or having to watch Real Housewives of New York

for the uninitiated, this is the day where we explain how US media is a corporate oligopoly in ways that harm democracy, with the added bonus of specific examples of the politicized FCC under Trump and its many crackdowns on free speech so...maybe not what they were expecting

admissions has asked whether a potential student can sit in on my Intro class....little do they know that's political economy day on the syllabus

we’ve been talking about their media and technology habits in my Intro class…I wonder if I could work a “no phones before class” experiment into the lesson plan

but New Yorkers love hating their mayor

it’s full of thirtysomethings!

it seems this is also the case with many (most?) reality shows

finished teaching my second back-to-back class and, too tired to get my things together and leave, I stood at the podium until the motion-activated lights shut off

once again mad at myself for not being born into generational wealth

daylight savings ending means an extra hour for grading !!!

definitely get a dosa—the best ones are in deep Queens but there are good options in the village as well. I went to Ananda the last time I was in town and it was v. good

definitely Mamoun’s! The one in the village is the original

what kind? I’m fairly well-versed in the good cheap ethnic kind but not the nicer ones

I don’t know that one but this looks excellent

which restaurant???

I’m trying to imagine being in a position to make these kinds of choices and it feels so far away!
