Capitalist greed, elite-driven corruption, naked patriarchy, stupidity and general immunity at the top, fundamentally abusive. But just a joke hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha kill me

Watch every Ferengi-centric episode in a row. Such an uncomfortably, bathetically accurate reflection of our social and political reality.

What a strange thing to be rewatching Star Trek: DS9, seeing the latest drop of Epstein emails, and coming to the inescapable conclusion that we live on Ferenginar.

Amazing news from our wonderful director, @dhersh.bsky.social who will be working to build a Graduate Writing Program!

Just saw Oh, Mary! starring Jinkx Monsoon!!! Honestly, it’s so refreshing to see historically informed theater for once

Excited to take a very big step toward my goal of creating a Graduate Writing Program.

NEH Announces $75.1 Million for 84 Humanities Projects

Tickled to see Close Reading for the Twenty-First Century mentioned twice here. I’ll be hosting the NYC launch on February 20. Save the date and stay tuned for details!

I’m rewatching DS9 for the nth time, and the episode where Quark tries to steal a holo-scan of Kira to make an illicit sex holo-program for an SDE moneybags-type…hits a tad harder in the age of AI.

Great news! Our TV died just in time for Black Friday!!!

Happy to!

It began with Harvard’s development of their Expository Writing Program in the early 80’s. People involved in that effort started to get hired by other (private) institutions to build similar programs. It’s a really interesting institutional history, largely unwritten. Happy to chat sometime!

#WritingTip: In the thick of research, it's easy to get overwhelmed @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social but one strategy that can help you refocus is to get back to your research questions. What are you trying to figure out and how is your research getting you closer to an answer?

Hey now! No need to disparage Jersey City. You’re better than that, Zohran!

AI's promise is still taking shape. The costs of its data centers are already here. Data center costs in electricity and water have been hard to pin down. We dug up documents to figure out the impact of AI infrastructure.

I think a fair bit about the AI boom and it’s globe-cracking costs. If you do, too, then this piece of investigative journalism is worth a read: www.businessinsider.com/ai-data-cent...

Missed our reverse outlining workshop @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social ? That's ok! Read our definition in the #RevisionStrategies Glossary and then put it into practice with exercises like "Is Your First Draft Disorganized? Reverse Outlining as a Method to Discover Structure." buff.ly/YwUE7pT

Columbia Student Hunted by ICE Sues to Prevent Deportation Yunseo Chung, a legal permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. since she was 7, participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Immigration agents visited residences looking for her.

the law clinic repping this student, CLEAR, is based out of CUNY.....once again the public city university absolutely flounces the ivy league when it comes to having a backbone and standing on actual principles

Totally! Tax the Rich has an implied message of accountability. It acknowledges that fraud and financial shenanigans are mostly conducted by rich people, not poor and working class people.
