love getting a used book and it has meticulous underlining and marginal notes but only through page 18. aww you had such grand ambitions didn't you buddy

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

Past peoples looked forward in time, not back; they didn’t know what was coming. To fully grasp history, remember that

Also: contingency is the heart of history. There are no guarantees

And: let sources guide you. Don’t make them say what you want them to say—which is easy if you’re cherry-picking

My book comes out in 6 weeks. I am actively fighting my discomfort w/ self-promotion because a) I am proud of the work & b) if I don't let people know about it nobody else will. Here's a cool video edit my student made! I'll post the latest discount codes for pre-orders below. vimeo.com/1103015090

Thank you! It was great presenting with you and getting a chance to chat a bit at the social gathering. Really enjoyed your talk--I'm still thinking about your remarks on memory and art...

I'm talking about Bizarro at Comic-Con on Thursday, 2:00, Room 26AB, for a great panel on "American Anxieties." I'll discuss Bizarro's origins in the dailies and comic books, 1958-1962, and examine his image and meaning in the context of postwar culture, art, science, and politics.

RIP to Malcolm Jamal-Warner, who reportedly has died after drowning in Costa Rica at the age of 54.

For many of us, he was the brother we never had on The Cosby Show. He later appeared on shows like The Resident.

He leaves behind a wife and daughter.

This one hurts.

The best thing right now is to keep living your values and take care of yourself and others. The more caretaking we do now, the better for us all. Fascism is for losers. It's a short lived, violent disruption. Their time is up. 🥰
