These events always feel like the most fun summer camp where you get to see all your people at once (not to mention good music). Thank you for sharing the video!

Oasis vs. Blur!
Deeply, yes. I hate all of it.
JJT and have have a routine where 1) I’m resistant to something, 2) somehow I get into the thing and become obsessed, and 3) I drive him bananas with it. Ex: Grateful Dead and Fleetwood Mac. That DID NOT happen with this fucking band.
Teamed up with Prairiewolf to cover George Strait & Joni for our recent Lagniappe Session at @aquariumdrunkard.com
Yeah, I noticed that.
Well the email that asked me to contribute to this article on AI in the classroom went to my spam folder, but it's nice to read about others out there--including several of you--fighting this monster which, as @tressiemcphd.bsky.social has stressed, is not an inevitable part of our future.
RUDE
I mean I could totally fake this well enough 👀
I got interviewed by my university about my Oscars class, the cultural meaning of the Academy Awards, and I offered some picks too (I made these like a month ago)
Ugh, that’s what these are. I literally never ever use my office phone. I haven’t picked it up once in the six months I’ve been here.
Sure, raises are nice, but have you ever gotten a new office desk phone? 🙄
I'm compiling a spreadsheet. Next steps are to locate land where we can build; then James the smooth talker will get busy recruiting folks. We've got a shortlist already 😀
This is happening to far too many people. I'm getting ready for the indie-rock refuge commune. James and I both are!
Most people in my world know Brent as an extraordinary and accomplished music writer (which he is), but then they find out the man is also a brilliant and accomplished historian. At the top of his game in both! 👇👇👇
Thanks, Jim. Sometimes I think we should've just moved to Milwaukee and gotten jobs at Trader Joe's lol. Then we could at least hang out with Cash, you, and Beth, and bother Ken at Acme.
Thank you, Gregory 🙏
I always bristle at the phrase, especially since I have more teaching experience than a lot of tenured faculty I work with, including some full professors.
One hundred percent yes!
Honestly, Matt, I think people just leave before going up. This is not a place people want to be unless they're from here. I'm not sure what accounts for the gap between "junior" faculty (I hate that word because I'm pushing 50) and tenured faculty, who are almost all significantly older.
Thanks so much, Ben. I always appreciate your consistent affirmations.
I really don't know. I mean I'm sure they get terminal contracts or are booted immediately. I think the public system here offers even less protection than the former private school where I taught. Faculty aren't treated very well here.
South Georgia is blooming so early—but it is 85 degrees out there and has been for days
😅🔥
It's still raw, Carrie
Leah Toth: [accepts award; holds trophy high, scans the room, and makes eye contact with the loser in the JDP mask] "Better luck next time, 'John Dos Passos.'" [pauses, sneering] "Maybe next year pick a more obscure modernist to impersonate on social media."
“Askeetment award shit”: that was right there, and I didn’t even reach for it.
^^^I’m stone-cold sober this morning, so I can’t even blame my dumb jokes on being tore out the frame

lol
You’re unlikely to meet a bigger fan of Leonard Cohen’s music than me, but I bet he regretted writing “then he locked himself in a library shelf” pretty immediately.
