I am without words to express this loss. Joshua was a comrade and a friend of incalculable value to me--a presence so large I can't even begin to imagine the world without him. Rest in power.

A very judicious, useful review that persuades me to at least CONSIDER switching from Fowkes to the new one at least for teaching (tho I shudder at the idea of losing some of my fave moments of 19th c. language, rhetorical flair, and gothic excess!)

Corporations worldwide are spending untold billions to make this technology the frontal experience of every user interface, for some fuckin reason.

So all those celebratory and congratulatory posts were premature since the overlords of empire have determined that scholasticide and genocide are more important. Historians should boycott membership dues to AHA.

Today I was reminded of when the British Museum Prints & Drawings Collection wouldn’t even let me look at their card catalogue. I showed them my 2 page list of abt 70 keywords, but I had already made the mistake of saying I was studying race. 1/

Check out my grad student comrade Ashwin Bajaj's terrific new essay, "Amitav Ghosh's Ibis Trilogy and the So-Called Secret of the Historical Novel," in the recent issue of NOVEL. It takes up originary dispossession & the problem of narrating a surplus pop. DM for a PDF if you don't have acccess.

Opening with the powerful 1st sentence "I first glitched in July 2018," Zackary Kiebach's remarkable essay takes up "mundane and disruptive" glitches, theorizing "glitch ability" and crip poetics in the work of Hannah Weiner. Check it out! post45.org/2025/01/glit...

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

It’s weird how scrolling on this app you wouldn’t know that Israel burned down a hospital yesterday in Northern Gaza, or it murdered 103 Palestinians, or that that 4 children froze to death…

The way that university officials have begun to treat “peaceful” and “disruptive” as antonyms, when they in fact are not antonyms, is the kind of violence to language that one expects of authoritarians

For 2025 I think we should just ignore every "AI did this thing" report that does not explicitly state the resource cost (energy/CO2 for training and inference, hardware requirements/e-waste). We just cannot afford burning the planet for technological parlor tricks.

No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.

Highly recommend this excellent manifesto against gen AI in writing pedagogy/curriculum/studies. It's very smart and would be an interesting text to assign to students themselves to spark discussion. refusinggenai.wordpress.com
