Gross. Sad to see some of these names...

If the only thing I know about music is that Britten's Festival Te Deum is a Kinsey 6, that's probably enough.

This looks incredible!

Currently @universityaffairs.bsky.social has like 20 followers, so anyway, Canadian academics (and others) should follow them.

Glad to see this work with Daniel Cockayne @dcockayne.bsky.social on Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) payment technolgies and consumer fintech published in the newest volume of @jcultecon.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I read this a couple of years ago and it was truly excellent - an inspiration to Ferrante that is surely worthy of her.

Martin Luther King was born on this day 96 years ago. He was murdered at age 39. When I was younger, I thought he lived far into adulthood. Now that I’m 42, I think, he was such a baby when he was pushed into the spotlight.

Interesting thread.

It's exciting to see the launch of Urban Political Ecology (the journal). I'm on the ed board along with a bunch of great folks & it's a venue that values practitioner-facing articles to develop tools and concepts that make sense of cities' future as the ecological crisis intensifies.

Happy NY all!

📚 It's time for the Fitzcarraldo Editions staff picks for Books of the Year 2024* 📚

Watching Carol and listening to Bad Gays: the perfect Christmas.

Trying to work in the last hours of the last day of the working year is proving very challenging.

Favorite books read this year, in no particular order: The Empusium - Olga Togarczuk The Long Form - Kate Briggs Annie John - Jamaica Kincaid Jazz - Toni Morrison The End of the Day - Lydia Davis Next year I'll be tackling The Books of Jacob...!

Ironically I'd say thay crypto's use as a means of payment in criminal activity is one of the only ways it legitimately functions as a form of money.

This looks excellent!

I've been meaning to check out Scaffolding. Greatly enjoyed The Empusium and Context Collapse this year. The Nickel Boys is utterly devastating.

Neat!

Nothing will ever convince me that AI will be able to meaningfully reproduce the work of artists, musicians, poets, novelists.

Hello everyone! Many of us are new to this platform, so I thought I would post some things that I wrote this year, alone and with others, as a way to introduce myself. I'm proud of this research and excited to share. This thread is a short summary of these contributions with links.

This looks incredible!
