Side note: I look forward to Chicago and any other schools suspending PhD admissions and hiring also suspending publication requirements for current faculty in those fields since such reqs presuppose the existence of an adequate pool of peer reviewers

As the #Colorado River dries up, Western states are fighting over how to share what’s left.

#Arizona’s new proposal could reshape #waterrights. buff.ly/xsEzuF4 By Sarah Porter @morrisoninstitute.bsky.social
As the Colorado River slowly dries up, states angle for influence over future water rights
Long-standing water-use agreements allocate more water than the river and its basin actually contain, forcing users to cut back and face future shortages as well.

Two great Mexican films: In MUBI and VOD, La cocina, an immersive film on immigrant and minority labor in a NY kitchen, in Vix with English subtitles Déjame estar contigo, a romantic dramedy on a deportee and the right of Mexican Americans to claim Mexico as theirs. I strongly recommend both.

Spain performed a grand act of quixotism yesterday: a national blackout.

Today, my article on postapocalyptic quixotism in the graphic novel La sombra de Don Quijote went online at @spanishbulletin.bsky.social

The timing could not be better—alas. Check it out:
