I'm excited to share my piece in Los Angeles Review of Books @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social, which examines OpenAI's claims about ChatGPT's creative writing skills, Big Tech's weaponisation of grief and nostalgia, and the collapse of the academic humanities. lareviewofbooks.org/article/lite...

Faculty did not ask for this. The chancellor did this while claiming austerity and collecting a million dollars in salary and benefits. While TAMU is closing women's and gender studies programs out of pointed cruelty, the CSU is doing the same out of willful starving of resources and layoffs.

Don’t ever let people forget this.
And one of the first survivors to step forward to try to stop Epstein? A trans woman, who was promptly mocked and villified by the New York Post, New York Magazine, the courts and law enforcement.

Couched in "save the trees" greenwashing
Many institutions discourage or forbid printing materials for teaching. That policy needs rethinking.

remember that time he got booed off the stage at a dave chapelle show and he had a mental breakdown so bad he locked himself in his office and staff at twitter almost called the police because they were worried he was going to hurt himself?
i feel like the booing is a lot louder now.

When I resigned as co-chair of the National Association of Black Journalists convention after their decision to platform Trump, I took a lot of heat for it.
I was told “Black journalists are going to expose his racism and save America”
Today, the Trump regime is arresting Black journalists.

Remember how Musk designed a submersible coffin that couldn't navigate a cave, accused a rescue diver of being "a pedo guy", and then based seemingly on that entire experience decided the world didn't need USAID? Stunned, stunned that he turned up in the latest Epstein files.

Words can’t describe how much I loved this novel — and how much I loved teaching it in my contemporary fiction class. It is an absolute masterpiece.
Sayaka Murata's 2016 Akutagawa winner, Convenience Store Woman, led the recent boom in translated Japanese fiction. Her stories dissect how society's expectations don't stand up to scrutiny. Her protagonists seem oddball, but she claims anxieties about "not being human enough" are "very normal".
