Super interesting piece by @aaronrhanlon.com on the proper relationship between interpretation (in the literary sense) & explanation. If you've ever grumbled about the absence of methods in humanities fights that are allegedly about method, this might be the paper for you too.

If anyone at DC is listening, lots of us love the correct paper stock and know the Neal Adams Absolute Batman volumes will not live up the original art and color promise without it.

Working on a paper on this with @anthlittle.bsky.social and @carloprato.bsky.social. Would welcome suggestions for papers that explore similar point.
Trump very popular w/ base, -and- due to single member districts, can inflict electoral penalty even if they force him out. In party list systems an ousted leader can’t punish incumbents to same degree.
