A stirring sermon from an Episcopalian pulpit in Morgantown, West Virginia that we thought was worth reprinting: "Our federal government, by sanctioning unwarranted lethal force, has made this a matter of faith, of basic morality and decency. This goes well beyond politics." trib.al/dZFo8NP

Baz Luhrman’s forthcoming documentary, EPiC, is pretty stunning. I had the good fortune to see it in IMAX in Toronto.

A terrible loss for the filmmaking world. I am extremely grateful for every day spent with Jill. You can now watch all of her films for free via Vimeo.

I wrote a piece for @the-straddler.bsky.social some time ago that speculated on the impact of smartphones and tablets on media culture. This iPhone ad spoof was central to it. RIP DL! youtu.be/wKiIroiCvZ0

In my 20+ years of working in academia, I have yet to set foot in a faculty lounge.

Faculty only get together at departmental meetings which several attend via zoom.

I currently procure my morning coffee in a repurposed utility closet.
New: Dems have conflated the ideas that they should take language “not from the faculty lounge, but the assembly line," and that "identity politics needs to go the way of the dodo.” These concepts overlap, but the differences are important. The second, in particular, is a copout.

They should do less complaining about activist tactics and more plain speaking about what they think is righteous.

Yes, the NYT coverage of Biden is horrible but who else can give me the fleeting sense of accomplishment that a Genius-level win on Spelling Bee can provide?

Best news of the week. And it’s only Monday.

Sorry. Make that ND guests for those outside of our rusty bubble.

I know the answer but it’s by process of elimination of DPAC guest speakers. Is that cheating?
