Sujey says that eating sweet potato pie does not count as eating my vegetables. I don’t need this kind of negativity.

The other day I read Chomsky’s 1967 “Responsibility of Intellectuals.” As some know, I am a fan of beautiful academic writing (a sadly too-rare thing). Chomsky concludes by drawing on a piece by Dwight MacDonald: “Macdonald quotes an interview with a death-camp paymaster

Writing about the university professor life, Max Weber: “Do you in all conscience believe that you can stand seeing mediocrity after mediocrity, year after year climb beyond you, without becoming embittered and without coming to grief? I have found that only a few men [sic] could endure this.”
LOL

Normally when I wake up at 3:00am with a great research idea, it takes about 10 minutes to realize it’s pretty stupid. Well it’s after 9:00 and I still think it’s a great idea, so now I need Sujey to come home and tell me it’s a knuckleheaded idea.

Harassment, racism, and engagement farming are not “a difference of opinion.”

Had a chance to talk about BlueSky on Pablo’s pod—and why the echo chamber argument mischaracterizes what’s actually going on.

I’m trying to figure out how someone can write a book about 20th century public intellectuals in the US and NOT talk about Baldwin.

To some, this is a blocking call. For Sujey, at Jayden’s scrimmage, this means “sassy pants.”

If BlueSky is going to thrive, it clearly needs more college basketball content
