For all the claims that Americans are in a populist mood and therefore scornful of higher education it sure seems as though Trump’s War on College is super-unpopular. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🧵More people need to talk about the role of curriculum & course design in addressing the alleged “Kids Can’t Read” crisis. Telling students to eat their broccoli canon so their cultural capital & reading comprehension grows up nice and strong ain’t going to cut it.

I read this carefully twice. The "dog that does not bark" in this letter defending Chubb's decision to issue a supersedeas bond to Donald Trump is there is NO discussion of (a) what assets Chubb received as collateral to secure the bond or (b) who posted those assets.
Those are my open questions.

“On Photography” is my favorite Sontag work, and is fascinating to read today in the context of modern photography. “What does a photo actually represent” has never been a straightforward question.
the degree to which phone cameras are producing images via computing/ML rather than just capturing pixels on a sensor -- even if you don't do any editing or turn on the fancy "use the best version" settings -- is I think generally underappreciated
