🎙️ ahem, some news... my first book Wonder Foods has been made into an audiobook 😱
And I'm *very* lucky that it's been read by the wonderful Margaret Wakeley, a pop singer, cabaret artist & voice actor, whose warm tone & humor I instantly fell in love with.

Taking a leaf out of the Dutch playbook I see.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I have a new article out in @gastronomica.bsky.social that might be useful to those of you teaching "Nutritionism" in your #foodstudies classes.
It's inspired by my own students in my course on concepts in history. Huge thanks to @gyorgyscrinis.bsky.social.

Let White People Be the Face of Trump’s Hunger Crisis—Opinion
Black suffering has never moved this country to act. Maybe seeing white families skip meals will finally make us admit that food insecurity isn’t fate—it’s a choice politicians keep making.

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

I was at my old high school today, for the first time in over twenty years, to talk to the teachers about how their curriculum can better support students. AI came up, and so many teachers were saying "Well it's a tool, they have to know how to use it, it's the future so we have to accept it!"

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.
