I've been teaching contemporary politics for nearly 40 years (Emory, Brown, now Georgetown) and *never* experienced anything even remotely like the inflection point Lepore describes. Hard to describe this as anything other than pandering to the self-appointed critics of universities.

question for #AcademicSky -- received an AI subsidiary aggregation addendum from my publisher for a book that came out some years ago. Are you signing these kinds of agreements? I'm inclined to reject the request, but have no feel for the consequences/implications either way.

People be like "it's an authoritarian police state but with dopes", and the subtext I'm getting is "authoritarians get misremembered as non-dopes".
Like... no, my friend, authoritarianism is just what you get when impulse-driven doinks run the show. It wasn't called "Triumph of the Smarts".

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Received this today. When I listened to it, I discovered to my horror that AI was attributing the arguments of the book's author to me, the book reviewer. I informed Academia that they might want to reconsider this new service for subscribers if they want to keep their subscribers. #AcademicSky

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all.
Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

Watching Saving Private Ryan on the June 6 anniversary. If DOGE had been a thing back then there would’ve been nothing to talk about, because there wouldn’t have been any typists in the Defense Department pool to catch the fact that three brothers out of four had been killed in action.

Senator Foghorn Leghorn occasionally gets it right:
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), when asked about the fight between Trump and Musk, said, “I have a rule, I never get between a dog and a fire hydrant.” He did not provide any specifics on who the dog is and who the hydrant is.

Ray Hudson is a gem, but after today’s gripping UCL semi I’ve concluded you don’t want him running the kitchen in your cosy corner trattoria.
Ray, al dente does not mean overcooked. It’s exactly what you aim for.

Schools should announce they’re eliminating football, basketball (men and women), baseball, and softball to offset lost revenues. After all, austerity demands a return to the core mission of the university.
Just imagine the public reaction. #AcademicSky

I really miss Roger Ebert’s writing. His reviews were always thoughtful reads, always said something, and were unmistakably him. Here is his review of the masterpiece that is Oliver Hirschbiegel’s Downfall from (hard to believe it) *twenty* years ago. #skystorians #history #filmsky
