Wrapping up the image selects for my next book this week (settling in around 350).

Here are a few from the Tu Deh-Kah Geothermal Power plant, a new energy project owned and operated by the Fort Nelson First Nation as part of Canada's truth + reconciliation process.

Doing some final image selection for my next book and cannot stop staring at this beautiful shot of a Blackfoot logging crew from 1940

Trying to imagine Debra Messing conjuring up a 9 or 10 year old Zohran Mamdani watching Hey Arnold! or Ahhhh! Real Monsters before going outside to celebrate 9/11.

Just wrapped my first semester at Temple with a truly stellar group of students. Thanks to all the folks pictured (and not) for spending the day with us for their final review.

Not gonna link to it, but it's one of the most grotesque things I've ever read.

And a reminder that the ACSA's leadership created an ad hoc committee to circumvent their own board and hand them a justification for doing what they already wanted to do: cancel the JAE's forthcoming Palestine issue. www.archpaper.com/2025/04/jour...

Today @zachmortice.bsky.social has an update on the ACSA's decision to nuke its own flagship journal while exercising the last acceptable form of racism in America (anti-Palestinianism). As he notes, they even hired a GOP/RJC law firm to justify their decision.

I see the Phillies picked up right where they left off—swinging and missing at quite literally everything.

It’s hard to overstate just how supremely fucked the Democratic Party is when its shot callers earnestly think/say/tweet things like this on the reg.

The ACSA suspended its bylaws to form a secret, unelected committee to review and advise it on our journal’s forthcoming issue on Palestine. After a year of bullshit that ended in the issue’s cancellation, we’ve exhausted our options for salvaging it. Our entire editorial board resigns.
