Forgot my coffee in the car before teaching morning class. Began lecture, then bleated “Where’s my coffee?” followed quickly by “NOBODY PANIC!” as a sea of sleepy faces stared back at me blankly.
The semester can’t end soon enough.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Set in 1915, @danchaon.bsky.social's spellbinding new novel, "One of Us," explores American marginalization and violence via telepathic twins in a traveling circus. Just out from @henryholtbooks.bsky.social. Here's my rave review for @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/b...

Choosing Chris Evans over Pedro Pascal makes no sense. Choosing Miles Teller over Callum Turner makes no sense. These movies are lying to themselves and to the viewer and I can’t abide. CAN’T. ABIDE.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.
