Print Media has been slowly dying over the last decade, but still features some of the best in-depth, well researched and important journalism out there.

Just had one of my former students email me to help them identify an Edward Hopper reference in The Simpsons. Made my week and reminded me why I got into academia.

The BBC’s The Great Philosophers series with Bryan Magee is some of the best television ever made. It’s brilliant - no bells & whistles, no flashy gimmicks to hide a lack of substance. Just two people talking and thinking carefully. It’s being re-run on BBC4, but it’s also available online.

It’s wild how much hate people get for pointing out that Taylor Swift’s mass market lyricism and artistry about white heterosexual womanhood do in fact reflect and contribute to the sociopolitical culture we all share. Certain types of fandom are actively hostile to cultural critique!

Instead of doing another Pynchon adoption, Paul Thomas Anderson should direct the Infinite Jest movie. It will never get finished and will become famous for the making of documentary titled There Will Be Water.

I love how when you actually read the classics of continental philosophy the first chapter is always like 'I am quite fond of asking whether the ground's grounding of the grounded grounds the ground's grounding of the grounded'

As a younger millennial I often hear how we all grow up to be cynical and disillusioned Squidwards. However, the older I get the more I realize I've become more like Spongebob with my toxic and obsessive relationship to work.
