This week, I'm again teaching this beautiful audio essay about about pregnancy & the complex forms of "expecting" its embodiment implies. It's by a former student, Rachel Reynolds, who took my course on essayistic writing at UC Berkeley in 2010. Highly recommend.

My own contribution revisits Charles Wolfe's well-known article about vocal narration in classical documentary to theorize moving-image omniscience as a distinctly modern form of political intelligence that is largely under-appreciated.

I was honored to contribute to the latest Media Fields issue celebrating the careers of Constance Penley, Janet Walker & Charles Wolfe, my early mentors at UCSB Film Studies. Warm thanks to editors @trinankur.bsky.social, Ian Laughbaum & Richard Farrell for their hard work.

Florida is now obliterating not only murals that celebrate diversity & justice, but also anything that looks colorful or communal. Case in point: they're about to destroy this new mural in my neighborhood that features our local mascot: the double-headed alligator.

Pro tip: We can defend Lisa Cook against the Trump administration without doubling-down on the myth of Fed independence or naturalizing the fantasy that a high interest rate functions as an effective bulwark against inflation.

Has Wired Magazine shifted from a libertarian techno-utopian ideology to something more like a progressive critical stance? If so, when did this occur and is anybody writing about it?

How does law order the economy? How does money shape power relations?
