Katie fucking Porter wrote an op-ed about how it is isn't Medicare for all, and only "perpetuates the status quo." YEAH that's FUCKING RIGHT, it allows people to still get healthcare? For the state to pay medical providers? For hospitals not to close? THAT status quo? archive.li/gUp3l#select...

“I’ll be looking at”: i.e. “I am curious to see and hope to be able to cite and use”—in other words, not an expression of distrust…

This is illuminating. From an obstinately apolitical perspective, it is also an excellent piece on the circulation of small literatures in translation in the 2020s. (The point is: the case is actually not that special.) I will be looking at the data they are sharing.

… and, absent reviewing and discussion, how do you even become aware of it, even if it was written by a brandname of a scholar… Makes one wonder about the whole enterprise.

And also, of the staggering and unmanageable overproduction of scholarship (something NKH is not unguilty of btw) while reviewing and discussion is collapsing. This is also a structural problem not just a moral failure.

Data centers are the fight manifestly easier to win. But winning that fight won’t actually turn things around. Global emissions are growing even if you discount data centers. Forest from the trees. Important trees—and yet.

It will surprise you none at all that media obsolescence myths are almost always originated by a.) investor & entrepreneurs in emergent media, and/or b.) investors who want to consolidate control of “obsolescent” media infrastructure.

You all know there is an actual island in Europe that is swapping nationalities every 6 months? The island is called Pheasant Island and is located on the Bidasoa River, France, and Irun, Spain. The swapping goes back to mid seventeenth century peace negotiations between France and Spain. #FRAESP

2 sheets in error makes sense. Def not bearing type, and if accidentally uninked—there would still be some traces if ink from the previous round. But these are clean, and the outlines of the impression seem a bit soft, less sharp than they would be if clean type was pressed into paper.

In legal-practical terms: if it is fraud, who gets to call it fraud in a way that’s consequential? Can Congress judge the judges? Can it judge their decisions? Under any circumstance? Genuine question. Or is it down to “we the people” which is precisely the answer you are trying to bracket here.

The Shakespeare authorship discussion is a branch of this: an obsession with the person, with no interest in the art as art.
