Look who we’ve got for the day at ASU, two months after the Peoria School District removed Frederick Douglass from the curriculum. @samcohen.bsky.social ‘s here to speak a lil truth and also, as in this pic, to use superpowers.

Fantastic. “I think you can master complex subjects in like 20 minutes. Please let me run your university.”

Meet “ASU Atomic,” a subscription platform that claims to offer customized learning modules for fee-paying users. None of the ASU faculty whose course materials were harvested for the module I generated were aware that their image, lectures, lessons, or other teaching materials are being used.

My co-editors Andrew Taylor, Sarah Ruffing Robbins, and I are so proud of this latest book in the Interventions series published by @edinburghuniversitypress. The Asian American Renaissance: Literary Encounters Across Time by Mai Wang will change the stories we tell about US literary history.

Um the Arizona Department of Public Safety estimates yesterday’s crowd at the Capitol at 3k? This video capture a small fraction, maybe 1/20th of the ebullient gathering I witnessed.

Let’s just say that generation of UVA students wouldn’t have much liked this generation of UVA students.

UVA Rotunda where Virginia students heckled and mocked an aging Emerson invited to speak in 1876.

Hey @lastweektonight.com as author of an LA Times piece on fake Emerson quotes, I have to step in. He isn’t talking about tipping as he writes: “I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, but it is a wicked dollar which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold.” He’s whining about charity.

This chart no longer available on the CDC website bc it offers guidelines regarding contraception and STIs. Doctors use this—or used to—to advise on contraception and major medical co-morbidities. Enjoying those cheaper eggs?

I don’t know which is better: the brilliant work I heard today in New Orleans at #MLA25 or this Cajun shrimp i just ordered.

My student got so sick of watching me trying to scratch out whiteboard text using markers ASU hasn’t replaced in a decade that she got me in early Xmas present.

Ben Bascomb on Jonathan Plummer—no hermaphrodite, he!—and “long” C19 anxiety over penis length, girth, etc. Just one of several brilliant contributions to this panel on queer reception histories; so far #c19 Pasadena is 🔥
