@katelynburns.com I finally heard the Cancel Me, Daddy episode about Sam Altman. After listening to it I freaked out that I was possibly cooking with Drizzle. Got home, checked the cabinet, and it was Sizzle. Such a relief!

Love yourself as much as Bill Murray hates himself in Ghostbusters II, and you'll do well in life.

After I read about how much he didn't want to make Ghostbusters II, it really reframed how I watch the movie. That said, it's so fun and goofy! I also like that you get way more Ernie Hudson because that dude rules.

I will be eternally grateful to have been born in a literate culture where literacy was valued and expected and I still had the time, attention, and freedom to develop a literacy practice. Understanding context, inference, vocabulary, perspective, affect — all powerful, useful skills and values.

hey y'all please don't make fun of Shane Gillis for being fat make fun of him for being a misogynistic troll who can't think of anything more groundbreaking than "why women give boner" and having the facial hair and rizz of a 14 y/o boy Limp Bizkit fan in 2006

I like this framing. It gets at the asymmetry of the conservative civil society and the 70 year attack on the public sphere.

At the same time that we are asked to embrace the morality of the AI machine, we are giving up our own morality by streaming executions for public entertainment. American priorities need a serious review.

One of the soccer dads got a new watch as an anniversary present. We talked all about the watch and then he took it off and let me hold it and then we talked EVEN MORE about the watch. It was awesome.

This week I started to show my Witches students Hocus Pocus (1993) and they were like "this is a bit violent for kids right?" when the witches are hanged, and I was like "no, no, it's just from the 90s." And then I watched the rest of it at home and was like "yowza" so I wrote about that feeling.

DARK SIDE is where it's at for me. The whole thing is basically perfect. I want to like THE WALL, but it just doesn't click for me. DARK SIDE manages to be spacey and weird but packaged in some tight-ass songs.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

Louise Erdrich is so good, it’s easy to take for granted how good she is. By which I mean great, of course.

The cover of Louise Erdrich’s book of stories, Python’s Kids. The cover shows the book’s title and the author’s name in green ink. A gold and blue python-like design flows over a black background.

It's really good when it's funny! Ayo Edebiri is, you know, a comedy person! Oh well. The first couple of seasons were good. I always thought it would have been great if the series ended with them going back to being an Italian beef place.
