Also, I enjoyed convening Seminar 26 with the wonderful @peptriss.bsky.social, Béatrice Laurent, and Anne Kerchy, attached to our @assemblagelit.bsky.social which has been really successful. My thanks go to them, and to all the speakers who engaged with (Neo-)Victorian assemblages

Such sad news and an awful situation. Whatever the truth, the impact of recent scrutiny has clearly been unbearable. My heart goes out to his family. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Saw Dangerous Liaisons at the NT this weekend - amazing staging and costumes. However, some uncomfortable tensions between the play’s ironic tone and seduction, given our post-#MeToo moment

covering true crime in the media
the ethics of representing true crime
adapting and reinterpreting true crime
(de)mythologising perpetrators
the criminal-detective dynamic
voicing the victims and their families
the role of law enforcement
shifting formats of narrating true crime
marketing and reception

Having now seen #Nosferatu, I’m sorry to say that I was disappointed. I’ve loved Eggers’ work to date, and the cinematography here was equally impressive, but it’s a one-note movie - everything is overwrought, including Orlok’s distracting accent!
