It's a monumental day in American history, as today marks 5 years since our seminal, 5-part miniseries, "20 9/11s." We celebrated the anniversary by finally watching the movie we've talked about more on the podcast than any other we haven't actually seen. open.spotify.com/episode/0HfP...

we really struggle to remember this platform exists, but FYI we've since released two more episodes to finish off our SUMMER VACATION miniseries. first, you can listen to us discuss O Brother, Where Art Thou? with Mississippi musician Andrew Bryant: open.spotify.com/episode/5sYG...

our new miniseries, SUMMER VACATION, fully kicks off today with an episode on NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION (1983), a shaggydog odyssey into the heart of capitalism from Harold Ramis, John Hughes, and, of course, Chevy Chase.

huge shoutout and thanks to @jdconnor.bsky.social for zooming into my "Hollywood on Hollywood" class today. we had a great discussion about Jordan Peele's NOPE, streaming, AI, and how inflation has affected Hollywood film production

the thing about trying to rebrand AI as a "tool"/"normal technology" is that such things are also bad when they are used in social relations of worker suppression and dispossession. in this sense, yes, AI is in continuity with the fucking loom, but not in a good way.

I've been really blessed by academics who've been willing to do guest appearances in my classes despite my relative lack of dept resources (e.g. $). So, I'm not exactly an expert on anything, but FYI I'm always happy to do this for you if it's something in my wheelhouse.

You wouldn't be alone with your mother? Is that just your situation or do you think this should be the case for everyone? I'm not really sure how to respond to this.

Since I got married? Nope. Not a chance. I would never disrespect my wife by doing that. A married man should never put themselves in a situation where their wife has cause to distrust them if they can help it.

insanely useless Q, but can anyone think of just a platonic example of an extremely coherent, well written, well argued scholarly article for a general audience as like, an example of the genre? perhaps on a poem or other "small" object the students could also read for 1 day?

if you're ever in a situation where lots of people are passing out (supervillain gassed the bank, etc.), pretend to be passed out too. there's no downside. you can always pretend you woke up early once you've had time to assess the situation.
