Can’t wait to share my work on #medievalism on stage (including Camelot and Pippin) in London later this month!

Nothing better illustrates how well the tech industry markets its mendacity than convincing people that they have managed to predict people’s needs when what they have actually done is modify people’s behavior.

Yes! That was so engaging. The idea that the *fuzzy semantics* around defining AI helps create a cultural narrative that fuels market demand for LLMs is very compelling. I’d love to read more of your work on this.

So proud to share that the Viator cluster on "Early Global Insularities"@nahir.bsky.social and I co-edited was published today. We got a chance to explore the histories, archives, and literature of premodern islands with an amazing and diverse community of scholars. cmrs.ucla.edu/publications...

"Language—when it lies, when it silences truth, when it contradicts itself or cowers behind sarcasm and cruelty, when it willfully creates chaos—is transgressive." Oh, just my musings about Dante, hope, and the labor of consolation. #booksky #medievalsky saratorres.substack.com/p/the-way-we...

How awesome! This is such a great idea. Do you have a favorite script and/or century to teach?

Enjoy! All Creatures (the series and the books) is my go-to restorative ritual…

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist

There is a certain sparkle to waking up early on a frosty winter morning to write as the sun rises. As my first #bsky post, here’s a shot of my first-morning-coffee, blue-sky view. ☀️
