I really love my university, a lot, even! But my gifts for tenure and promotion were two pens that don't work (see example scribbles). So, I bought myself a vintage Telly Award and had a $7 dollar name plate added because, dammit, tenure and promotion took me 40 years to accomplish!

One of the bigger changes to entering my 40s is the growing incidence of unplanned sleeps.

Taylor Cole Miller explores what vanished with DuMont, and why preserving television history matters. 🗄️ #Books #VanishingCulture #DigitalMemory #InternetArchive

Light green-gray graphic quoting Taylor Cole Miller, Media Historian, for the Vanishing Culture series, with the quote "But while its kinescopes may have submitted to a watery grave, the efforts of open-access archives like the Internet Archive...offer glimmers of hope."

Book cover titled “Vanishing Culture” on a teal background. Pixel-art style graphics show a VHS tape, open book, film reel, chain link, and vinyl record dissolving into digital fragments. At the bottom, a cursor icon points to the word “SAVE,” alongside an archive-style building icon, evoking digital preservation.

🕳️ What happens when an entire TV network nearly disappears from history? The DuMont Network pioneered television with firsts that shaped the medium, yet much of its legacy is gone forever. 📺 📚 Read for free or purchase in print: archive.org/details/vani... 🧵

Teal graphic for the Vanishing Culture series asking "How much of America's early television history is gone for good?" and quoting Taylor Cole Miller, Media Historian, with the quote "Television culture is inextricably linked with American culture, but most early television is lost forever, a vanishing era of our culture with few traces."

Orange graphic quoting Taylor Cole Miller, Media Historian, for the Vanishing Culture series, with the quote "DuMont's television archive was intentionally destroyed as a result of the negotiations of a sale in the 1970s...dumped in the Upper New York Bay. Very neat. No problem."

#Hacks really stuck the landing! From the power of Xenites early on in the season to Barbra and Judy from The Judy Garland Show signing off, Hacks was a love letter to the meaningful connections the medium so often makes.

When a streamer has one or two commercials, I watch them all the way through. When they have two and a half minutes of commercials, I take a restroom break or mute and look at TikTok and don’t watch any commercials.

ALL platforms need to have specific categories for reporting unlabeled AI nonsense. Since none of you let us write comments about why we are reporting something, at least do this.
