Video shows black bear charging at a hiker on Mt. Wilson Video captured on Mt. Wilson in the Angeles National Forest showed a black bear charging at a hiker.

"Video shows black bear charging at a hiker on Mt. Wilson"

Well, it seems that SoCal hikers have moved from obsessing about rattlesnakes to another animal not worth worrying about. (And bells don't scare away black bears, obv..)

‘Infinite Jest,’ the Internet, and the Politics of Reading | Los Angeles Review of Books On the internet reception and collective reading of David Foster Wallace’s magnum opus, on the occasion of its 30th anniversary reissue.

I wrote about Infinite Jest’s wild 30-year journey online—from feminist YouTube stunts to sexist 4chan posts to Luigi Mangione’s Goodreads.

How far down the rabbit hole do DFW bros go? What do the memes reveal about our relationship to literature & the internet?

early view of my article is out! it explores the twinned ideologies of referentialism that often subtend language and "AI" and how those ideologies break apart in the R&D pipeline, where the social-pragmatic dimension of both speech + data come to the fore rai.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

the Boots Riley discourse on twitter isn't going far enough imo. if you're actually a leftist, you shouldn't even be *watching* movies and television. the only way to actually be a Marxist is to live in a big tank like a guild navigator in Dune so that you can spend 24 hours a day posting

What we lost when we lost Self magazine The almost 50-year-old publication was a lifeline for chronically ill readers.

After Condé Nast's decision to close SELF, I spoke to chronically ill women about what the women's health site meant to them.

"We have to acknowledge chronic illness as a politically, culturally, and socially marginalized category"

The interesting finding to me wasn't the primary one.

Decades of communication research show that opinions can be subtly shifted through exposure to information.

Apropos of nothing, I was just recalling how much Demi Moore's short, boyish haircut in "Ghost" broke my teenage brain, and that it took me decades to understand why.

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with

2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

I appreciate this model for being a researcher so much. It's why I don't care if someone thinks I spend too much time on the impacts of my work or listening to what students and activists tell me are problems with higher ed.
