It forces us to question our idealizations and grapple with the complexities of gendered power."
Ann Gleig and Amy Langenberg on why we need more scholars of religion:

Why is ICE buying so many warehouses, and what does this have to do with the warehouse's shifting place in the US economy? In Places Journal, I chronicle the long arc of Warehousing's carceral geography and the speculative building boom that ICE is absorbing. placesjournal.org/article/the-...
This song is probably my favorite thing he’s ever done, and this live version with the kids is fantastic: youtu.be/5o25BpPmqOU?...
Everyday is a good day for a Cornershop deep dive! (TBH, I’ve never actually heard the fat boy slim version, I was never super into him and never bothered.) Tjinder is a great and unappreciated songwriter. That whole record and the one after it are fantastic.
I don’t know Siavash personally but we are technically labelmates and I love his work. I hope he and everyone around him are ok.
Happy Ruination Day to all who celebrate.
Sunday's Chicago Tribune includes a story I wrote about the Marx Brothers' formative years living in Chicago. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/04/12/m...
An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
Read this the day it came out and I gotta say that all the good reviews of Rockhill pointing out his entire project is bonkers have come out months after all the bad reviews (written by his friends) were released and Rockhill ran a media blitz on (nominally) leftwing media
A lot of my sense of political life has been founded on opposition to Western military adventures in the Middle East. That's three decades or so of hating this, maybe not much but not nothing either. Even relative to all that - this latest war in Iran may just be the worst. Certainly the stupidest.
Everybody should always tell everybody all the cool things they’ve done and have going on!
"Pentagon To Host Good Friday Service Just For Protestants, Not Catholics"
As the pope becomes more openly critical of Trumpism, apparently we're bringing the 16th century wars of religion back.
NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel.
Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...
Using Spotify is just as bad as using X, in some aspects, even more consequential: Spotify is actively killing music, not just exploiting musicians. All other streaming platforms are better, and have as wide a choice. Migrating your playlists is dead easy. Please leave that evil platform - now.
The real banger in this is the coinage of the term "epistemia," for something that has the surface appearance of knowledgeability & plausibility but no actual verification or expertise. Gonna get a lot of use, connecting the dots between bullshit, technochauvinism, & epistemic/hermeneutic injustice.
A beautiful gray soft-coated Wheaton Terrier and Poodle mix named Gracie celebrating her 10th birthday.
Hey everyone it’s my dog Gracie’s 10th birthday today and she is the best. She went on two hikes today, got a ton of presents from friends in the neighborhood, had a pup cup, a baked chicken breast—and found a deer leg in the woods that she chewed for quite a while before I could get it off her.
I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.
Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.
Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.
Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.
