Thompson, Roger Chartier + more

I am convinced people do not know the plot of the movie black panther.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

2024 me: “man, I should have been smarter with my money, I shouldn’t have bought a PS5 and 3070Ti in 2022/2023.”

2026 me: “oh thank fuck for my stupidity.”

One way to look at tonight's events: The Raiders spent $281.5M in free agency to build up their team... and just acquired one of the best pass-rushers of the last decade in Maxx Crosby.

Professor Sydney Engelberg, was unfazed when a student's baby began crying in class. The embarrassed mom stood up to leave, but Engelberg scooped the kid up and soothed him in his arms without missing a beat in the lesson. Professor Engelberg allows mothers who attend his masters' lectures to bring their children and even breastfeed. No mother should have to choose between a child and an education.

We desperately need feel-good stories as the world burns.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Cover of I’ll Samba Someplace Else: A Spatial History of Race, Ethnicity, and Displacement in São Paulo by Andrew G. Britt. The cover features a yellow and orange duotone of a crowd of people walking down a dirt road. This photograph overlays a yellow and orange map that is fully visible in the top right corner. A circle appears on the right side, inverting the image, making the yellow map orange. The title is written in a bold white aligned left. The subtitle is directly below in a smaller white font, separated from the title by a thick yellow line. The author’s name is in the top left in a burnt orange.

"I’ll Samba Someplace Else" by Andrew G. Britt charts how spatial projects sustain popular ideologies of post-racialism despite enduringly high levels of racialized inequity in Brazil and beyond. Read the intro for free now: buff.ly/LipCcpS

NFL going out of their way to force-schedule 3 games on Christmas Day featuring 5 of the best teams last year only to end up with matchups with 5 teams whose season is already over and will be starting backups is the holiday spirit we all needed

probably not a great sign that Clelin Ferrell, elevated to active roster in mid-November, leads the team in sacks

The touchdown that never was....

Feel free to hand this to all of the Rams fans crying foul over the 2 point conversion.

They made a desert and called it a job market.

The five-paragraph essay apparently emerged in the US in the 1950s and was already getting lambasted by prominent critics and scholars in the early 1970s. It's always illuminating to see how long we've fought the same fights....

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
