. @S_DeGooyer reflects on how a new history of the "Hobo" broadened her image from "jumbled and wrong . . . cultural references" to that of a "highly skilled seasonal laborer": books.substack.com/p/review-… @PrincetonUPress
Really a joy to write for Book Post about a fascinating unknown (to me) history.

FIFA sources confirm there is no mechanism to appeal a World Cup red card in their Disciplinary Code. Which seems quite surreal. But it means Balogun will not be able to play Belgium.

What is “AI literacy” when the whole point of these tools is that you don’t need literacy - they do the work?
Jessica Winter has been raising her children to detest A.I. Then her daughter’s public middle school began receiving Google Chromebooks, which came pre-installed with an all-ages version of Gemini, a suite of A.I. tools. “When my daughter, who is in sixth grade, begins writing an essay, she gets a prompt: ‘Help me write,’ ” Winter writes. “If she is starting work on a slide-show presentation, the prompt is ‘Help me visualize.’ She shoos away these interruptions, but they persist: ‘Help me edit.’ ‘Beautify this slide.’ ”
Proponents of generative A.I. in elementary and middle schools argue that such early exposure will foster digital-media literacy, and prepare them for a future in which most professions are steeped in A.I. But the technology also poses significant cognitive and social-emotional risks to young people. Read Winter’s report about A.I.’s infiltration into schools—and what it could mean for young minds: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/NS…

“I usually never let myself look at stories after they’re published, because I know I’ll regret things, but here I was finally giving myself the chance to just dig in. It was almost so pleasurable as to be suspect.” The professor Stephanie DeGooyer speaks with Rachel Aviv about reworking some of her most famous essays, years after they were first published. buff.ly/p5fcako
I kept trotting to the sidelines of my workout class today to check the score. After yesterday’s upset(s), I just couldn’t trust the expected…
What a gift to talk with @RachelAviv, a writer I’ve long admired. She is gracious and generous, and you can completely understand why people are so unusually open with her - and willing to trust her with their archives. Read her new book!

John Roberts quoting Arendt‘s “right to have rights” today! This is not the first time a CJ has quoted her w/out acknowledgment. In 1958, Chief Justice Earl Warren invoked her phrase in Perez v. Brownell w/out citation (though we have a paper trail that shows he had read her).
One of the best things about being in Norway for a week of the World Cup was the absence of David Beckham ads. Americans seem to only know Pulistic and Beckham.
Ugh, let this match so far be a lesson that my bracket should be about who I love and not who I think will win.

A sneak peek at our summer issue! Inside: unpublished Annie Ernaux journals (plus a print-exclusive piece), essays by Namwali Serpell and Samuel Moyn, and a folio, “What Was AI?”—because by the time you read this, the answer will have changed. Subscribe: shop.yalereview.org/products…

I just paid 30 dollars to see my 13 year old play basketball.

Wish I was back in the city and could resuscitate a lecture series at a funeral home I used to run: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonli….
Nightlife in nyc is shifting from alcohol-induced socializing to activities that combine connection with intellectual interest.
Out: clubbing, drinking games, bars without themes.
In: lectures at bars, philosophy clubs, board game nights, reading meetups.
Gen Z'ers are paying $40 a ticket to attend these things.
Someone is going to build a massive platform aggregating these activities for the next generation.
