$36 list price, $7.50 at the tail end of the #AWP23 conference with all these publishers and journals who don’t want to schlep their wares home. I grabbed a cab home after 3 days of busing, and the guy said some of his #AWP fares gifted him books.

This is wild. It’s like 8 or 10 rows of tables, and I’m going to want to take a close look at most of them! #AWP23

Friends, Elon sees Twitter as the “common digital town square,”but this “town" is not Our Town. It is Muskville. A public square isn't owned by billionaire megalomaniacs. It belongs to the people, ruled by democracy. Instead we obsess over a man we never elected to govern. [1/6]

The American obsession with the British monarchy makes me wonder how well Americans remember that whole thing where we fought a war not to be subjects of that monarchy anymore.

I like how we're supposed to believe these are both written by the same guy, back to back.
