Update on this - I sent the book proposal out! đŸ˜±

So many shouts to @katinalynn.bsky.social for her help workshopping my work through the process. It really helped take an idea and a frustration and turn it into something that felt fleshed out and fulfilling to think about.

good morning Art Review
"Kornbluh has done better than almost anyone in recent memory to define the elusive, claustrophobic spirit of the age and get started on excavating its cultural subterranea."

"Can you imagine? Trying to hollow out the arts and humanities? In the UK, where it’s one of the few things we’re good at? (No offence, scientists: you’re good too.) You don’t have to imagine it – you can see it."

For those who have asked: a huge f*cking alligator is reading the audiobook of Absolution in hisses and growling coughs. Just deal with it, okay. It's the end times. Listen to mah audiobook of grunts and clucks for 50 hours, okay? Just do it.

The latest goings-on in the Weird Barbie basement window diorama (Dundas St., Toronto) It's hard to photograph in the sunny weather, but . . . it's most definitely a coffee bar now, and Ken appears to have been hired as the hipster barista. It looks like a nice place to hang out quite honestly.

I was prepared to doubt the replicating gesture of the take-down here, and indeed some quotations are exaggerated; but the research and thought here are incredible and indeed seem conclusive.

This is excellent, not only on Lavender which you’ve likely been reading about, but on the discourse machine around AI, and how default modes of critique actually feed back into what Baker terms “objectivity theater.”

The Israeli army "gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender’s kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices...human personnel often served only as a 'rubber stamp' for the machine’s decisions" www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-...

The most important thing the far right came to learn about US politics is that the path to power goes through one of the two major parties. They built a lot of momentum for their cause by running against "the uniparty," but they produced Trumpism by playing the long game inside county & state GOPs.

Barth is someone whose writing meant a lot to me at one point in my life, if for nothing else than teaching me that a historical novel didn’t need to be stuffy he leaves a broader legacy than many people might know—one of the literary grandfathers or great-grandfathers of a lot of writers today

Two weeks ago, I found out my position at St. Norbert College had been eliminated due to budget cuts: one of 21 faculty positions (13 in the humanities) eliminated at the college so far this year. I was under tenure review, and now I'm not. I have until May, and then my contract will be done.
