The cover of my book 'Epistemic Injustice: An Introduction' with the title, my name, and the Routledge logo in white, on a multicoloured image of a diverse group of people, each a different colour and overlapping with the others, all talking.

Wikipedia wants you to know that John Maynard Keynes is not the lead vocalist of Tool. Just in case you were confused.
Wikipedia page for Maynard James Keenan. It starts with "Not to be confused with John Maynard Keynes. Maynard James Keenan (born James Herbert Keenan; April 17, 1964) is an American singer, songwriter, philanthropist, record producer, and winemaker. He is best known as the singer and primary lyricist of the rock bands Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer.

'Melun, Daybreak.' (c1860) Henry Mark Anthony was amongst the first artists to introduce plein air painting to England and was hailed as the heir to John Constable. He often used dramatic sunrise and sunset effects and stormy skies and seas as the subjects of his paintings.

In Glasgow, and someone has subtly trolled me by stacking the handbook next to ‘The Midnight Library’. Devastating 😭
A stack of books including the Oxford Handbook of Social Epistemology, Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library, and Chitra Ramaswamy’s wonderful Homelands

Do the Meg next

Via Pitch Meeting, I have just learned that the Meg films are actually based on books. The first in the series is called 'Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror'. One of the sequels is called 'Meg: Hell's Aquarium'.
Fictional horror writer Garth Marenghi saying “I know writers who use subtext, and they’re all cowards.”

Yeah, I take the point - I like to rant again the 'Austin's not in Texas, it's just surrounded by it' BS, since in lots of ways it very much is *in* Texas. This is one of them. It does fit into ongoing concerns about how the institution has handled those pressures recently though.

🚨🚨 @utaustin.bsky.social is working to eliminate its Black studies, Latin studies, and gender studies depts -- utterly reneging on its mission and depriving students of the full educational opportunities they deserve. Please--scholars AND publishers--share & write to UT leaders. #SaveUT

Did you ever manage to see the Jeff Buckley film? I haven't seen any sign of any showings in the UK yet, sadly.
