I always enjoy the Toronto Fringe, but "Iris (says goodbye)" truly deserves the title of Fringe magic -- a wonderfully dynamic musical, polished to a high shine. Not to be missed!

I'm going to query in the more traditional way too, of course, but I thought this was worth a try!

Hi folks! Would any early modern journal editors be interested in a review of the Kenneth Branaugh "King Lear" or the Kit Connor/Rachel Ziegler "Romeo and Juliet"? Two fascinating interpretations!

What a wonderful reading from Red Bull Theatre -- Barabas came to life as a sympathetic scapegoat before he descended into being a cartoonish villain, and that gave him a nice complexity.

I'm sitting in the one-night-only Red Bull Theater reading of #JewofMalta, wondering how many familiar faces from #SAA2025 I'm about to see!

What a joy to take part in the "Intimate Knowledges" #RenSA2025 roundtable and the "Personation" #SAA2025 seminar -- such rich conversations. Very grateful to the organizers and my fellow participants (& our auditors!) for their intellectual generosity

Friends, does anyone have access to Shakespeare Studies 52 and would be willing to send me a pdf of my article? They published my NextGenPlen paper on "personation" from two years ago and I'm keen to relive those glory days! #Shax2025 #RenSA2025 #RSA2025

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones.

Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

AI search engines cite incorrect sources at an alarming 60% rate, study says

CJR study shows AI search services misinform users and ignore publisher exclusion requests.

Just saw someone on tumblr wryly note that pop sci has made dopamine, serotonin cortisol and adrenaline into the four humors.

Ouch

This brings me so much joy -- the Topsell is wonderful and the artistry of these animals is amazing

Today we got to visit the rare book that this project is inspired by! Anyway, I have now paraded the little winged dragon past his own illustration in Topsell's History of Four Footed Beasts!

Stunning development in scholarly publishing. NYPL will be digitizing "entire out-of-print backlists" of multiple academic presses and making them available.

The Scholarly Press Backlist Revival project shows a striking thoughtfulness in overcoming perceived and real IP and contractual barriers.

For all the Shakespeareans looking for a poem with which to begin their classes:

Fuck / Shakespeare
BY INUA ELLAMS
And another thing / the grace you brought Othello / how you forged that moor / got him talking down his eloquence as if his tongue wasn’t part swan feather / part molasses / how you wrote a church of darkness steepled by Iago / and Ol’ Thello its soul / beacon of honor and light / Bruh / that shit literary fire / race-theory brimstone / middle-passage gold

but /

how you played Caliban / his tongue as Othello’s / and just as wronged / How you imbibed him with / emblemed him of colonized peoples / got me all riled up / imagining my ancestor’s vengeance / a rough blade thrust through Prospero’s proud heart / but you didn’t / Play ends / Cali still enslaved / Bruh / that shit fucked
