The greatest modern heir to the ancient poetic traditions of allusion, shared reference, and reimagining archetypal characters and situational stakes — what we see in Aeschylus, Euripides, Catullus, Ovid, etc. — is the collected literature on AO3.

it’s good when novels are huge and long and even occasionally boring, it’s fundamentally a durational form

Genuinely embarrassing that no senior leaders I interact with actually read anything (yes this also applies to Biden appointees). No one responds to emails, no one reads past two sentences, no one does anything. The rest of the Pentagon follows along.

Die Schüler*innen des 5. Belgrader Gymnasiums haben vorhin zur physischen Blockade der Schule aufgerufen, weil die kommissarische Direktorin (deren Amtszeit abgelaufen ist) gegen Schüler*innen und Lehrkräfte vorgeht, die sich kritisch äußern und Eltern hindert, das Gebäude zu betreten. #Serbien

The psychology that twists coverage in Trump’s favor is transparent, once you accept that psychology plays a role. They want to be perceived as neutral by their peers, and they know their peers suspect them of anti-Trump bias. So they demonstrate independence by scrutinizing Dems and praising Trump.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Ok, this isn't really unhinged, it's just obvious: Modernism is incredibly easy to teach. (It's all written for seminar discussion.) Popular fiction (Colleen Hoover; James Patterson; Lessons in Chemistry) is incredibly hard to teach.
