Huh? When I entered my PhD program (to be a Descartes scholar!) this was the dominant interpretation of the cogito--doubting my existence requires me exist to do the doubting, therefore I exist. I doubt the scholarship changed that much 20 years later!

I'm breaking my Twitter fast to share this for friends and admirers of Helen De Cruz (formerly @helenreflects on here). She been a shining light in our field for so long. This looks like a wonderful way to celebrate her life.

I really should have left long ago, but didn't want to leave the friends I had here. I just can't justify it anymore. I may lurk, but don't want a single cent of mine going to Musk. Thanks for the good times, friends. Bye.

I had a response paper on porn in AJP once. One reviewer recommended publishing, while the other leveled every invective at me they could think of short of cursing my family for three generations. Rejected.

Of course not. You just write a logical axiom and ask if there are any questions. If the answer is no, then you dismiss class. That's how it's done.

It boggles my mind too. I keep seeing people reference the clip of John McCain calling Barack Obama a "good man" in a town hall without realizing that this was an extreme outlier moment for a GOP that was obsessed with the Clinton body Count, birtherism, and overt racism.

I understand the desire for comeuppance, but realizing that real people would be hurt by this should override that initial desire. Just don't treat people like collateral damage to get back at someone else!

American politics is like if Cha Cha Slide was playing and got stuck skipping on “Slide to the right!” for all of eternity.

Seems? Perhaps, but we all KNOW that the correct ranking is: 1) Suicide 2) Masturbation 3) Murder

Shrek Studies. I know that it sounds like a humanities topic, but it has a place in all disciplines.

According to Letterboxd I still have quite a few blindspots--I'm 14/30!

Yay! Such a great film. As for The Canyons, it was definitely better than it's reputation, though I did greatly prefer Light Sleeper of the two new Schraders I watched this week.

I'm going through the films leaving the Criterion Channel at the end of the month.
