A huge loss for the DH community. Scott is truly irreplaceable as a scholarly collaborator and as a friend.

I've seen enough. Raphael Warnock (D) defeats Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) in GA's special Senate runoff. #GASEN

Lots of great, short pieces in @mattrubery and Christopher Cannon's "Aurality and Literacy" forum in PMLA. The asynchronous two-track discussion of sound & speed from @maramills and @jonathansterne is one highlight.

[Matt Rubery @mattrubery]

Our PMLA forum on “Aurality and Literacy” is now live and open access: https://t.co/E5tLVTDKs3. Hot takes from @hashtagoras @scott_trudell @maramills @jonathansterne @JimEnglishPenn & others.

Urgent! UPenn is looking to hire a Japanese studies librarian as soon as possible!

If they don't hire someone in the next 10 days or so, the position might become subject to a hiring freeze.

Please share widely.

Another reason to be alarmed by anti-vaxxers like our President: new study (still a preprint) finding evidence that countries w universal TB vaccination (BCG vaccine) have much lower rates of death from Covid-19 https://t.co/HGwC3KKcqy. (USA being a non-BCG country like Iran)

@YasminGun One misses both of these brilliant minds, their resonant voices, the radical culture authority they were able to deploy.

I just really think I'd be getting more done in an alternate timeline.

“It is very hard to believe an argument that literature is singularly complex, that only in the case of literature there can be no quantitative research.” Indeed. @fotisja in CA

@PennPriceLab Brilliant defense of an outstanding dissertation on Sound Labs and the birth of the poetry audio archive.

@saikatc @ltthompso @AOC Everything leaks, This is why social media was invented. So one can burn in their own fire. Words has no meaning it's just a marketing tool for fools. Dollas -Dollas bro is what matters in America. Do you call income inequality working for the Swamp.

[Jim English @JimEnglishPenn]

Great to see @LBMcGrath’s pathbreaking research on racial bias in the comparables used by the book publishing industry in determining acquisitions.

No Lit prize on the menu at the Nobel Banquet this Monday. My take on the Swedish Academy's epic fail in 2018:

Great piece by @TedUnderwood to kick off @RichardJeanSo 's new DH section in @PublicBooks: To prepare students for a world where information is filtered by computers, we will need a stronger alliance between the humanities and math. https://t.co/41XPRbvlzl

[Jim English @JimEnglishPenn]

Nine months away, but if you’re a Humanities grad student located in the northeast, Penn’s summer 2019 DH training week might be worth penciling onto your calendar. We have lined up some really outstanding instructors and courses. ⁦@PennPriceLab⁩ https://t.co/ZpwDDTJeGM

look at the great stuff forthcoming in @CulturalAnalyt --required reading for cultural sociologists as well as literary DHers

[Jim English @JimEnglishPenn]

Glad to see @pmlogan and @templedsc advertising this open field job in digital literary studies. This will be another addition to the steadily expanding, collegial group of DH faculty in Philly.
