I press stuff. I do grad student stuff. I sleep six hours a week.

@philosophister do you happen to still have your slides on New Aesthetic from #4C16? I desperately need to quote one and my notes suck.

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

Philosophical Q: is a theatrical showing of Rocky Horror a "fan text?" What about [Movie X] with no fan practices? If yes, what's different?

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

Side effect of the "2016 is the worst year" meme: a lot of people are going to be really bummed when they realize nothing changes in 2017.

@BenMank77 - I just sent you a map of possible 271 without Wisconsin. Twice, in fact, also to @TheYoungTurks

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@BenMank77: can you get Cenk to stop saying the ONLY way to win for HRC is WI+MI? It's certainly the best, but not the only. IA+NV+MI (-WI)

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@TheYoungTurks: There's a path if Wisconsin falls, but it's a tremendous long shot (they're all long shots now).

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@TheYoungTurks: Cenk keeps saying Hillary absolutely needs WI and MI, but that's not true. She has one other path - NV, MI, and IA yield 271

@kvhuegel @republicwirelss - many people on social media, reddit, etc. reporting total outages. I even factory reset phone trying to solve!

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@republicwirelss Multiple users (myself included) reporting stuck in activation loop. Can't log in to accounts on website. Are servers down?

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

#cstheday - we've started taking this way too seriously.

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@csthedaygame - what about some top-level collector's challenges? Complete category? Complete year's deck?

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

Dig.Hum. friends: was asked where to send CFP last-minute for distance-accessible grad DH conf to reach disab/access grad scholars. Advice?

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@NCTE_CCCC 1) Is there going to be a phone app for the program and schedule again this year? 2) Is there any chance it's available yet?

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@jwluther I meant more the software stuff. I don't understand how he thinks - on another level from me.

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@jwluther sweet. He is a CompSci BS, and most of what he does is so out of my wheelhouse that I'm completely out of water.

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@jwluther Also, I have an MA colleague (software guy) who is looking for ENGL/game studies/DIY centric PhDs. Any recs?

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@jwluther I have some DIY going on in my early diss prep. We should talk soon.

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@jwluther as everyone specializes more and more, the notion of coursework eventually becomes prima facie absurd. But such is academia.

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@jwluther I survive. PhDs are HARD, man.

[Alex Nielsen @LetterpressAlex]

@jwluther absolutely. I have family in Portland who run a DIY collective and website. Wanna talk about community integration?
