Hey folks! I'm really excited to be part of the latest issue of Imaginations: Journal of Cross-Cultural Image Studies!

Here is a Creative Labour Critical Futures blog discussing the publication:

That birthday letter I sent to Jeffrey Dahmer saying "will always remember the delightful meals we had together"? People shouldn't read too much into that. There's an innocent explanation.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:

Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;

Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

Cowardice: I’m scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with my GOP colleagues;

Moral rot: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.

Talks to address Iran’s nuclear program were planned for Sunday. Instead Netanyahu launched illegal strikes on Iran, killing a top ceasefire negotiator, undermining U.S. diplomatic efforts & putting countless innocent lives at risk. We can’t be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

That’s my Orlando Congressman @MaxwellFrostFL! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼This insufferably divisive and toxic speech must be rejected in every way.

Elon Musk is hiding this video of Bill Burr ripping him apart.

So don't RT it.

Or do if you don't like Elon Musk.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Worth noting the general silence of liberals on this, despite being a massive attack on the supposed principles of the liberal international order. Or do they think the suburbs of Damascus are also Hamas ruled?

[George Wallace @MrGeorgeWallace]

Get this shit going y'all. Cut and paste.

In light of our country's current trajectory, I, ___________, hereby confirm that I will never jump and/or fall out of a window. Any such incident should be immediately viewed as some fascist bullshit and whatnot.

On this day in 1942, mobs of local white residents threatened and harassed Black families moving into new housing in Detroit. Many of these families had fled racial violence and inequality in the rural South, in a wave known as the Great Migration.

I want to note that it should be the educational professionals, not politicians, who decide how to measure student achievement. It’s a…multi-faceted & multi-year process to create these assessments, & it should be left to those who have dedicated their lives to the practice.

I call it "Failed State"

HBD to the ravishing high fashion model and actress Marisa Berenson, BOTD in 1947, turning 78 today. She made her mark in a trio of masterpieces in the first half of the 70's - Visconti's "Death in Venice" (1971), Fosse's "Cabaret" (1972), and Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon (1975)

Far from handing control of the government to “the American people” as he once promised, Donald Trump has handed it to a single, particularly incompetent billionaire: Elon Musk.

Do us a solid and RT this because the good Mr. @elonmusk nukes posts that have a link in them

🚨NEWS: A temporary order has been issued blocking the Labor Dept. from sharing any data with DOGE, after a group of unions, including AFGE, sued DOGE and held a major protest outside DOL yesterday.

Here's the union's email:

[Avi Asher-Schapiro @AASchapiro]

The names of those working in the Trump admin with close ties to Musk have leaked out gradually over the last weeks.

We are publishing 20+ names we can confirm independently.

Many of these have been published elsewhere—some are are being published here for the first time.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

WATCH: “You’re walking right into the trap.”

@karaswisher admonishes the media for continuing to say Elon/DOGE ‘may have a point’ that cuts should be made — as though any of this is being done in good faith, when it obviously isn’t 🎯

This movie we are all living in is very poorly written
