New Crime Fiction Revolution just dropped. I wanted to talk about the ethics of comics performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, comedy festival, but instead I spent most of it complaining about how I’ve never received the Nobel peace prize.

I just read this story. Stunning.

Reckon Review @reckonreview.bsky.social · Sep 1

Meagan here. Every piece that we post at Reckon is our favorite. Every piece is exceptional. This one though. Shoo. This one took the air out of my chest; left me staring at the wall a bit. Please head over to Reckon and read "Working Title No. 6" by Nathan Willis.

This made me cry. In just 600 words, this story touches on so many of the things I've been thinking about as a parent living in the US. All the meanings of war, all the gardens that have become cemeteries.

The University of Chicago will not be admitting new PhD students in English, nor in almost any humanities field, this year. What a loss to our discipline! What a disservice to talented students everywhere!

More UChicago Ph.D. Programs Will Pause Admissions

The arts and humanities dean said “nearly all” faculty leaders preferred “a broader pause for the division.” Some social sciences programs also aren’t accepting new students.

Even as an admitted Marvel stan, I still can’t get over how much I loved the new Superman. Even after seeing it a month ago. They did such a great job with the character.

It is so cool to see engaging, fun Superman and Fantastic Four movie released within weeks of each other. SUCK IT SCORSESE (I know you’re reading this).
