To find out, we analyzed library borrowing patterns for every author in the Norton Anthology of American Literature (1945 to the Present).
Excited to share this new CHR paper & data!

Excited to be in Luxembourg at CHR 2025 to hear about everyone’s amazing work and to share my project with @mellymeldubs.bsky.social and our team. We tracked canonical authors and texts in Seattle Public Library circulation data.

The US Constitution has the feel of a fine colonial mansion now owned by a slum landlord who now rents it out room by room to wild-eyed misanthropic fanatics each with a messiah complex.
Ok, that is a VERY strained figure of speech. But I believe it to be accurate.

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

I am honestly having some trouble following “the health care industry is a huge powerful malevolent machine ripping off America and we want you to negotiate directly with it for your insulin.”
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

"So does that mean we'll need fewer managers?"
"Oh fuck no."
"Oh fuck no."
Hassett: "AI is making it so there's a great coach for every worker. So instead of having to get the supervisor to explain why the machine isn't working right, you can Google or AI it or ChatGPT & it tells you how to do it right away & you become more productive & it saves the supervisor time"

If you put powerful AI models directly into the hands of every American warrior, we are going to create so much porn. New frontiers of porn. Porn you haven't even imagined.
Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."
He says the military has launched a new platform that "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

2025 advent calendar. Day one.
You run downstairs, excited to open the first door. A voice in the back of your mind tries to tell you that you didn't actually buy an advent calendar this year—and this wasn't in the house when you went to bed last night—but you push that aside.
