I made a starter pack of my authors (and some other authors from fields like STS and comm) here @mitpress.bsky.social. Let me know if you want to be added, either because I missed you, or because you have a book you are interested in publishing!

@ibogost.com feels like something you’ve noticed too!
Was at car dealership today. Noticed something funny. The normal cars had door poppers and overwhelming screens. The $120,000 car had physical door handles and tons of buttons.
May be obvious but I speculated years ago this would happen. Electronics cheaper than craftsmanship, because it is.

Implication that Muggsy Bogues will be forgotten to history? I’d never accept that erasure
He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

This is one of the most interesting writing experiments I’ve done. I really like how it turned out, and I hope you do too!
