Literary critic in a library. Scholarly publishing, egoism, manifestos, and modernism. My book, The Ego Made Manifest, is available from Bloomsbury. Views my own and mostly on the other one.

This might be the last hurrah for my book, as the paperback is now out! I had absolutely no luck getting it reviewed anywhere, so here is my last ditch attempt to market my odd book about Max Stirner, modernism and manifestos:

Nice to be recognised for "Research Paper of the Year" by the AI in Education podcast. So strange to see this paper doing the rounds with my name on it. Such a diverse group of contributors from pro-AI educationalists to—me! All great friends and minds though!

Kind of throws the whole @natureportfolio.nature.com Scientific Reports review process in question
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Hello @springernature.com - you’ve just published another bit of nonsense in Scientific Reports 🙁
Uhh,,, Figure 1 shows you... what exactly? Trying to understand Medical fryrmbial, runctitional features and mum's legs going through concrete.

This whole article is a bit of a disaster. And it's very difficult to find other published work for the author. Strange! 🧪

Amused to view an academic article and see that the journal it's in abbreviates its own name to "New Global Stud"

(it's New Global Studies. The abbreviation barely saves any space at all! But it's funny so I'll allow it)

Why read Lacan, why learn all these super-subtle forms of ideological critique, when the big guy is out there posting diarrhoea jet fighter videos. What are we doing here.
