My book _Traces of the Prophets: Relics and Sacred Spaces in Early Islam_ is finally coming out in a much-more-reasonably-priced paperback in December. And you can take 30% off that with this discount code. Reviewers are calling it “good” etc

I try to explore more recent metal bands but I gotta be honest, with the exception of a very few select bands I just like the old stuff (Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) more

If you haven't read Inkface by Miles Grier you're missing the best treatments of Othello (and Shakespeare in general) in living memory bookshop.org/p/books/inkf...
I was ready to go UP for Cynthia Erivo in Othello with David Oyelowo (and I still am) but I thought she would be playing Iago. It's alright, but she would eat that for the record

on the drive to family for T-giving, I went straight from Someday My Prince Will Come to the 1964 Phil Hall concert. I recommend that because it can reintroduce you to how revelatory the Herbie/Ron/Tony rhythm section was at the time.
NEW THEORY: the guy who shouts in response to one of Miles’s phrases on the 1964 Philharmonic Hall performance of “Stella By Starlight” was, in fact, shouting “Stellaaaaa!” because he thought it would be fun to do a Stanley Kowalski

We're seeing some confusion about this, so let's talk about it.
Home Depot has been complicit as ICE snatches day laborers out of parking lots. At minimum Home Depot is turning a blind eye, and there have also been rumors they may be more actively complicit. Organizers including #weaintbuyingit 🧵

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

misleading headline from Reuters. farther down in the article there is mention of former “DOGE” officials being repurposed into other parts of the federal govt.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Congrats to everyone who covered the obviously bad faith, unprecedentedly illegal, & wildly unconstitutional data theft & dismantling of the federal government by a billionaire criminal Nazi & his henchmen as a legitimate process of “government efficiency.” Truly, well done.

so I’m working my way through season 4 of STRANGER THINGS because the 12yo is into the show and the spouse finally convinced me to give it another shot after I declared I was quitting the show after season 3. the use of Philip Glass’s Akhenaten in a key sequence in season 4 is 🤯🔥

My little city has a lot of love. It’s nice to get some goodwill from folks elsewhere, too. I really appreciate someone so thoughtful—and I really mean thinks about people and place and love with attention and insight—thinking of us.
