Honey, look at the gorgeous new edition of one of my favorite books, yes, JACK THE MODERNIST by Robert Gluck with those lovely ladies lounging on the mesmerizing cover, yes, it's stunning!!👠🔥 Out on October 28th from @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

Book cover with a painting of a naked guy lounging odalisque-style, covering his crotch with his hand but then there he is on the side again, this time without the hand covering, or maybe that's someone else, a city in the middle, his hand reaching over, an ornamental railing, lovely green in the top right, faces with big eyes and pronounced noses to evoke a particular painter that I can't quite place

This is a must read to understand the context of Britain's universities and their finances.

ICYMI on Tuesday, here's my *new* and *free* short-form summary of what's gone wrong in our universities. This is something of a last word really, because unless the Budget and White Paper do something really radical, the fate of much HE is already sealed.

Where now for Britain’s Universities?

UK higher education now faces a very bleak future, retreating in the face of little public sympathy and limited political interest.

I'd rather talk about music by ppl who live in my actual world, who I can go hear without paying exorbitant ticket prices. Who make music that connects to my life. This new @junglist.bsky.social album, for example. It slaps. hannahaccount.bandcamp.com/album/echo-w...

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization
