do *you* have any recs for interviews that appear to have flown off the rails, esp. in ways that aren’t, like, author or interviewer bashing each other or elsewise reinscribing the toxicity of the work environment/context-at-large?

Cropped engraving with flap flapped open from Johann Remmelin's _Catoptrum microcosmicum_, presenting a limbless female torso wrapped in a sash. The uterine flap, opened up, displays a Medusa head with large pointed ears. Latin labels appear on parts throughout. Superimposed on the original engraving with corny period-ish fonts are the words "CFP RSA 2027" and "Gender Unruled"

makes me sad that this kind of research, not COVID or anything else, is going to be what drives people to get a better handle on the immune system and usher in a new medical history Era (this morning's depressing prophecy from your errant poet)

i can't imagine not offering a B.A. in philosophy. the field changed my life, as it has countless others. it's not reducible to self-help or theories of truth or speculation about how the mind works. at stake is what knowledge is (beyond epistemology) and what it means to us.

We (faculty at USC) took on an institutional behemoth with all the money and clout on earth, and we WON. We won our union. We're the biggest private-university faculty union in US history. Trying to make people care about this, challenge level IMPOSSIBLE

And even if we take this “correctly sexing people on sight“ seriously, which we should not, a 2-4% false positive rate over millions of people is a Huge number innit, we’re talking hundreds of thousands the EHRC head here is setting up to be judged trespassers for going to the “correct“ loo

"The Board of CPJ will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets." From Mohammed El-Kurd (editor-at-large at Mondoweiss.)

Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course. The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF. This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon. 2:52 PM · Jun 28, 2026 Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd NEW: Sources say that CPJ has put together a “special task force” to “reexamine the question of ‘Who is a Journalist?’” (direct language). The main objective of the task force is to explore excluding journalists working for “state-backed propaganda outlets and terror-affiliated organizations” from their database, as well as journalists who exhibit actions and behaviors that the organization finds to be discrediting. Essentially, CPJ is saying you’re not a journalist unless you’re politically aligned with us.
