Emily Wilson set the entire world to arguing how to properly interpret an ancient poem and a modern blockbuster but sure, this is a failure of public engagement.
Robert Borden Stan Account@bordenstan.bsky.social · yesterdayIf the academy gets pulled into coming out swinging against the biggest adaptation of Homer in probably a couple generations off the back of one prominent scholar deciding to be Reviewer 2 to Nolan's work, it will say, IMO, pretty damning things about academia's ability to foster public engagement.

Katie Drummond@katie-drummond.bsky.social · 8h agoNEW: Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit, AI-generated child sexual abuse material in recent months. Some as recently as this week. "These are ads that were reviewed, approved, and allowed to run by Meta, never encountering interference while the company collected the ad dollars."
this is truly motivating me to use inshallah even more than I already do after all it’s the faster and more fun way to say “if the good lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise,” speaking as someone with Southern roots.

“THAT’S THE BEST YOU GOT?” Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social reacts to Republicans using his full name in a clearly bigoted effort to gin up racist, Islamophobic fear around his candidacy.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
It's now official. The Democratic Party's progressive wing has scored a high-profile victory with Abdul El-Sayed winning Michigan's US Senate primary, giving its anti-establishment and anti-Israel message a boost ahead of November's midterm elections

G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 23h agoLooks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

go loud@stillicides.bsky.social · 24h agofinally read Black Flame by @scumbelievable.bsky.social and I think it has the most loving depiction of a fat person I have ever read? it is also vicious, violent, gross, sexy, uncomfortable, and triumphant. I loved it. if you've not read anything by her yet this is a great place to start, imo.
suspiciously green bananas is sadly one of the funniest things i’ve read in awhile
This is another way we live in rape culture; we live in a culture where we have to hear about monstrosity all the time. Sometimes I look at those top stories lists and wonder if I'm the only one who notices that two or three or four of the ten are about violence against women.

m@keptsimple.bsky.social · yesterdayMax Miller story is providing incredible cover for the 65 year old NC Republican congressman who was just found to have been texting his female staff shit like "I had to leave the party because you brought your bf with you 🥺"
if you’re worried it’s too late: it’s not. go do it
we need to stop rewarding the worst people for being their worst selves, man.
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
