Loving all the support from USWNT team players, past & present, for the USMNT. Hoping to see it reciprocated next summer!

The birthright decision coinciding with the once-every-four years’ discussion of citizenship qualification for the World Cup has made for some really interesting online discourse…
I interviewed Rachel Aviv for the Paris Review. She is gracious and generous, and you can completely understand why people are so unusually open with her - and willing to trust her with their archives. Read her new book! www.theparisreview.org/blog/2026/06...

John Roberts implicitly citing Hannah Arendt‘s “the right to have rights.” This is not the first time a CJ has quoted her without acknowledgment. In 1958, Chief Justice Earl Warren invoked the phrase in Perez v. Brownell without citation (though we have a paper trail that shows he had read her).
My friend and I have a little private chat “tell me you don’t understand soccer without telling me you don’t understand soccer“ for all the opportunistic soccer writing/’splaining we have seen this World Cup.

I‘m delivering a response to Teresa Bejan’s lecture on equality next week. The talk, entitled “First Among Equals: Redeeming Equality as a Political Ideal,” is part of the Adams symposium & previews her new book. I‘m looking forward to engaging her at UNC: humanities.unc.edu/event/the-ni...

I've always considered Rooney an intelligent reader/inheritor of 18c fiction, but this opinion strikes me as confused: "The novel is not a historically radical form. How do we go about trying to encode some sort of political radicalism in a form that seems to resist it in its generic tendency?"
Anyone else sense, in this new AI world, a turn from digital humanities to essential, irreducible value of what we do in humanities?
A lot of anger about treatment of U.S. women’s hockey team, understandably. The best thing right now is to go watch women’s sport. Go to a college, high school, or little league Game. Just show your support in person. It’s fun and it matters.
Brilliant piece, and a public service to put these foul and upsetting pieces together.
Elizabeth Lopatto@lopatto.bsky.social · 6mo agoI wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...
What has kept me up is that if Chomsky couldn‘t withstand the allure of wealth & power, who will be able to?
Stephanie DeGooyer@stephaniedegooyer.bsky.social · 6mo agoIt’s been an open secret about Chomsky & Epstein for awhile (WSJ reported two years ago), but I think many people will *finally* have to stop making exceptions for Chomsky now: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Noam Chomsky advised Epstein about 'horrible' media coverage, files show
The exchange was among the latest release of files from the US government's investigation into Epstein.

Really painful to bear witness to the pile up of layoffs being announced on X right now. Devastating loss of book section and global reporting at a moment when we couldn’t need it more…
My partner met Catherine O'Hara a few times backstage. One thing he noted about her was that she remembered everybody's name, including his, long after meeting. She was warm and excited to meet people even when the cameras were far away. RIP, to a Canadian Goddess.

Everyone read this and share it - Reece is the guy that literally wrote THE book on the history of the Border Patrol. I've been screaming that everyone needs to talk to him and read his book NOBODY IS PROTECTED for years. HAVE HIM ON YOUR SHOW.
"The Revolution to Come brilliantly reveals the genealogy of the modern concept of revolution. After it, the study of revolution will never look the same again," says @davidrarmitage.bsky.social for @historytoday.com. Read the full review of Dan Edelstein's new book here:

I wore my Roots sweatpants to the gym this morning and met four Canadians.
I thought this book was done and settled, but the wonderful Jeaninne DeLombard, whose work I admire, has taken the time to review it for Novel. She really gets the stakes of my book, esp. its interdisciplinary lens and her words are helpful as I write my new book. read.dukeupress.edu/novel/articl...

Thank you, Rebecca. There is no finer gift than that having one’s work read with critical attention. Can’t wait to read this -

Why don’t lit fields use the workshop model like law and history? I get so much more, and I think the audience does as well, from the workshop experience than from talking for 45 minutes and taking 10 minutes of random questions. Just had a fantastic experience at Duke Law and want to replicate.
I’m actually of the mindset that I wish Hollywood et al would find some new muses.
