This is what I’m talking about! Our institutions should be doing the work for us and not leaving us to jury rig together the collapsing infrastructure around us. More of this. chicagomaroon.com/53262/news/s...

It's not that easy to write a back-cover blurb for a dazzling book. But what this blurb suggests (and other similar ones, which repeatedly made the novel totally uninteresting to me) is very misleading. The book cover design and the critics' quotations (in aggregate) are definitely more helpful.

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

Romànic Català

El romànic apareix on menys t'ho esperes 😮. Acompanya'm a visitar la Col·lecció Casacuberta Marsans, al carrer de la Palla número 21 de Barcelona. 📹 Si arribes al final del vídeo veuràs com el romànic català i el barroc del Segle d'Or es troben gràcies al cubisme. Increïble però cert!

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

“hi ha una cosa primordial en el fet de voler cuinar cada dia com un esforç personal, cultural i col·lectiu, de salvaguarda. De la mateixa manera que ara ens omplim cada dia la boca de parlar català i de no deixar de parlar català, això és el mateix.”

A year ago, my friend Alexandra Bellow died: a Romanian mathematician, former wife of Saul Bellow, and an extraordinary woman who was in love with Don Quixote until her very last day. I wrote this small tribute in the days just after her death. www.guernicamag.com/three-pages-...

guernicamag.comThree Pages of Don QuixoteHere was a woman who had lived through a dictatorship, been through three marriages, and built a brilliant career in a relentlessly male-dominated field. And she was happy.
