My monograph "Shadow of the New Deal" was recognized by five book awards in 2024, and it's on end-of-year Kindle sale today! amazon.com/Shadow-New-Deal-B…

UPDATE: yesterday @routledgebooks @tandfonline told all staff that it's extra important to meet 2024 targets as they have promised the LLM companies a quota of books for them to digest to train their AIs. So if your editor is pushing you to meet that deadline, this is why!
Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

Is there anything I can say to get you to chip in $3?
What if I told you Ted Cruz won by just 2.6% in 2018? Or that CNN says he's the most vulnerable GOP Senator in the country?
How about this: We're officially TIED in the polls. Would you give just $3 to help me pull ahead?

Friends, my article “Falling Down and Apart: Post-Orientalism and Iranian American Identity in Sons and Other Flammable Objects” in @MELUS_Society is now live! Shoutout to @gary_totten for being a brilliant, kind, and patient editor!

I found out this morning that Fredric Jameson gave a year-long lecture series at U of T Comp Lit in 1977-78. The lectures were audio-recorded, and my colleague Bao digitized them and put them up on YouTube several years ago. Here you go: youtube.com/watch?v=HJBHWLLr…

RIP, Elizabeth Freeman, dearest Gletha. Thank you for everything you brought to this world, especially the curiosity, kindness and care beneath all that brilliance. (Photo from the only time I got both Beth & Lauren Berlant to karaoke with at the worst place in Boston, MLA 2013)

Thrilled to be attending & presenting 2 papers at the 2024 @Petrocultures conference at @USC!
Looking forward to the generative discussions we'll have over the next few days -- I'm so fortunate to work and learn from some of the world's leading scholars of energy & environment

The Alter-Petrocultures event is happening today. The team @IHG_Glasgow have put together an incredible program on infrastructural refusal in the context of campus protests, Palestine solidarity and calls for divestment. Come through if you’re in LA!

The Petrocultures 2024 conference in LA is excellent. I am earning lots from research presentations on energy, environment, technology, economics, politics, culture, media, and art. Had fun presenting "Hollywood Petrocultures / Hollywood After Oil". Big thanks to conf organizers.

Spotted this on campus loo door @RoyalHolloway. Use of definite article ‘the’ nest of bees intriguing - like this is our nest of visiting bee-fellows. A vision for campus biodiversity (presuming not part of site specific research by @sphaerularia or @ElliLeadbeater1 )

Polling has Ruben just three points shy of MAGA extremist Kari Lake. He is in the margin of error which means it’s still anyone’s race. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for Democrats, so can you chip in $10 and help Ruben fight back?

This is a very dark day. The vast majority of professional news we get on the genocide comes from Al Jazeera. US-backed Israel has killed many Al Jazeera journalists, and now is shutting the network out entirely. And what happens in the colonies will come to the metropole.
