'69 Love Songs' is the Magnetic Fields' LP that is justifiably lionized as a big conceptual swing, but 1995's New Order-On-A-Fostex-4-Track 'Get Lost' is the great LP of theirs that I turn to most . A counter-factual history of indie-rock where Roxy Music replaces rock. A prayer.

I don’t agree but I do think what made indie rock so fun 20 years ago is that it was so willing to be bad. There was some total dogshit. No half stepping, full fake accents and ironic cowbell, a lot of it was fun even when it sucked.

so much modern “indie rock” is so bland and recycled and boring

I’m sad about Hampshire because I fundamentally believe in a good liberal arts education and that that kind of education is both about being rigorous and taking risks. We lose something fundamental when we lose the risk. Where is our laboratory for pedagogy in the humanities?

A reminder that in the 2009 movie “Knowing”, Nicholas Cage flashes an MIT badge that simply reads “Academic.”

@TwinkTheory When I saw that she had done a piece on my beloved Dungeons & Dragons, it was like opening Twitter to see Isaac Chotiner had interviewed Andy Samberg or something. “What?!” “WHY???” “Nononono…!” (The D&D piece was lovely)

There's no AP credit available for shop classes, so lots of kids have to give up something they're really good at to keep their college applications competitive.
I got an amendment included in the LHHSE Appropriations bill to expand options for college credit for technical classes like welding and woodworking, and I'll continue engaging with the Dept. of Education to keep the ball rolling.

Hey. Remember that time when the Panama Papers came out and the only thing that happened was Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia, one of the journalists who worked to expose the financially and politically powerful, ended up assassinated while the rest of the world shrugged and moved on?
