@WalterSimonson Extraordinary!

The Battle of Muspelheim. Finished pencils. Thankfully. 😃 61.5 x 40. 2024. I realized after I posted the last 'finished' pencil version that I hadn't included Beta Ray Bill. So now he's in. The drawing is a commission so not for sale.

@zephoria Congratulations, danah!

Personal update: I'm joining Cornell as a Professor of Communication starting in Fall of 2025. ::bounce:: If you're curious about my thinking, see: zephoria.org/thoughts/archi…

My deepest thanks to everyone who worked on the series - all the contributors, the wonderful editors of Cultural Studies @striphas & @nechchai , @Orsod_Malik & @HarrietFleuriot from the Foundation, + Bill Schwarz & @livsovik for starting the conversation. stuarthallfoundation.org/stuart-hall/st…

(1/3) I'm delighted to share info about the 2nd of 3 faculty openings in the Dept of Media Studies, Univ of CO Boulder. If you're focusing on ENVIRONMENTAL MEDIA, please consider applying. It's a tenured or tenure-track OPEN-RANK search: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail…

@shapirostephen @angelamcrobbie All this then raises the Q: what happened? Why the initial connection…and then distance…or circumspection?

Frederic Jameson (1934-2024) may not have identified w/ cultural studies, but his ideas, teachings, and writings were certainly adjacent. He's left an indelible mark on the field. Thank you, Fred. Here's his 1993 review of the Cultural Studies "doorstop" jstor.org/stable/466353

Even better news (2/2): this is the first of THREE faculty positions for which my department will be hiring this year. Still to come: an open-rank tenured or tenure-track position; and an assistant teaching professor position. I'll post the details as soon as I have them!

Good news (1/2): the Department of Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder is hiring a tenure-track assistant professor in the area of technology, justice, and equity. Learn more about the position and apply here: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail…

Have I told you that I have a FABULOUS department? I do. And guess what? We are HIRING. Assistant Professor in Technology, Justice, and Equity. Applications due October 31. jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail…

#OnThisDay in 1921 Raymond Williams was born in Pandy, a small farming village in the foothills of the Black Mountains in south east Wales

@MarcusBreen1 Watch out for all those Marxist 2nd grade teachers. And don't forget about that cabal secretly running your university's business school

Rubbish from a false heritage.

@David_Gunkel @JWI_Berlin It's a really good time to revisit & revise Flusser's essay

Wittgenstein #remix Part of my presentation "Does Writing Have a Future? (with apologies to Vilém Flusser). Happening later today during the "LLMs and the Patterns of Human Language Use" workshop. Weizenbaum Institute. @JWI_Berlin denkwerkstatt.berlin/LLMs-in-Berlin/

@David_Gunkel Absolutely correct. Few substantive or worthwhile insights (present company excluded...)

Think Different(ly). I am beginning to think that the real issue is not that "#LLMs are not philosophically interesting" but that mainstream academic philosophy really has had nothing of interest to say about #LLMs🥱

@RaymondKeywords Culture +is+ ordinary…

Remarkable that one of the most popular tweets ever for this account is about RW's sartorial choices rather than his intellect, erudition or influence 👠🧥

Congratulations @isisgiraldoa, recipient of this year's SHF x Cultural Studies Award. Giraldo's winning essay, 'SoHo as virtual theatre: performing gender, race, and class in 21st-century Colombia,' was published in @CulturalStdJrnl vol. 36, no. 1 (January 2022).

@SienkiewiczArt There's no better rendition of Kingpin than yours.
