AI Writing Disclosures Are a Joke. Here’s How to Improve Them. Scholars should log every step of the process of composition.

I keep snarling at the premise of this (paywalled) piece, which tells scholars to create a "composition log" documenting their writing process, esp re any use of AI tools. The kicker? This author's 1250word essay generated a composition log of 280 PAGES.

Iowa Republicans Are Erasing the State’s History Iowa elected officials are preparing to trash 60% of the state’s historical archives with no transparency or input from the public.

Don't post much here but this story from @barnraiser.bsky.social really got under my skin… Disposing of archival materials, cancelling a self-subsidizing state history journal… I'd be scandalized if it weren't so tragically typical.

The Metrograph: Issue 1 - Metrograph Introducing The Metrograph, a brand new print publication for film lovers and beyond.

Good golly. Finally sat down with Issue #1 of #TheMetrograph (the new print film journal I got as a gift) & find myself strangely/deeply moved by the breadth & range of cinephilia addressed within its literally beautiful pages. @metrographnyc.bsky.social

nobody modeled the love of deep attention the way the incomparable Morgan Jenness did. such enthusiasm, such rigor, such fervor, such dedication, such generosity...
blessings, dear Morgan, blessings...

The internet’s uneasy embrace of ‘Catholic Mexican Girl’ style The popularity of “Catholic Mexican Girl” style — white dresses, braids, crucifixes — raises questions about how U.S. consumers represent Latin American culture.

It's not every day that I'm quoted in the STYLE section of a major US newspaper.

What ‘Oppenheimer’ leaves out - Responsible Statecraft The three-hour-long movie has gripping drama and important history, but it ignores the first victims of the nuclear era.

A partial explanation for my ambivalence about that other movie…

when movies get deleted for tax reasons, they should legally become public domain. people should be allowed to upload it anywhere they want. that's the tradeoff you make if you wanna delete your own movie released this year for a few extra bucks, and i think it's fair

Alison Bechdel: ‘The Bechdel test was a joke... I didn’t intend for it to become a real gauge’ The US graphic novelist on having her comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For, turned into an audio series, ​growing up in a funeral home, ​and ​​her famous women-in-film test

"I understand why people want to use 'they', and I could do that, but I’ve worked so hard to count as a 'she', I’m going to stick there." - Alison Bechdel
