I look like I'm arguing with Sean Fear, when I'm actually telling him how much I liked his paper and how I can't wait for his book.

Never thought of it as a concept album. I still prefer Fore

Less than 2 weeks to apply for these awesome @shafrhistorians.bsky.social awards - including the Hogan Language Fellowship. Iโ€™m a previous Hogan winner & I have the honor of chairing the Hogan committee this year so apply or tell your PhD students to apply! #SHAFR #skystorians ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ

James Sparrow's Warfare State and Mark Wilson's Destructive Creation go well together.

There's certainly a lot of Bernays in here, along with plenty of Ivy Lee, Carl Byoir, John Price Jones, Arthur Page, James Selvage, John Hill, Harold Oram....

Hardcover publication day in the US (after the books enoyed what I like to imagine was a leisurely transatlantic cruise)

Considering it was the first album after Peter Cetera left, it's not bad

Thank you @ceceliacancellaro.bsky.social so much again for creating the paperback proof prototype! Can't wait to hold the real thing when it's out next month.

Always nice to see a copy of my last book out in the wild, especially in Strand Bookstore, possibly my favourite book store in the world

Strangeways! Their second and third albums are awesome. Only a fool would dislike Only a Fool. May I also suggest Canada's Wall of Silence for the parking lot?
