@marmanold Those are some excellent socks.
@marmanold Those are some excellent socks.
@JohnBrady I’ve been thinking about this all week too, and I think I’ll read it aloud with my students next week, who’ll be taking in Amusing Ourselves to Death in the meanwhile.
@teedan I worked with CBL this summer as coach; she’s the one who pointed me to the Lang book. Will report this exchange to her!
@lukemperez lmk how it goes!
@ayjay I assigned ahead of time. We have a monster 3.5 hours once a week, so I want them paying attention in the prior week and organizing their thoughts before the recap moment. Could see it either way, though.
@joshuapsteele @teedan Yes! I never cease needing to find more ways to make tacitly held teacher values into explicit classroom structures.
@KyleEssary Yes indeed. @markstoneman, lmk if you take it up. Nice to hear @teedan’s experience is the same.
@bethanyh It’s just tragic. What a loss.
@bethanyh just cancelled a bunch due to overload but still pay for Matt Yglesias, Phil Christman, Leah Sargeant, Austin Kleon, Alan Jacobs, maybe some others.
@ReaderJohn I don’t think that Didion book is representative of her best, fwiw
@lukemperez That’s helpful! Thanks.
@lukemperez How was this?
@mwerickson Glad to hear it.
@marmanold I’m so glad this has a name! Proud.
@mwerickson This is on my list! Do please share reflections.
@tinyroofnail Amen to that.
@joshuapsteele Right there with you. Proceed confidently, I’d say; there is an enormous gulf between FT sensibilities and Christman’s message (which is a good healthy range of strong disagreement that should appear in book reviews!).
@bbowman @tinyroofnail Thank you both for this exchange and links.
@jabel I loved this also, and @annahavron’s reply as well. Best kind of Micro serendipity.
@lukemperez same same, on all counts
@bethanyh Thanks. Finally feel like I got an architecture class to speak to this larger enduring humanistic theme (for my own benefit too).
@markstoneman agreed.
@KyleEssary Strongly recommended.
@jabel yeah, I’ll take it!
@markstoneman That Schlabach is great. Thanks for posting.
