Hey friends, long time no talk. I’ve started a Substack. It's a daily blog exploring society, culture, relationships, music, and some of the philosophy behind them all. I hope you check it out, and maybe give it a follow. topkomment.substack.com/

Life got in the way of my end of year lists last year, for the first time in two decades of music blogging. But we're back this year, starting with albums heartachewithhardwork.com/20… (btw: you can follow me on the other site where I still tweet very irregularly)

Breaking my Twitter hiatus for a quick article retweet. I wrote the first draft of this article my first year of grad school. George Bush was the president and Single Ladies was the #1 song in America. Many (many many) revisions later, it's out in the world.

Absolutely bizarre for a social media site which depends entirely on network effects to be gatekept by invite codes. But anyway, I got one, so I'm over at the other place under @ olneyce. Probably won't use it much, but who knows.

Logging back in briefly to say that I'll be spending this year at @EmoryPolisci as a VAP. Sorry to say goodbye to my wonderful students and colleagues at UTRGV, but very excited for the future.

Back in the US, which apparently means Tweetdeck is now inaccessible. So I guess that's it for me around here. It's been (occasionally) fun, y'all.

Surprisingly, this lightly-edited mid-90s CEDA-L post does not quite have its finger on the pulse of contemporary debate.

The actual thing ruining debate is that the kids these days, they don't flow.

My Swedish language book just let me know that "I don't know" means "no" in Swedish. And further says that "yes" can also mean "no" in Swedish depending on tone.

This is very accurate. Swedes really dislike saying "no."

Find yourself someone who loves you as much as a podcast host loves not telling you who the special guest is going to be at their live show.

Twitter is an app where you follow someone because they have interesting takes about X but it turns out that 90% of their posts are about sports or comic book movies or Succession or whatever.

"Damn. One guy in a post 215 miles north of the Arctic Circle. What's he going to do?" LOL, I'd rather live in Tromsø than like 98% of American cities

I see it's 'people who know nothing about debate but have strong opinions based on a single cherry-picked example' week again. Exciting.

The big news here is that Scott thinks that a policy being opposed by the majority of voters is an impediment to its enactment, which is pretty serious RINO-territory

Had a wonderful time this week at the GOODINT conference on exclusion, integration, and democracy at UiT in Tromsø. Learned a lot from some truly brilliant folks and also got to enjoy the midnight sun. Highly recommend!

Dolly Parton wrote I Will Always Love You and Jolene on the same day, and The Beatles recorded the entire Please Please Me album in one day. Anyway, how is your day going?
