in 2016 I could have captioned this “the grad student, the postdoc, and the junior prof” and got 36000 likes. Now I have to add “at Hitler University” or else The Left hires a guy to punch me in the dick at Uniqlo

Chris O'Kane presents the latest edition of Marx’s Capital as another attempt by translators to crystallize a particular political interpretation of Marx—this time, the novel synthesis misapprehended as a straightforward “Marx revival.” @chrisokane_nyc

Fascinated by people being like “I need to record the concert because otherwise I’ll forget it.” Like I generally remember the experience of being at a show but these people seem to want a perfect, replayable recall of it

I started doing this to my English professors after I took my first philosophy class.
Tom Holland would call "Spider-Man" producers from "The Odyssey" set in order to "lay down the law" about filming blockbusters the Christopher Nolan way:
“I'd say, ‘We are not going to come to set and figure it out. We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?’ And Destin was super instrumental in that, but it was just really great to constantly be calling up the studio and [producers] Amy [Pascal] and Rachel [O’Connor], who I love, and be like, ‘Well, Chris is doing it this way. This is how I think we should be doing it.’ ” (via GQ)
