"Art film" @hyperallergic means the film must be about art and aesthetics; lucky for me, that's what I often go see anyway! Delighted to share THE BEST TEN ART FILMS OF 2025, eight which I nominated, and five of which I reviewed at Hyper or @reverse_shot. https://t.co/seT56C828P

Grateful that my former colleague asked to interview me for her @stltoday piece on student learning and generative AI @WashU. Educators who care about learning are on the front lines right now; we need solidarity now more than ever. https://t.co/Zej6x4qeNp

Wow. Ronald Purser's latest @curaffairs spells out so much of what has recently pained me to witness in my own university. Faculty—and students—must resist, if the university is to mean anything in the future.
currentaffairs.org
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

It's been a trying week, but less buoyed to learn I am cited on Wikipedia's "body horror" page for a piece I wrote on TITANE @hyperallergic. This was never a goal of mine, but in retrospect, I think it always should have been.

Today in Current Affairs, professor Ron Purser exposes how AI's destruction of the university is even worse than you think, and goes well beyond students cheating with ChatGPT: https://t.co/TAUD4R7gxK

"It’s tempting for anyone who cares deeply about culture to believe that stasis leads inexorably to political crisis. But is it true?" Cogent review @jenszalai on the latest book @wdavidmarx.

How the rise and fall of the nihilist hipster gave us the cruel reactionaries of today.

Delighted to moderate a reading by artists Heather Bennett and Jen Logan Meyer next Thursday, December 4th, @bdavidgallery. Feminist visual theory and Freixenet cava are sure to both be flowing... https://t.co/QvacTAx8Po

6th grade Eileen had extremely meritocratic dreams of upward mobility and wealth accumulation! Imagine a neonatologist with her own cosmetic line!! 💄💋💅🏻🏥🩺

Why didn’t I love SENTIMENTAL VALUE?? As I admire both Joachim Trier's and Renata Reinsve's earlier work, it was a bit vexing. In my latest review @reverse_shot, I explore why, for me at least, this one just didn't pack the same punch. https://t.co/CXNAVAUZa4

"Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console but challenges.” Moved that @Pontifex has been moved to defend the arts at this utterly imperiled moment. @BilgeEbiri @vulture
vulture.com
In his speech to filmmakers last weekend, Pope Leo XIV showed he’s been paying serious attention to the issues facing cinema as an art form.

Trier seems to be confronting the extent to which life and art coalesce in the lives of creative families, dangling the question of whether artistic genius can redeem one’s personal sins. Read @Reckless_Edit on SENTIMENTAL VALUE: https://t.co/Rzlp7C10dV

"[T]he real storm outside has passed. Alsarah gathers her things and disappears down the block, steady in motion, as ever..." Poetic profile of Alsarah & the Nubatones @RollingStone @ZahraHankir @WonderWheelRecs
mena.rollingstone.com
Alsarah’s evolving artistry blends ancestral sound, diaspora politics, and a bold vision for a borderless musical future.

Honored to learn about worthy artists largely ignored in the last century. In my latest @hyperallergic, I review ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE, on Lois Dodd, Eleanor Magid, and Louise Kruger—3 single mothers who moved in together with their kids in 1959. https://t.co/gS3NhvVyNZ
