So happy that it is finally publication day for the Cambridge Handbook of Global Financial Infrastructure! My chapter is on some of the first efforts to wire together financial markets in the age of the telegraph. The book is entirely open access (link below)

Deeply depressing that what could’ve been a radical turning point in addressing class inequality within healthcare at a national and subsequently global level has once again been reduced to entertainment fodder.

This was also the strategy of the greatest tv commercial of the 2010s. “Inevitable.”

I respect the hell out of this billboard. No jokes. Nobody using the product. Doesn’t even make sense really. Just the name of the company and a picture of Timothee Chalamet. What else do you need

Currently reading someone's first academic book that has entire introductory chapters for each separate section, an entire chapter devoted to a single influential critic/interlocutor, and which begins multiple chapters with 3+ epigraphs. We used to make things in this country.

It seems notable to me that Akiva Schaffer, the director of the new Naked Gun, was the executive producer of MacGruber, the greatest comedy of the 2010s.

The original NAKED GUN is my personal pick for the funniest movie ever made. 30 seconds into the new one a character holds an ominous object called a P.L.O.T. Device and I knew the new one understood the assignment. Really really funny.

If you're in London, goes see the Josef Koudelka exhibit at the Tate Modern. It says all of this far more profoundly than I can
