I'm still looking for work :( If anyone knows of any research, writing, or editing gigs going I'd be very appreciative :) If there are any magazine editors looking for a theorist to write about politics, please hit me up! :)

If ChatGPT destroys itself by sending undergrads to libraries (where they learn the meaning of research), I will throw a five-day champagne fueled bender
Just visited the nearby university library and was fascinated to learn that students are bombarding it with requests for references that do not exist--the product of ChatGPT and its ilk. "It's a goddam nuisance," the librarian said. "They don't believe it's all made up."

This strikes me as slightly unfair. Not read the book but these sentences are fine. Yes, they are dull, but introducing the Tabula Rasa is dull work....
It’s absolutely crazy how far standards for writing have fallen. Look at this passage from Steven Pinker, Harvard tenured professor who literally wrote the book on writing well, vs John Locke. Three sentences with nearly identical construction make Locke’s admittedly somewhat

Granted it's about my new book but @thoughtgenerate's latest also serves as a brilliant standalone essay on the future of American power, morality, and democracy. Well worth a read. https://t.co/vk1s6WnITc

I used to teach for the Brilliant Club and it was a really good experience. The majority of my students were working class and received experiences they otherwise would not have! Definitely worth a donation
Just over an hour left of our campaign to raise £20k for The Scholars Programme at @BrilliantClub! If you can donate even a little bit, please help 🙏 https://t.co/wbXdvbVgJo

The piece by @thoughtgenerate also serves as a brilliant standalone essay on the future of American power, morality, and democracy. This his strongest challenge to me: He asks if the America I admire and idealize "still exists or even if it ever existed" https://t.co/6uKb2iU0Z1

The political theorist @thoughtgenerate weighs in on my new book, calling it "an increasingly rare spectacle." Grateful to him for both the kind words and thoughtful criticisms. Yes, my case is "uphill" to say the least. https://t.co/vk1s6WogIK

Machiavelli would not have advocated for this and I struggle to see how anyone who has read him on any depth would come to this conclusion
"If I could be a kind of Machiavellian adviser to Keir Starmer, whispering in his ear, I'd say restart the culture war" The Telegraph's Poppy Coburn gives her advice to Keir Starmer on how to "not lose as badly" at the next general election. #Newsnight
