I do wonder which book in particular he had in mind. Lady Chatterly’s Lover wouldn’t be published for another year.

  Burton’s Thousand Nights and a Night was considered at least mildly pornographic when it was published in 1885.

"Though my other very unpopular thought is that student all-nighters are largely unnecessary and are more about social performance and the much dreaded “virtue signalling” than anything else. People do all-nighters because they learn somewhere that it is what you do to be a serious and real student.* Perhaps if we taught project management in high school, this would change."

Yeah,, kinda this. I never pulled all-nighters in college, partly because I DID learn time management (both from my parents: both academics, and in high school). But I heard lots of people moaning about how many they pulled and it DID seem to me sort of a "look at me, look at how Serious I am"

I think I got better grades with my "Okay, gonna study 20 minutes a day, starting 2 weeks before the exam, and then a couple hours the night before" than the people who pulled long all nighters and crammed. I'm sure I learned the stuff better.

I earned pretty good grades in college. Not, like, Summa Cum Laude good, but certainly plenty good: high B average.

I also wonder - as someone who works in academia today - how much of the "ohhhhh man another 80 hour week" you hear some academics claiming to work is an outgrowth of this. While I have put in a few 14-hour days (mainly because of meetings over and above the usual - like being on a search committee), I don't think I've ever worked an 80 hour week.

Fifty-hour weeks, yeah, sure, that's pretty regular. But not 80, and that's NOT something sustainable over the long term.

I also wonder how many people in academia use stimulants stronger than caffeine to keep going. I've never seen out-and-out evidence of it, but I've known a few profs I wondered about.

Somewhere in the last couple of years my e-mail address got onto Harris's list (probably a donation I made to some other Western candidate). I got her announcement e-mail this morning. Speaking broadly, there's not enough policy difference between her, or Warren, or Gillibrand to matter. There's exactly one mention of the environment: "Where every single person can breathe clean air and drink clean water." Not a word about climate change. So far, Jay Inslee is still my guy. Not that he's got a snowball's chance of getting the nomination -- this will not be a good cycle for white male governors.

I read that people were yelling "build the wall" and doing tomahawk chops. If so, those would be things that should raise a few eyebrows.

If it were a group of black teens in gang colors were standing in exactly the same way around a white Vietnam Vet who was praying aloud, how do you think the media would characterize it?

For someone who isn't a white conservative male, being surrounded by a gang of white teens in MAGA threads can in fact feel the same way. Especially when one of them is standing inches from you with that *smirk* we all saw on the face of the 'poor misunderstood yut'.

...paramount importance of friends...

My kids were old enough that as we got into the later books, I was encouraging them to consider that Dumbledore wasn't the kindly old man he seemed, but was, rather, running an ongoing war and grooming Harry and his friends to be weapons without telling them. Given Dumbledore's strength as a sorcerer, what were the chances that he didn't know everything that was going on in the castle or on the grounds? How often did they receive special or lenient treatment? Didn't many things make more sense as live-fire exercises than accidents?

One of these days I'll have to sort through the fanfic and see if anyone has rewritten the story from that perspective.

When Editors hear the Word 'Culture'...

Todd VanDerWerff, a cultural critic and journalist, says (somewhat unsurprisingly) that we need cultural critics and journalists, a group of writers that have been let go from numerous media outlets over the past few years as all media coverage is gradually sucked into the Trump Singularity. — Rufus F.
