Close, but not *quite* there. I was not the founder of @myHNN and haven't worked there in almost a decade, I've never published anything in @theatlantic, @salon, or @jacobin, and I never wrote THE GROWTH OF THE LIBERAL SOUL, which was written by a different David Walsh. https://t.co/46yDt1Wmfw

William F. Buckley
David Austin WalshDavid Austin Walsh

Two, Rufo’s Gramscian solution to recapture hegemony in higher education from the descendants of the New Left… is basically identical to William F. Buckley’s program from GOD AND MAN AT YALE, with one significant exception… https://t.co/sJcZ8ET9Yv

Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization

Michael Rothberg

Finished Rothberg's MULTIDIRECTIONAL MEMORY and it is a remarkable book... but I find myself skeptical of its central thesis.

I liked the other reading, though—from Harold Kushner’s TO LIFE!—even if there’s an unfortunate blurb from Alan Dershowitz on the cover.

Composition: Wide Ruled Rubik Cube Boxing Match Writing Notebook

Culture of Pop
David Austin WalshDavid Austin Walsh

I was honestly surprised at how well it held up, because while the notion of “a bunch of characters having conversations about pop culture” is beyond cliched at this point, the cinematography, composition, and pacing are almost totally unlike 21st-century movies.
