David Austin Walsh on X
Historian. Postdoc @Yale Program for Study of Antisemitism. Book: TAKING AMERICA BACK: THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT AND THE FAR RIGHT // Yale Press // Spring 2024

The Growth of the Liberal Soul
David Walsh
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

God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of 'Academic Freedom'
William F. Buckley
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.

Franco: A Personal and Political Biography

Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power

To Life: A Celebration of Jewish Being and Thinking

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.

Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World

Composition: Wide Ruled Rubik Cube Boxing Match Writing Notebook
Culture of Pop
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.
