We're going to try to do these posts whenever (a) enough stuff piles up that we have to clean it out or (b) we find something that's time critical ("this course on rhetoric is starting next week...") The content will be a hodge-podge of relevant disciplinary stuff, stuff that's designed to make us come off as smart, and anything that seems like we might agree with it. So if it's about psychoanalysis or philosophy of science then it's almost certainly in. If the words "American Empire" or "Zionist colonialism" are in the syllabus, odds are no. We try to keep politics out of this blog, but there are certain privileges to running an aggressive and glib low-traffic vanity project.

We've got the first roundup after the jump. A lot of this list is drawn from Open Culture, although certainly not everything. Future updates will include even more stuff from university feeds, cultural blogs, etc.
