Happy New Year's!
I wrote a piece on LLMs, citation metrics, and the institution of science. It's been up for a couple of days, but it is officially "out" now.
The appendix articles are both freely available for download. If you’d like access to another, please let me know, and I’d be happy to share!

All chapters and appendices other than the Intro & Conclusion are also available as articles, and I think they read better in this format. I don’t have a book to promote, but if you’d like to get a sense of how it may have looked, here are my dissertation chapters as articles in order in one place:
The dissertation itself is titled *Planning Spatial Obsolescence: Racial Capitalism, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, and the Production of Racialized Devaluation*, and the whole thing is fully available on Proquest.

Glad to see the last remaining chapter of my dissertation officially out now in *Urban Geography*!

Authoritarianism in the digital age by @kylzjarrett.bsky.social, @robkitchin.bsky.social, Jing Hiah and @steelecat717.bsky.social in @dialoguesdigsoc.bsky.social. Intro to special issue with 48 papers on the topic. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
A new study shows rents for low-wage Atlanta tenants are rising *9 times* faster than for wealthy renters.
The affordability crisis is everywhere: housing, healthcare, food, electricity, survival itself.
And the party that won big on "affordability" last week just turned around and surrendered it.
Everyone hates Georgia Power so much lol
Today is the official publication day for CRACKED FOUNDATIONS!! 🏠🥳🎉

Fantastic new historical mapping resource on the FHA's Section 608 multifamily rental housing program from @brentcebul.bsky.social, Mike Glass, and their team. Complete with downloadable data! Incredible work

Mike Glass and I argue for @phenomenalworld.bsky.social that we’ve tried the #abundance incentive-based approach to housing crises before. But lack of oversight + incentives produced fraud, profiteering, and inflated rents -- and the Trump family fortune.

An update on the future of the Allmaps project:
Sadly, on April 17, 2025, we learned that the federal government terminated many NEH grants, including ours. The notification stated that our grant’s termination was “necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government.”

"Hearing that real estate and business leaders in New York City are convening a 2 pm call to discuss The Zohran Situation"
crying, screaming, throwing up
screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."
he's right and he's right to say it
