First came "the vinyl revival." Now cassette tapes are making a comeback, too, according to figures from Billboard and others.

My latest Pop Culture Shorts column on FanFare at @medium explains why.

There's a new wave of books and shows about life in the German Democratic Republic — colloquially known as East Germany. Books such as Jenny Erpenbeck's "Kairos" and the Netflix thriller "Kleo" have been accused of evoking nostalgia for life under the Stasi. Author Katja Hoyer disagrees, saying it's important to look at the spectrum of experiences that unfolded behind the Iron Curtain.

Again (not) surprised to see that my students have never heard of Groucho Marx. #ISE2023 lecture 03, basic #NLP, on the question "Why is natural language so difficult?". Of course, political correctness wasn't a big issue in 1930. So, what do you think. Should I continue to "torture" my students with historical (pop) cultural references?
