Latest from me at @journalspectre.bsky.social: I trace how Richard Spencer and other white nationalists have shifted their strategy to stay relevant and rebuild after years of delay forming and antifascist resistance. They are building a new cadre, and have less opposition today.

Historian: AI has no place in historical research or writing. AI pusher: You don't know what you're talking about! Historian: I do. I am a historian. AI advocate: Luddite! Historian: *writes twenty-seven post thread about Luddism*

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

now i'm really in the christmas spirit

simply having a wonderful Christmas time

GenAI is a fucking cancer causing a major crisis in knowledge comprehension and production. And no, I’m not “entirely objective” on this either because there’s no such thing and actually listening to people who know something rather than the much-vaunted slop machines might clue you in on this.

I don’t know how this happened, but this is unacceptable. I wonder what the social media protocols are over at OAH? Did this get vetted by anyone? If it did, that is unacceptable. And if it didn’t, well, that’s also unacceptable.

NARA has rejected my records request for a second time because my very deceased father did not sign his approval and me telling them that he was dead and his daughter apparently didn't register so I have to submit a third record request! I love bureaucracy!

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

UNC should maintain these centers because it is the right thing to do, but historians will also note that these centers across the US were founded for national security reasons in order to produce scholars, officers, and policymakers knowledgeable about the world. They weakened a country today.

"The psychologist and cognitive scientist Iris van Rooij has argued that the emergence of AI “slop” across scholarly resources portends nothing less than “the destruction of knowledge” www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

he also kind of gets everyone's asses again in this follow up with the washington post

Too many people think the issue is "ai look bad" not the stolen data sets not the workers rights not the climate change and the fact that people CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN ON THEIR HEAT because they're subsidizing data centers, let alone the misinformation and fascism

“A top official at 🇺🇸 Dept of Education has been keeping a controversial flag linked to Christian nationalism and the 1/6 insurrection hung outside his office…” As Betsy Devos said, “Advancing God’s Kingdom” is @GovBillLee and the privatizers #1 goal www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

“We are not here to simply express personal opinions or repeat talking points, but rather to engage a set of ideas and research findings that have a long and complicated history and are therefore subject to ongoing debate.”

Joseph Oduro, a teaching assistant, comforted a wounded student in the chaotic aftermath of a shooting at Brown University that left two dead and nine injured. “I told her to put all the pain on me,” Oduro said. This is his story:

Every classroom I’ve ever taught in, the door is immediately to the right or left of the podium/computer in the front of the classroom. I am most visible and open to whomever enters the room. I think about this every semester. I think about this whenever there is a school shooting. Nowhere to hide.

I have signed this petition for reinstating Melanie Goldberg with the HMD Trust. Please consider signing as well. Firing people for supporting @ukfost.bsky.social is madness. Standing Together is a terrific movement that I am thrilled to support. actionnetwork.org/petitions/re...
