"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Desi just had her very first trip to the vet and they said she was a very good girl (so say we all 😌)

Highly recommended & not just for NYers:: “If we are not to become trapped in a permanent state of melancholy, we need a careful analysis of the state’s enormous capacity for reaction in defense of capital’s interests.” Sam Stein quoting @monedero.bsky.social

She got beef with that corner

yiddish children’s stories are dark man we just read one for class that was like ‘daddy couldn’t find a job so he became a jewish department store santa where he passed out from hunger and all the goyishe kids told their friends about seeing santa faint. in conclusion, capitalism is a scam,’

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

can't wait to get my news with that one recording of a bad Bill Clinton impersonation attached to the end.

interning for an archive years ago, I stumbled someone's personal photo album documenting the liberation of several concentration camps. he was an official army photographer, but most of these were not similarly available through NARA. Idk if that's crazy but it certainly knocked the wind out of me.

FYI Philly friends: HIAS PA, the resettlement agency in PA for HIAS National, has operated in Philadelphia since 1882. They had to terminate their refugee resettlement program this year due to federal funding cuts. They desperately need our support to continue their legal and social services.

Funny Girl raised me and I, for one, am tired of staying silent about it.

If you are feeling helpless and hopeless in the face of the CECOT report, I’d like to suggest donating to HIAS. It’s a Jewish organization that actively protects displaced people and fights for refugee rights everywhere including against the Trump regime. 🧵

re the CECOT segment: certain things hit me harder these days, and part of it is that before treatment for chronic illness and my surgery, my nervous system was so numbed out that viewing content like this was relatively easy. Feeling better physically for me has brought back a lot of emotion.

But I can see you Your bronze helm shining in the sun And there's Gilgamesh with scale armor on, baby And I can tell you and Enkidu will still be strong After the boys of Sumer have gone

how does the evil just keep getting stupider

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

KC saw the Cowboys losing to division to The Sun and said I want that

I read “doomed” stadium and was like ha ha ha….excellent.

The 2025 Mets are disbanding like the beginning of Muppets Take Manhattan

WAIT NEFF MCJEIL IS GOING TO THE A’S? WHAT DID THE A’S DO TO DESERVE THAT?!?!

the later in the day it gets, the more bummed I am about this. I am WIPED from a couple of nights of bad sleep + now a very sore shoulder/neck. I know it's fine to skip a day, but I'm not happy that I don't think I can even pull off a 30 min treadmill walk :/

Any time Eagles fans are impugned as a group, the individual casting aspersions should recognize that they are actually insulting international icon and hero, Malala Yousafzai.

So i was going to start deload week at the gym today, but last night I scooped the puppy out from under the couch and it gave me a huuuuuge muscle spasm in my trap/levator scapulae. I love being hypermobile I’m having a great time 👍

Why is James Cook trending did the hawaiians get his ass again

One of my best friends is marrying a Commies fan and she just sent me this lmao go freakin birds

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

I don’t want to be too conspiracypilled but the NFL is rigging Pittsburgh’s season for an Aaron Rodgers comeback season. Comeback from what, buddy? Playing for the Jets and legionaries disease??? I’m not buying it and neither should you!!!!!

I’m sensing a Philadelphia-Detroit coalition brewing

They would smell the fires in Europe if a game ended like that at the Linc. You know what to do, Detroit.

The Lions winning this game is the real miracle of Hanukkah

That’s a wrap on Hanukkah! Ricky and Desi say Chag Sameach!!!

Kenny Gainwell come home

Thank God Benedict Anderson isn't alive to see this

Ask any historian, and this is a standard experience. The project you envision you will write turns out to be something different in the end. Why? Because you go where the sources lead you, and you can never get there if you rely on technology that only builds off of established knowledge.

arguing about history and AI while football is happening reminded me of this

What historians (and other scholars do) is create knowledge. We should use that phrase more and talk about what it means. I think we don't, and it's part of why AI enthusiasts are confused when we don't readily agree that our work can be replicated/replaced by their products.

Every so often, AI boosters will say their products are or soon will be capable of “Ph.D-level work” and then it becomes clear that they at a very basic level do not know what Ph.D level work is

I read about 350 books to prepare for my comprehensive exams as a PhD student. That is exactly what we do.

Which, btw, I will admit is my least favorite part of doing history research, too. I love doing the reading. Hate deciding what's important enough to include. Hate that when I do write historiography, I am constrained by a word count because I am both a perfectionist and cannot stop yapping.
