Dear @nytimes.com, One cannot 'belong' to Antifa, any more than one can belong to populism, or existentialism. It's not a party or an organization. But in your headline, you chose to accept the TPUSA characterization. Why?

History department fulfilling its noble role as a place for football tailgating urinals

Where’s the antisemitism task force when we actually need it

I'm excited about this upcoming event which now seems more relevant than ever

Congratulations, Michelle! And your paper was a banger

Wait, let me see if I have this right: democrats are accusing ICE agents of murdering Christian children and using their blood to make matzah to [checks notes] incite pogroms against ICE?

Someone is happy to see me

Very niche skeet

I was so tired I confused Jonathan Zatlin with Jonathan Wiesen

Not me agreeing to co-edit a Festschrift in these times. Holy hell

Somebody stop me from spending $250 on this

At GSA, my first in-person professional association conference since covid (for reasons) and struck by the brilliance, dedication & generosity of my colleagues. Makes it even harder to watch academia being dismantled

Just saw Princeton German Department luggage tags

Whenever Supreme Court is trending I immediately close the app

Who could have seen that coming

Springing into action any second now

Puts things in perspective

Aberbijan has always been at war with Albania

Hoping somehow that the LA rain will wash away the fascism

Sorry, no more encores

It was one of those mornings where there was no right side of the bed

I would watch All The President’s Men in his memory but it would be too depressing

The Redford news is hitting hard today

How Wall Street Broke The College Bookstore www.levernews.com/how-wall-str... I sort of sensed that this was going on but had never come across an analysis until now. This eye-opening article provides context for the capitalization of the college text book market.

Mr. Milchick FTW!

Really glad I saw it. Definitely added to the Müller film which was more comprehensive but had less of an archive to draw on. Also really interesting/disturbing seeing this film now. Maybe not the happiest birthday choice but historians gonna historian

Can't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate my birthday this year www.laemmle.com/film/riefens...

I spoke to the Irish Times for this very good and rounded piece on the real-world effects of C***GPT in the humanities classroom: www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Apparently a Dutch communist was spotted fleeing the scene

He came to our campus in the spring. A brave and amazing student of mine took the bait & got up there to debate him. He taunted her about racism. I wasn't there but it sounded like she held her own and conducted herself with dignity and poise. She was shaken up by the experience.

Really feels like Weimar now

Cultivating my garden

he's gonna take this trophy too?

Overheard at a synagogue (in Hebrew): Bibi and Trump are both insane: the only difference is Bibi is a smart madman and Trump’s an idiotic one

And there was a basketball game happening there too which made it difficult to hear the papers

In my dream I could only read emails on a screen attached to my armpit which was extremely awkward in the crowded high school gym where the German Studies Assoc conference was taking place

Ugh, no, Aimee Cesaire was not a "she"! #grading 🗃️
