Il y a 4 ans, le tabloïd serbe Informer titrait que l'Ukraine avait attaqué la Russie et que les Américains avaient plongé le monde dans le chaos. Tabloïd à la main du président serbe dont on feint de croire que l'intégration européenne l'intéresse

If you know anything about Richard Evans as a German historian, the idea that he would ask his students to have pleasant correspondence with David Irving is fantastical

Shameful of the GI to end its Goethe Institut in Exile project like this, apparently from one day to the next.

Wir gedenken heute des Medizinstudenten Christoph Probst (1919-1943), der als Mitglied der „Weißen Rose“ zu Tode verurteilt wurde und sich kurz vor der Vollstreckung des Urteils in München-Stadelheim taufen ließ: „Wenn ich es recht bedenke, so war es ein einziger Weg zu Gott“.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

Which US red scare is this? 4th? 5th?

Pass the bucket please.

Stumbled across records in the Dakar archives of Spanish republican refugees fleeing in 1936 to Dakar from both the Canary Islands and Equatorial Guinea.

to be clear, Matthew Goodwin has one (1) child and should thus be penalised for failing to meet the replacement rate under the incentive scheme that he’s established here

Meanwhile in Budapest 🇭🇺: 3,000 far-right + neo-Nazis, in full Nazi uniform and symbol cosplay, were able to gather and march — as a counterprotest on the banks of the Danube commemorating Jews murdered by the Arrow Cross was banned, with participants surrounded and searched by police 🙄

When everything you know about the 1936 Olympics you've learned by watching Olympia.

Recherchen zum Unternehmen Palantir, die von der Republik und dem Recherche­kollektiv WAV gemacht wurden, haben internationales Medien­echo ausgelöst. Nun klagt das US-Unternehmen gegen die Republik auf Gegen­darstellung. Der Fall liegt beim Zürcher Handels­gericht.

If the US culture wars aren’t anything to do with Germany then why does Merz, Germany’s leader, do little else but fight them in his own country?

"Ms. Collins, along with her husband, Malcolm Collins, sent the White House several draft executive orders, including one that would bestow a “National Medal of Motherhood” to mothers with six or more children." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u... Yikes! It's giving: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_o...

Quite the chart

i didn’t realise that Malthus was still alive, much less that he was supervising PhDs at Essex

I drew a face on a paper plate. Who could even begin to understand how it perceives the world or what it dreams of?

I was just thinking about this last week. All the records I bought for Bandcamp Friday were by American artists, bar one. Just one small facet of US hegemony that, as things stand, is unlikely to survive the next few decades.

I really need people outside of Seattle to know how much Krist Novoselic sucks

It’s the lack of continuity too. #Metrolinx signage is bilingual; #TTC is unilingual. TTC maps are black, show streetcars; Metrolinx maps are white, skip streetcars, add regional rail. Metrolinx uses 24-hour time; walk a door and it’s back to 12-hour—and that’s before the wayfinding differences!

Vjerojatno je mislila na Tomislava II.

Biggest W in the history of historians tbh

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Can you IMAGINE them telling the USA to take a picture of George Washington off their uniforms?

A study of 1,249 German companies that have existed since before 1933 shows that only 8% have commissioned historical research on their Nazi past and nearly 1/5 completely silences it on their corporate websites www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

My second book is out 🎉 If you are interested in gender policies and Muslim minorities in Eastern Europe, it is on its way to libraries and can already be ordered online. Very excited to finally share this one. sickle-and-veil.net

'Covent Garden' (from 'This Is London', 1959) by Miroslav Šašek

I had never seen a price put on the statue of King Edward currently in queens park - it was imported from Delhi by some biz men when India was going post colonial & Toronto was still full Queen City.

A hoće li itko od najavljenih voditelja, izvođača, itd. pokazati minimum građanske hrabrosti i bojkotirati ovaj doček?

Might be of interest to the few Austrians who follow me here.

After letting my old professional website die from neglect, I created something new over the weekend. jburnford.github.io

While I appreciate the sentiment of this book list, I really need some of you to understand that white Americans' indifference is baked into the soil. White Americans watched as Black people were lynched and then took pieces of their body and/clothing as souvenirs.

One only need to take a cursory look at the biographies of various Nazi Germany officials involved in the Holocaust to see how many lead normal lives in postwar West Germany, some even taking up government posts. To think that Nazi emigres somehow fared worse than that is ludicrous.

Came across this image unintentionally and I’m fascinated by the aerial angle - the coffin factory, Fort York, the silos, Molson brewery, Tip Top Tailers, the abattoir. Niagara and Wellington looking SE, 1993/94. Fonds 200, Series 1465, File 717, Item 51 @torontoarchives.cityof.toronto.ca #Toronto

And if they left, they'd never see a penny of it. That's the Trump way.

Nation-building isn’t just about infrastructure and resource extraction. It’s about culture. It’s about history. It’s about our stories, and the places that tell them. This is the worst time imaginable to shut down the Register of Historic Places. nationaltrustcanada.ca/online-stori...

kinda feels like they already lost it. (also, what a thing to say out loud)
