did chatgpt set him up for this fall? and which would be more cringe, a yes or a no? (god’s green earth has neither enough face nor enough palm for these clowns.)

the excerpted quotation seems to me, if not 100% then at least >95%, misguided. (granted, i have only my biased anecdotal sense, but i did read papers, watch tv, listen to radio, and go to protests throughout the e90s so its not entirely idiosyncratic either.) hardly anyone on the left paid any

אאוץ׳ (בעיקר לאור האיקונוגרפיה בשלמותה. הפגיונות שנראים שננעצים בבשר האריה. הלהבים הקוואנטיים, חרב פה חרב שם. הפה הפעור בשאגה שנראית כמו מקסימום איזה מיאו. היונה שלא מבינה איך היא שייכת לסיפור הזה בכלל.) חג שמח, אם ישראל.

Publication day! We are pleased to announce that "Digital Medieval Studies-- Crusaders and Computers" is now availble. This is the first deep dive of the DMS series into a specific subfield, and we are really pleased with the results. www.arc-humanities.org/978180270291...

subtweet. sorry. finally got around to listen to a recent podcast about ‘ancient palestine’. nvm the smugness. nvm the bad, bad dad jokes. (yes i’m a connoisseur.) the whole conceptualisation is so. incredibly. stupid. & dangerous. & tendentious omg. so self-unaware. ugh. leftwashed rw bigotry.

הסיפור עצמו היסטרי (וכמובן גם מפחיד ברמות, אלא אם אתה חוואי ביפרים ב-8200) אבל ציוץ הסיכום של הבחורה הזאת הוא פשוט כליל השלמות

“The goal is not to perform a verdict, but to model for students what it looks like when a community takes a difficult truth seriously and makes consequential decisions together.”

just chipping away at it oughta, at least, keep us off the streets for an afternoon or two, no? problem not solved maybe but definitely mitigated

happy 1367th anniversary of st gertrude of nivelles to all who celebrate

He also manages, in his resignation letter, to blame the Iraq War and US intervention in Syria on “Israel and its powerful American lobby.” The cognitive dissonance in the isolationist wing of MAGA between loving Trump and hating this war is going to be resolved with a lot of antisemitism.

an excellent read. give peace a fucking chance www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

Netanyahu sucks, AIPAC sucks, but "we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby" is just code for "blame Jews." Trump wasn't forced to do this. Trump's supporters—like Kent—weren't forced to elect him and embolden him. They're not absolved of any responsibility.

such a beautiful piece! tremendous erudition, worn light as a breeze kudos to @samottewillsoulsby.bsky.social and @medivalist.bsky.social now we just need a manuscript variant of auðuns þáttr vestfirzka in which he traffics a gyrfalcon instead… árnastofnun folk, i trust you’re on it?

it all begins w the personal (which is another way of saying that the personal is always political i suppose): “grief has a way of calling attention to assumptions and choices as much as it encourages an often hazy nostalgia.”

fascinating find. menstruation is one of my go-to exx of aspects of medieval everyday life that are likely to remain opaque to us no matter what
