I can’t believe how much right-wing bullshit the @bostonglobe.com has been publishing in its op-eds lately. This is unbecoming of a supposedly great newspaper. Fuck this shit.

The Fall of Katie Porter needs to be studied.

Happy PRIDE fellow queers. Bisexuals of America, represent!

My new album came out two weeks ago today, maybe you’d like to give it a whirl? Played by +- Ensemble & recorded by Spud Murphy they’ve collectively made everything sound class… 🙏🏻 @ucddublin.bsky.social @cmcireland.bsky.social @nmcrecordings.bsky.social seanclancy.bandcamp.com/album/se-n-c...

One million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Please check out & share this incredible new digital humanities archive w/ interactive map, the Black Church Burning Project. blackchurchburningproject.org It exists to identify & document every Black church & congregation that was burned, bombed, or otherwise attacked during the Civil Rights era.

We have an Ask Me Anything with @drhistorybrad.bsky.social today discussing labor and class history. Come check it out on @askhistorians.bsky.social! www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

I'm doing an AMA on r/AskHistorians today. Anything and everything you've ever wanted to know about labor history, urbanization, deindustrialization, and the economy! www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

It’s so telling that cops view a desk job as - a safe and important position - as a punishment. It’s almost like they all joined up so they could boss people around and maybe one day “have to use their guns.”

A “whatever I had in the cupboard” riff on red beans and rice.

Roddy Doyle: ‘When you’re a Dublin writer, you’re inevitably asked about Joyce, and it’s tedious’

Sherman didn’t go far enough and Grant was too lenient.

It really is somewhere in between hilarious and deeply (if not at all surprisingly) embarrassing that book publishers still haven’t figured out that Bluesky is The Premiere Social Media Platform for People Who Actually Buy Lots of Books.

Ohioans know.

None. None! God damn it! "How many open trash burn pits should we dig on campus this Fall?" How about none?!?!

We need to seriously consider boycotting The Chronicle of Higher Education. This piece is the latest in a long line of increasingly neoliberalist and pro-AI trash. The days of CHE being a robust and practical source of discourse on higher ed is now over.

Occurred to me last night that my daughter has a bottle at: 0600 (1st breakfast) 0830 (2nd breakfast) 1100 (elevensies) 1330 (luncheon) 1600 (afternoon tea) 1930 (dinner) 2100 (supper) My daughter is a hobbit

At this point, you should just click on the post below and see all the historians who have done their own great threads picking apart this thing.

What if James Garfield wasn’t assassinated? How different would Reconstruction have been? What if Henry Wallace stays on the ticket in 1944? He doesn’t drop the atomic bomb and maybe the nuclear age is different.

What sucks about adjuncting is that I’m a really good professor and it’s such wild unfair BS that I can’t land a full-time (even non-TT) position somewhere. At least I can take solace in knowing that Harvard and Yale grads are keeping the professoriate alive a little longer 🙄

King Oscar salmon in lemon and olive oil on rye toast with cream cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and a dash (or 2) of Crystal hot sauce. 10/10 highly recommend.

Really good job opportunity here in my neck of the woods. Assistant Teaching Professor/ Associate Teaching Professor/ Full Teaching Professor www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=8... www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=8...

I was right back then and I’m still right now.

Vox out here trying to rehabilitate Lena Dunham like she wasn’t and isn’t an awful person (who yes, has some legitimate problems and that sucks) is just so lazy and unnecessary.

I literally lectured about the Voting Rights Act yesterday and it’s wild to watch history be erased in real time while you’re teaching it.

The NYT went and accidentally published the truth. www.instagram.com/p/DXcQvdEEvt...

You may not immediately associate Reddit with academic rigor, but @askhistorians.bsky.social is changing that 🔥 We sat down with @dhowlett1692.bsky.social to talk about the subreddit, AMA's, public scholarship, combating misinformation online, and more! 👇 open.substack.com/pub/uncpress...

Personal best time.

Historian here so #OAH26 is a wrap! Wonderful to hear brilliant scholars and hang out with great friends. Our panel was packed and the highlight for me was receiving the Presidents Book prize from @shgape.bsky.social for #theriseandfallofthesecondamericanrepublic

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Shame on @bostonglobe.com for publishing this garbage.

One of the worst parts of being contingent faculty with no resources and nothing published yet is that I have no way or reason to attend conferences. Watching my peeps enjoy themselves at #OAH and wishing I was a more historian-y historian.

The new iPhone bubble layout is fucking terrible. 0/10

www.instagram.com/p/DXNpHe9DKZ... Trash. Rag.

Fun fact; editing, brainstorming, “polishing” etc. are all writing. “Writing” is the entire start to finish process, not just the drafting. If you used AI at any part, then you used AI to write it.

Chronicle has become such a trash rag.

I just want to say on the record to my current and future employers: I have not used AI, I do not use AI, I never will use AI. If hiring a professor or publishing a writer with integrity matters to you at all, just know that I’m right here and I’m very employable.

A very happy Traitorous Losers Surrender Day to you all!

The Twitter responses to this post are WAY more unhinged and bean soup-y than you’d guess. It struck both a chord and nerve, making some little people big mad.

They can still learn them!

Never thought the day would come when I would agree with Iranian state TV. Iranian state TV claimed Trump had accepted Iran's terms for ending the war, describing it as a "humiliating retreat" by the U.S. president.

I’ve been teaching Gen Z for 7 years and I can tell you right now, the issue isn’t intelligence, it’s skills. Writing, note taking, studying, close reading. We’ve replaced those skills with Chrome Books and AI and then wonder why they struggle. We failed them, not the opposite.

If the U.S. was Europe, then New England would be Scandinavia; it’s a bunch of white people who are super progressive for other white people, are deeply fucking racist about everyone else but won’t ever admit it.

The President of the United States is tweeting about destroying a civilization like a 12-year old playing StarCraft as the Zerg and honestly what the fuck even is this country…

Has anyone seen the Democratic establishment the last month? Do we even have one?

Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax plan + a tax on all Wall Street transactions would fund essentially every conceivable progressive program and agenda and would literally not decrease the number of billionaires in this country at all, that’s how sickeningly wealthy the top 0.1-1% are in this country.
