Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Posting a photo of Ceausescu’s bathroom for no apparent reason.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

The White House's new McDonald's™ Epstein™ Ballroom™ appears to have been designed on free software.

Trump did what Osama Bin Laden couldn't do... 😭

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

Armed, masked ICE agents raided NYC’s Chinatown, arresting several street vendors, some of whom have been operating there for 15 years. They brought an armored tank and tactical weapons into the streets. HandsOffNYC.com has been preparing for this though, and is holding a mass call 10/29 at 7pm.

He destroys because destruction is the only way he knows how to feel powerful. He resents what he cannot create. He resents beauty because it reminds him of everything he will never be. And so, he does what he always does. He ruins it. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Our "Small Museums, Important Collections" virtual summit will focus on collections issues at small museums, which face a unique set of challenges, often related to limited resources, staff capacity, and infrastructure. Learn more and register at tinyurl.com/mytfmbek.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt: “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Everyone, please follow @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social. They tell the essential stories of real people at Auschwitz. Most of them died there. These stories aren’t easy, but they are necessary. Reminding ourselves what happened is how we prevent it from ever happening again.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

So it seems maga is somehow okay with statue removal now! Maybe we can finish pulling down confederate statues next? #maddow

Russian FPV drone struck a civilian car carrying a family in Kharkiv Oblast. The father was killed. His wife and 14-year-old daughter were injured. #HumanSafari #Ukraine

Turns out history museum visitors want to learn history! “I have great confidence,” US museums pioneer Bryan Stevenson [of @eji.org ] said, “that this nation is great enough to learn the truth of its history and still succeed.”

Just saw a BBC report about this. Imperial War Museums in London using #AI to transcribe and index voice recordings from the museum collections. Oral histories are now searchable, making it much easier to use the recordings. Amazing! Can’t wait to see in person! www.capgemini.com/gb-en/news/c...

Probably not how anyone expected it to end. Things don’t always go according to plan!

22 September 1939 | Dutch Jewish boy, Abraham de Leeuve, was born in Zwolle. He was deported to #Auschwitz from Westerbork on 19 Oct 1942. He was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection with his mother, Dina. --- VIDEO: The first two gas chambers near Birkenau: https://youtu.be/Rr6lF75fDmU

"Anger at AI, smartphones, and social media—and more specifically, at the exploitative practices of the companies operating them—has galvanized people all over the world, from the youth above, to artists and advocates and academics." www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-luddit...

The Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia (JERAA) has condemned President Donald Trump’s ban on Australian ABC journalists at his UK press conference jeraa.org.au/jeraa-statem...

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

I read that as “Pay-Ban” and I think that is right. You can pay Zuckerberg to moderate your life

In London, hate will never win.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Wonderful tribute to small museums from @theguardian.com! I am chair of @aaslh.org’s Small Museums Committee, and this article is spot on: small museums tell the story of who we are and who we have been. They can use the past to explain the present. #museum www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Something needs to be said: the staff and volunteers at @aaslh.org are simply amazing! The conference was flawless. Everything worked. Managing a gathering for over 1000 people, including food, transportation, events, panels, and more is not easy. So congratulations on a job well done! #aaslh2025

Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update. ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting. She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.

Today’s favorite comment at #AASLH2025 “The Underground Railroad is not an adventure story.”

Hello, #aaslh2025! I am slowly making my way back home and I hope everyone has a safe journey. What are your favorite moments from the conference? What will you take back with you and get to use? @aaslh.org

Important to have these: Mission statement Code of ethics Disaster recovery / emergency response Strategic plan Collections management plan #aaslh2025 @aaslh.org

Gooooooooooood morning, AASLH! What are you excited about today? I’m starting today attending the Policy Potluck session. Policies keep a museum stable, especially in times of stress. @aaslh.org #aaslh2025
