All this is to say that, as a reader, I find this focus on debuts as this big sink-or-swim thing for writers Not The Best Thing. What happened to the idea that a writer could debut relatively quietly and then gradually build a career as their writing skills matured?

This caught my eye. Adopting any far right policy, makes a party far right. That’s it. There’s a saying about if 11 ppl sit down for dinner with a Nazi, then there are 12 Nazis. This idea you can pick up far right policies & not be far right is such a denial of history & fact.

Ok, putting on training wheels for this conversation. The main reason historians don't really like the notion of a "fall" of the Roman Empire anymore is because the transition between the Western Roman Empire and its barbarian successor states was far more orderly than people imagine

Why is it important to include references to slavery on blue plaques, National Trust properties, etc? Because otherwise people are convinced that somehow those lovely houses were gifted to certain British families by the fairies, and don't think about where the money came from.
