it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease
Please check out this *fascinating* programme for next week. I'm really looking forward to attending online as much as I can. There are some really neat talks that are going to be there, and lots of friends of @globalmarhist.bsky.social like Meaghan Walker and Seth LeJacq

Why is he 40 but looks like he is old enough to have personally signed the Fugitive Slave Act into law?
It is remarkable that Harvard can keep any credibility doing this. It's literally soliciting $10m a pop for endowed professorships to be held by people who are opinionated against what the evidentiary approach, in regular professorships, found, because the evidence is inconvenient to right wingers.
When rural hospitals close, it sets off a chain reaction. Facilities disappear, people have to travel and time lost causes deaths.🏥🪦
The bigger issue is access vs. affordability. The U.S. already has a system where care is technically available, but not equally accessible.

Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately

What about you Keen? LL Bean? Sitka Gear? Yeti? You don’t think the people who work at the USDA Forest Service wear your items? What about those of us who visit the National Forests? We love our National Forests across the 50 states!
One of the Artemis astronauts stood up immediately after splashdown and started collecting his carryon bags even though he was seated in the back row of the capsule.
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
Everyone is forgetting these marine workers trapped around the strait.
The white flag, aka the official flag of the Confederacy
Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.
all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
The Hungarian parliamentary elections are 4 days away. They will test whether a hugely unpopular and corrupt authoritarian can cling to power with the help of big lies, a false flag fake terror thing, and the support of Vladimir Putin, Benyamin Netanyahu, and JD Vance (who is on site). (1/2)
this man is a hero, could easily be called a living martyr. when you ask americans why we arent ‘in the streets’, its because tucker collins will be demonized, maybe arrested, and the officer will probably get a raise. this is what happens at the planned, mainstream peaceful protest.
Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.
