A useful reminder that you *want* 'your side' to be losing military war games a lot.

The whole point is to ask, 'how will this go in unfavorable circumstances' or 'what is the worst, most effective way my enemy can come at me?'

If your military wins all their war games...those are bad war games.

Finland didn't really have a women's suffrage movement. It had a universal suffrage movement.

It was a class struggle.

Upper class women treated working class women worse than working class men did.

Women's rights got a boost from working class men fighting for equal rights alongside them.

Women's contribution to the workforce as leaders of households, craftspeople, or factory workers for example, has been a necessity.

Women having some independence and agency was normal.

Equality and worker's movements were part of one big movement pushing for rights all across the board.

English physician, anaesthetist, and epidemiologist John Snow was born on this day in 1813. Snow is best remembered for tracing a cholera outbreak in Soho to the water in the Broadstreet Pump

This is one of my favorite grave decorations in Arras. More personalized dioramas celebrating professions, please.

The market will just adjust salaries down and the savings will end up in the pockets of the employers who want to compensate for the higher taxes.

A screenshot of an image of the colophon of a c. 1840s book posted on rarebookauctions.co.uk. "London" is printed on the page, and a paper slip reading "Edwards's Parisian Repository, 183, Fleet Street. (Three doors, west from Fetter Lane). [comma after doors in original, those 1840s people fucking loved their commas]

Hey #bookhistory friends, do you know how common it was to paste one imprint over another in fairly 'respectable' books in the 19thC (or before and after the C19, for that matter!)? I've seen this from time to time in cheap, 'unrespectable' C19 books — curious if was done more widely.

Like Sen Van Hollen but these Democrat plans to not pay income taxes is disappointing.

Redistribution seems to hit with the really loud. But doesn’t hit with me, and given Trump’s rise, probably doesn’t hit with a lot of people.

How do you define families that barely have enough? Defy economics.

These women were Golden Age masters — why have they been ignored by art historians? An ambitious exhibition highlights the glory of Low Countries artists still ripe for rediscovery, centuries after their first fame

I just signed a contract with Routledge to publish my second book, titled, Authority and Disruption in Early Modern Maritime Theatre: Mock Kings at Sea. It will be the first comparative study on maritime theatre across multiple cultures and languages.

Really interested in reading about the impact of Iran’s oil on Pakistan right now.

I have a dear friend in Karachi whose been telling me about some of the impacts on individuals,

And I’d love to learn more about it broadly.

But hard to find so far..

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

We have a zine! Over the past year, I've been working w/ Pusat Sejarah Rakyat and the International Institute of Social History to bring together organisations around Southeast Asia working on archiving and disseminating "people's histories" and the histories of social movements in the region. 1/4

More elephants: one with a sword, and one with a rifle.

Demilitarise elephants! The one on the left is holding a rifle, and the other one is using a sword. If only the late Hannibal would have known ...

The man who just experienced his own regime change not too long ago

Should know he needs to withdraw based on free oil tanker passage alone.

And being indirect and holding your cards close to your chest is far more likely to allow room for maneuver.

Isn’t this how Trump is dismantling American democracy.

Yet there usually is a sales pitch that works. Trump is accustomed to hostile sales takeovers. Where his team goes in to find the pain point and the lure price that will move the needle.

Leaving the business in tact enough to make it an asset rather than a deficit.

2) On Iran’s side: electing anyone but the predictable successor is too hard to test. Americans are already angry about the war

2 angles for my analysis. 1) Since Trump’s model is to leave political infrastructure in place but apply pressure to root out an ally,

Then looking for substantial change in regime succession as a metric of success is wrong.

A regime as unbending as Iran’s would produce a predictable successor.

Yeah I strongly dislike the left anti tax movement. There's no having a society just on the back of soaking the rich, even people far lower down the inequality ladder have to contribute. That's fine. We're all in this together.

YES. In the same sentence he said the war was complete, he proposed a policy that would vastly enlarge the war! Media reported the first half, and then later reported a different part to make it seem like a change! But it was incoherent, nonsensical slop all along.

This, too, is sanewashing!

The irony here is that Trump lived to another term on HIS OWN disinformation that he was the clear successor.

Enough people believed the blatant lie, and he actually did become the president.
