There must be an early modernist out there who (a) has a full set of Samuel Pepys' diaries on their shelves; and (b) points to those shelves every time someone asks them how they would describe themselves as an academic and says, "these are my Pepys".

📣 Kneecap statement repost from X:

submitted 34 days ago • 91 comments

Our post offering #Kneecap an all profits to charity gig has been taken down. The reason? The offer also included a hit on Netanyahu from part of the profits (as if we could do that 😂) But anyway, who doesn't want that outcome for the genocidal psychopath?? Very poor @bsky.app

In #Gaza, people continue to be treated like pinballs forced to flee in search of safety that doesn’t exist. With nearly 20 months of war, people are exhausted, disoriented, grieving, and constantly in fear. This hardship and uncertainty must end. #CeasefireNow

#AThousandBlows was 'woke nonsense'. 'Overly diverse for the period'. 'Inclusion regardless of accuracy'. Some of those early 'reviews' were very interesting! The late-Victorian boxing world in England has LAYERS. I can't wait to share more stories - they really need to be told.

A claim that Dublin is the ninth “unsafest” city in Europe has been shared, despite no reliable evidence that this is the case. The finding was published by an online betting company’s ranking of casino destinations, based solely on surveys. jrnl.ie/6715342b

Looks like even Simon Harris as Minister for Foreign Affairs is now using the term genocide. Well past time now for those who dismissed and, in some cases, denigrated those who raised the alarm to acknowledge this reality.

Success in academia often has more to do with luck, patronage and the job market than “hard work”. Good academics acknowledge this. I worked hard, but I was in the right place at the right time on occasion. Historians far more talented than I have fallen between the cracks.
