Calling these people children is an insult to children

Good moment for @criterion.bsky.social to feature French films of the 1930s on the Criterion Channel.

Not just the headline

The fanfic writes itself

Living in MD has made this much more real than it otherwise would have been. Know at least two people laid off, one in hiring freeze hell, another sure they will lose their job. Met several getting resumes ready for the inevitable. Another just trying to make it through sanity intact

The adl has been a scandal for a long time

Could someone provide a gift link to this article?

I feel like I will never win the battle to convince my students that we cite ideas not just quotes

Was just at a panel where someone upped John Roberts the institutionalist would save us lol

Obviously cancel your subscription if you were a holdout

I am completely unsure of what kind of standing issues are at play here but would still like to know where @historians.org is here

I'm really excited to be able to share the cover of my new book, "Between the Sheets: Sexuality, Classified Advertising, and the Moral Threat to Press Freedom in France," coming out in July with @cornellupress.bsky.social and available for pre-order at www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

Would really love to know how he defines extreme left.

Have an essay in this upcoming volume on the history of Paris. Get your library requests in! #skystorians #frenchhistory #historyofsexuality www.routledge.com/The-Routledg...

I keep getting hung up on the fact that for all the horrors they're causing, they're ultimately just a bunch of stunted children. This is like 8 year old behavior.

I tweeted at Noah Smith once and he immediately blocked me. Meritocracy!

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Was just chatting with someone who moved to MD to start a new job which has now been frozen. Just completely ruining people's lives so Elon can be the cool kid

Going to try to make that more coherent. Any commentator who thinks iq measures anything besides the commentators own belief in eugenics doesn't deserve a fancy perch in our media ecosystem.

Andrew Carnegie was also a bad person

Looking forward to later psychohistories of the moment, where a giant man child who thinks the letter "x" is cool (I will never get over this) has decided that he can remain top of the cool kids by bullying what he perceives as a bunch of nerds.

The opening anecdote of the usa today report reminds me of the debate over how to teach reading in the More than Words Podcast. Some who advocated for approaches other than phonics claimed that phonics was "stale" and "boring." But it might not be to the students learning to read!

On the bright side, at least it was necessary to purge the military brass?

😳

Lol, "creeping" politicization

For fuck's sake could anyone with any power please start doing the bare minimum? Or did I just miss when Tiger Woods became a fascist? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Very much agreed on this and is being discussed here amongst those acting in opposition to the demands of the letter. Where is the AJCU?

I'm really going to miss mail

Pathetic

Saving this for my upcoming comments on a workshop on women's justice where I'll be speaking about, among other things, the problem with men

Just amazing misread of the what's needed here. Not to mention how actual news is getting reported right now.

And Paris part of my trip reserved with no airbnb. Can't wait to take a break from this country

Democratic Senators voted unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio.

Anyone still unironically using the term "woke" as an analytic frame doesn't deserve a spot in one of the nation's premier magazines.

Baltimore representing

Jesus

Why is there no coverage of the protests in the new York times? At least as far as I scrolled down
