GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

He designed the sapphire and diamond coronet in 1840; it was made by Joseph Kitching and appears in a 1842 portrait by Franz Xaver Winterhalter. #OTD 📷 V&A Museum, RCT

Digitising archival materials is fantastic, but as this article highlights, only small percentages of archives have their materials digitised (think 3%-15%). Physical archives are still very much required by historians and researchers. A really good read for anyone wanting to know more...

Archives are precious, but most of the stuff I work with hasn't even been collected by archives! Defend your local archives. Expand them. Donate things to them. Preserve the things others haven't!

I recently read that on this day in 1918, eligible women in the UK voted for the first time in a general election and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Women suddenly became 43% of the electorate, a staggering percentage to think of.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

Writing is thinking. It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.
