John Theibault

Unlike the Frankie Valli and Frank Sinatra/Led Zeppelin connection, I think I know how this one fits.
I hope we hear clips of both Cast Your Fate to the Wind and Linus and Lucy.
Will be intrigued to see on whose head judgement will fall.

Gee. I don't know if I posted the cfp or not. But looks like it was a very interesting conference. www.hsozkult.de/conferencere...

(I'm working now on a proposal that might have been relevant.)

This Monday, October 13. The event is blended - at 2 pm (Italy time). Contact me or email <manipulatingflora@gmail.com> for link and details

eine Karte 1764 von Wesel bis Magdeburg, von Bremen bis Eger / Frankfurt. Die Akteure aus den Texten mit Pfeilen eingezeichnet, fast alle fokussieren sich nach Braunschweig, Göttingen, Eichsfeld.

Weser, 9. Oct 1625
Samstag [4.10.] sind 18 Cornet kaiserl. Reiter wieder von Hameln nach Minden zurück gezogen, die eingelegte Garnison zur Bärenburg abzufordern. Zusammen zur Grafschaft Lippe gezogen.
Tilly mit der ganzen Armda durch Hameln durch fort marschiert. ... 1/2

The Nobel's track record on recognizing dissidents in repressive regimes has held up a bit better than I might have guessed.
By contrast, few laud their track record on signatories and facilitators of peace agreements.

One week to go until Lyndal Roper's talk at @ihr.bsky.social!

Bremen, 8. Okt 1625
Braunschweiger liegen auf dem Eichsfeld. Schon 2x mit den Wallensteinschen geschlagen.
Diese sind nicht durchgekommen, wieder in die Schanzen zurück gewichen.
Tilly Lager sterben viele Soldaten Hunger, viele meutern - haben Kloster Fischbeck geplündert. [1] ... 1/4

Nienburg mit Brücker die Weser, 17. Jh

Niedersachsen, 8. Oct 1625
Tilly hat die letzte Nacht, bevor er vor Nienburg aufgebrochen, 50 Zentner Pulver in die Stadt hinein geschossen 💣
Inzwischen befindet er sich zu Münden.
Der Braunschweigische und Holsteinsche Ausschuss, 3.000 stark, haben viel Tilly Volk vertrieben und erschlagen ... 1/3

An amazing opportunity for a PhD and a 4-year postdoc on this important project with the brilliant and lovely @smschober.bsky.social - hair, race, trade and multispecies history!

Almost certainly "Gallica," not "Gublican."

This would take a while to work through. I will note, however, that the first four lines are in German, while the rest is a quote from someone in French.
(French handwriting and German handwriting at the time are a little different, so this is French written in German hand.)

These threads are fun so far.
It is interesting to see which Nobels most frequently fail to honor the deserving or end up honoring the undeserving.
Neither Lippmann nor Dalen really count as "undeserving" so much as less obviously deserving than some others who were also eventually honored.

Registration is free, and low-cost university housing available.

I'm excited by the theme, encouraging philosophical reflection. Organizers ask not just how sources influence network thinking, but how network thinking influences how we see sources. It'll be a fun conversation.

It’s unsettling to work at an institution that is this dedicated to global collaborative and critical knowledge work and feel the contraction nearly everywhere, in small and big ways.

But I just noticed that BES Wave 30 (May 2025) is the first time in this dataset (2014-2025) that the electorate 'perceived' the Green Party to be more Economic Left than the Labour Party.

The Little Ice Age: The History and Future of a Traveling Concept Since its inception, the “Little Ice Age” has grown into one of the most discussed “traveling concepts” in climate science, history, and communication. This article investigates the contested history...

Looking to get caught up on your #ClimateHistory? This review of the concept of the (early modern) Little Ice Age is very useful: wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1.... #skystorians #MedievalSky #EarlyModern 🧪🗃️ #OpenAccess

The next Historical Network Research conference will be held in Turin, Italy in July 2026, and submissions are now open.

Proposals due December 1. Bursaries available for early career scholars.

This year's theme is "Networks and their Sources." See you there!

Is that a Gillie and Marc statue? I'm guessing so from the rabbit and dog in the background, which are their trademarks.

and it's SO important!

Are you interested in the history of rivers? Do you wonder how historians and environmental scientists can work together? Join the EDHS seminar to hear from the ARTEMIS team about their amazing project exploring the histories and ecologies of the Scheldt. #envhist #histsci #skystorians #dh

Interesting thread... though with the caveat that the data pertains to Norway. I have to wonder if especially post four would hold up for the US or UK.

Thanks to you, Olli, I now recognize sodassa as readily as I recognize kriget, oorlog or valky.

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

Enjoy Augsburg, and good luck in your search for a permanent position.

Dear historians, some of you often think about the Roman Empire, but what about the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation? In an article with Tobias Winnerling, we ask where we can find the #HRE in today’s pop culture. What should we not forget? All tips welcome! #earlymodern #medievalsky #history

It's been interesting to see all the attention to the siege of Nienburg, which gets short shrift in most histories of the Thirty Years War. Even Peter Wilson, who is pretty attentive to the military history of the war, devotes just one sentence to it.
