'History, as Carlo Ginzburg famously pointed out, is an evidence-based discipline... But what does the historian do when there are no sources to answer the question that they wish to ask?'
This symposium sounds fantastic.
All of the clocks in our local leisure centre have been broken for around 6 weeks now. It's 5 0'Clock somewhere... (the free weights section).
I first came across Lucia Osborne-Crowley in 2020, with her memoir I Choose Elena. It remains one of the most powerful accounts of trauma and illness I have read.
Full of admiration for Lucia's ongoing work, especially with survivors of Epstein.

Thank you for the platform! I don't like the phrase 'money can't buy x' (for any x), it's just too vague and not true when taking literally. It was great to juxtapose the ideas abt wellbeing @markfabian.bsky.social and I have been developing with those of @lfitouchi.bsky.social and moral psychology.
i liked 'even in part'
A very useful resource from @rmudie96.bsky.social and the ICON team: www.neighbourhoodscommission.org.uk/pride-in-pla...
"Engaging adults in media literacy education is vital, yet challenging.
Adults are time-poor, lack awareness of media literacy and often overestimate their skills in this area."

Thank you! It's been lovely - the sunshine certainly helps. Salzburg and the Tyrol very much on this list...
There's lots of talk about the growth of Cambridge. But what materials will the buidings be made of?
This @camglamresearch.bsky.social roundtable is focusing on the potential of local stone and the university's collections of natural materials.

Fascinating comparison of Labour's place-based policies and rhetoric over time.
My lukewarm take is that historiography can be just as satisfying as getting in the archives, I love following a footnote.
'If outcomes cease to be politically relevant, policymaking would become a mixture of the purely technocratic on the one hand, and the purely optical on the other. Politics meanwhile would be little more than spin and spectacle – “a game of competitive storytelling.”'

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

We’re in one of those situations where reporting and analysis of what has happened is really useful. And where “here’s what could happen next” will get a lot of clicks but is fundamentally almost useless.
This cottage in Hertfordshire is yours to rent for £1450pm...
...as long as you don’t register to vote.
What a red flag – landlords can't deny your democratic rights.
The big surprise is that the letting agent thinks it’s okay to include in the advert

A former domestic servant, Lily Maxwell was a widow in her late sixties, who worked as a shopkeeper selling crockery, in a property that qualified for the £10 household franchise. Think it's worth noting she ended up dying in poverty, in a poorhouse less than a decade later.

Would also strongly recommend this @londoncentric.media 2025 piece on Criterion Capital's retail sites. Brilliant reporting. www.londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-l...
"Aziz’s Criterion Capital appears to have halted the mass eviction amid political pressure from Sadiq Khan, after we revealed the company’s intention to make vast numbers of private tenants homeless just before renters gain new rights at the start of May."

Perhaps a minor point given the scale of the Send system’s out of control costs, but these were the sorts of “hidden” things that went first when councils began cutting budgets post 2010. It’s taken 15 years, but the consequences of local govt cuts are increasingly a national problem
Graduate salaries 'are not really telling us about the innate value of studying a particular subject at a particular institution. Instead, they are telling us about the value of those qualifications in a particular economy at a particular point in time.'
