Congratulations, but sadly scholars who’ve contributed to this success are forced to leave the university after 8 years due to the chain contract regulation. Almost 90% of academic staff live and work precariously—are on limited contracts because the @univie.ac.at does not offer permanent positions

Just unbelievable how horse-shitty some people can get about what "populism" is or isn't. It's like Fukuyama has never heard of the Blood Libel, or the Protocols, or "Judeo-Bolshevism".

Naslovnica taz.de, rubrike ispod headera su nahost-konflikt, usa unter trump, drohnen, i klimawehr.

Ako su ljevičari vjerojatno čitaju TAZ, gdje je doslovno na vrhu naslovnice link na rubriku o SAD pod Trumpom, gdje su među prvim vijestima dvije o ICE i vojsci u gradovima. Die Zeit je nešto gori, ali i tamo sam brzo našao reportažu o ovoj temi. A na društvenim mrežama je ova tema još prisutnija...

The developing world that could not afford green transition is doing it; the world that had all the money and alleged industrial policies for greening is back to fossil fuels and militarization.

A map of part of the Bloor West bike lane showing that a section beween Islington and Resurrection Rd was prioritized for removal. Nearby streets curve off in various directions, avoiding railway tracks and providing no straightforward alternative.

A map of part of the Bloor West bike lane showing that a section beween Islington and Resurrection Rd was prioritized for removal. Nearby streets curve off in various directions, avoiding railway tracks and providing no straightforward alternative.

This "priority removal section" for the bike lane on Bloor W demonstrates that Ford and Sarkaria were never serious about finding parallel secondary routes. Where is the parallel route here? They don't care. www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

Machine learning is a neat tool, but clearly companies are desperate to give “AI” credit for what human scholars accomplish in part because companies have bet the farm on the idea that human ingenuity is expendable. This historian is extraordinary and deserves the real credit.

Because Wikipedia is one of the few info sources that extremists can’t control (it relies on cited & fact-checked material), they naturally want to shut it down. It’s long been a goal of the Project 2025 authoritarians. Also, many of the blacklisted “sources” are blatant propaganda. Sputnik News? 🙄

Historian friends, I’m looking for a chair and/or comment to join a panel at the Business History Conference in London in March. The panel examines alcohol marketing in the U.S. mid-20th century. If you know someone, please reach out!

Do sada je kategorički tvrdio da neće ići na treći mandat. Ne vidim zašto bi sada dao ovakvu izjavu ako se ništa nije promjenilo. Mislim da je to samo priprema terena za kandidaturu za treći mandat. "Ja sam još 2025. rekao da..."

Tomašević: Možda mi ipak nije zadnji mandat Gradonačelnik Tomislav Tomašević nedavno je izjavio kako mu je ovo zadnji mandat na poziciji prvog čovjeka grada Zagreba, no gostujući u emisiji "Zagrebi po Zagrebu" ostavio je tu opciju ipak otvorenom.

Izgleda da se predomislio...

They only had a limited record library, comprising old and banned records acquired from Vienna's state radio, incl. LM, which they played multiple times a day. Both Allied and Axis troops listened to that station and liked it so much that they protested when the station tried to pull it off the air.

Just found out that Nazi-operated Radio Belgrade was almost single-handedly responsible for making 'Lili Marlene' a hit.
