Massenhafte Illegalisierung, zeitlich so abgestimmt, das selbst eine Rückänderung des Geschlechtseintrags keinen Schutz bietet

Ich mach mir als Historiker eigentlich keine Illusionen, ob Leute was aus der Geschichte lernen...aber es ist langsam wirklich exzessiv, wie es einem ins Gesicht gerieben wird.
Hoffe, dass die Betroffenen irgendwie Unterstützt werden & diese Ära der Menschenfeindlichkeit bald endet

Sometimes being a historian means you’re reading a peer reviewed article on 17th century Dutch cutlery in order to write an engagement card to a friend

Oh my, that sounds delightful!
Friendship goals

Es ist nicht nur Hagel. Es ist der Moderator, der direkt einen Witz macht. Es sind die Männer, die darüber lachen. Die zustimmend nicken. Die sich denken "In der Situation wäre ich auch gerne mal, höhö". Die sexualisierte Mädchenkörper konsumieren. Die Mädchen als Produkt inszenieren. Und, und, und.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

I tried listening to his podcast years ago and he immediately started to misrepresent pretty basic biology - so basic, that it was painfully obvious to me as a historian...and then he did the same regarding history. Everything delivered with an air of insufferable smugness

Na ja, möchte da menschenfreundlicher sein und schiebs lieber auf andere tolle Facette von Late-Stage-Capitalism, wo einfach möglichst viel rausgechurnt werden muss, egal wie und was - und den Druck, den so was auf Leute ausüben kann.
Aber eben: Verstehen oder gutheissen tu ichs trotzdem nicht!

Verstehs eh von hinten und vorne nicht. Was ist der Nutzen an einem Tool, welches per Design das statistisch wahrscheinlichste & damit bestenfalls mid-tier slop produziert? Mit tollen Features wie Halluzinationen, so dass per se eh nix glaubwürdig ist & alles kontrolliert werden muss...

Ja, genau das meinte ich! + sogar wenn man das nicht mitkriegt, so sieht, whatever, versteh ichs immer noch nicht...weil bei so unterwürfigem Verhalten kickt bei mir der Klassenkampfreflex & glaub gar nix mehr. Braucht bei mir allerdings nicht viel, wurde mir schon in edleren Restaurants zu viel :-P

Jo, finde es ziemliche Red Flag, wenn sich Leute nicht schon vom ganzen mommy-coded 'omg you're so brilliant for asking that' Getue von GenAIs abschrecken lassen - ganz abgesehen von den ganzen anderen Problemen & egal ob man Sachen punkto Framing GenAI als ideal (female-coded) servant gesehen hat

Zu echt. Hagel fand 2018, es gäbe "schlimmere Termine für einen 29jährigen Abgeordneten *grins*" als eine Realschulklasse mit 80% "Mädchen" zu besuchen. Von Eva, die höchstens 16 war, mit "braunem Haar und rehbraunen Augen", war er anscheinend auch angetan.

Immer schade, wenn das Bild so passt

Jesses, spürt sich wirklich überhaupt nicht - so grauslichen Schmarrn offen zu verzapfen, zeigt krassen Mangel an jeglicher (selbst-)Reflektion, selbst wenn die Messlatte am Boden liegt

Prometheus says “hot take” and Greek gods respond “no give that back.”

i am so glad i deleted many years ago and moved to knowledgecommons! hcommons.org

Academia.edu - Find Research Papers, Topics, Researchers Academia.edu is the platform to share, find, and explore 50 Million research papers. Join us to accelerate your research needs & academic interests.

FYI, Academia.edu has changed its terms of service to give an irrevocable worldwide license for anything uploaded to its site to be used for generative AI. I do not consent to this and have pulled all my papers.

Just sever all ties with academia.edu and move instead to a better service like Knowledge Commons: hcommons.org
Here's my profile page for an example of what you can get with ca. 15 mins of work: hcommons.org/members/josc...
Additional advantage: No more spammy, scammy e-mails!

People, go to Knowledge Commons instead! It's free too, but importantly it's open and non-commercial. As a basic example of what you can do with it, here's my page there hcommons.org/members/airm...

That's extremely common?
I mean, I'm honestly surprised that you're not familiar with it, but I guess that it might be less noticeable if you're not on the receiving end of it.
Like, there's tons of statements by politicians, it's been a cornerstone of the Output of Yglesias & similar types etc.

Decline in remote jobs risks shutting disabled people out of work, study finds Research project warns fall in homeworking roles could undermine efforts to reduce unemployment

We invented the Internet to work remotely. Then developed all the tools we might need. Then had a world historical event prove that remote work was effective and necessary.

I honestly have trouble thinking about anything engaging with that theory because it seems so obviously absurd.
I guess one could regard e.g. the whole research into managing commons and sustainability (in various forms) as an implicit repudiation

I think it's completely absurd and the premise can be easily disproven by looking at loads of things - e.g. alpine village charters often started by stating plainly that you need rules because otherwise people would forget how to preserve the commons properly!

It Happened to Me: Someone I consider a dear friend asked me how my manuscript is coming along

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

Some Ethiopian coffee today, prepared in the traditional manner and served in a cup decorated with scenes of St Frumentius sailing to Axum, converting the king and erected stelae

Yeah, I'm writing about animal history and there's a reason why that includes stuff like how people in the middle ages were 1) willing to treat animals with kindness & 2) thought animals including cattle had inner lives & were capable of learning - which includes a reference to the tool-wielding cow

I keep this image on my desktop now because of how often I have to use it.
