the reason its bad to run universities like businesses is that almost all businesses fail on any reasonable timeline of evaluation.

NC would collapse with 3cm and the edge of the freeway was littered with stranded SUVs driven by people who thought they were in invincible rocket ships even though they lacked winter tires.

The reveal in a mystery shouldn’t feel like a cheap cheat, but I really think if you are emotionally invested in getting the solution, these films have failed in making the process into the main event, which it should be!

Musk’s weird obsession with Germany pretty neatly tracks him spending time in Berlin to build the gigafactory and discovering it is not actually a Bavarian village

I checked out of the Craig era Bonds after Casino Royale because it seemed to have made their point and after that it was just more of a descent into incoherent ugliness

Porträt von Stefan Zweig

"Denn der Nationalsozialismus (...) hütete sich, die ganze Radikalität seiner Ziele zu zeigen, ehe man die Welt abgehärtet hatte. So übten sie vorsichtig ihre Methode: immer nur eine Dosis (...) und dann einen Augenblick Abwartens, ob das Weltgewissen diese Dosis noch vertrage."
Stefan Zweig (1942)

‘An exploration of issues relevant to anyone interested in the practice of history’ George Bodie Lecturer in History at Goldsmiths, University of London I’d go for three books which, in very different ways, have made huge contributions to the discipline. The first is Ned Richardson-Little’s The German Democratic Republic: The Rise and Fall of a Cold War State (Bloomsbury). At a time of increasingly fractious debate around the legacy of the GDR, Richardson-Little provides a concise and authoritative account of its history, rising above the culture wars that have engulfed the topic. If Richardson-Little’s book demonstrates the historian’s ability to intervene calmly in divisive debates, my next choice does quite the opposite.

The German Democratic Republic: The Rise and Fall of a Cold War State made the History Today Books of the Year 2025 list! www.historytoday.com/archive/revi...

Young Republicans chapter plans to host far-right German leader after ‘I love Hitler’ chat The New York Young Republican Club will host Markus Frohnmaier, an AfD deputy chairman, at its annual gala after calling for a ‘new civic order’ in Germany.

In Aug., the NY Young Republican Club posted a statement to its website in support of the AfD. The statement concluded with the phrase “AfD über alles” in bold, a play on the line “Deutschland über alles,” which was frequently used in Nazi propaganda www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Good thing the UK is doing so well that it has the luxury of the national press corps obsessing over something like this

The Devil's Bargain Nazism and the moral collapse of German Christendom.

“Rather than struggle to convince the German people to let them do their worst, it would be more historically accurate to say that Hitler and his band of true believers rode a populist wave of homicidal ideation straight to power.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-devils-b...

For some academics the methodology really seems to be: why engage with what someone has actually written when I can get mad at an imagined argument that is not actually in the text?

Once I found out the original ending was him getting busted by the sheriff but it got pulled by the studio for being a downer, it stands out so much that that subplot goes absolutely nowhere and they made no effort to resolve it.

I am always shocked as a Canadian how much history has taken place in the country that is nowhere on the radar of the general population. like you said, it’s fascinating!
