i have seen nothing to disabuse me of my belief that a good deal of political analysis is driven by the gender anxieties of the analysts themselves

You'll see two extras dressed as Epstein and Maxwell following behind Tom Cruise as walks through the party scene.

The spreadsheet on this clay tablet, which is almost 4,000 years old, is organised into columns for furrowed area, grain produced, land not sown, and the field’s name.

The first field is called β€œOf the soldiers who stood in for their fathers”.

It’s ancient Excel, but I find that incredibly moving

People defending this post are taking way too much pleasure in calling a woman a β€œbitch” and that’s why I don’t like it.

This is one of the most annoying tropes for historians. 'What, you need to go to the archives? Hasn't everything been digitized.'

Honey, not even every book FROM THE 19TH CENTURY has been digitized.

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
β€œDoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”

…sure did the trick

I miss when the internet worked. Trying to search for something and finding everything but. And I used to be good at finding stuff online, it was a whole thing.

The panic over Orson Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast was blown massively out of proportion by newspaper owners trying to tank the reputation of radio as a medium, which is a lesson in how many problems attributed to flaws in human nature are actually five rich guys lying.

It's not just that they get rid, the closest thing the UK has to a national religion is the feeding frenzy when they realise the PM is a lame duck where everyone at all levels of all parties moves in to get a bite or two in and they eat their prey alive before choosing the next tribute as PM

Turned off YT shorts 2 days ago and the number of bullshit AI videos I'm seeing has already gone down by like 4 orders of magnitude, try it, nobody should have to exist in a sea of garbage and that includes your eyes

I also meant to write an essay last year about how JRRT writes the Shrie as a secular (semi-)industrialized democracy and portrays it as worth defending, although his depiction also isn’t wholly uncritical.

But last year was a bad year for writing.
