You know what we won't need once handwriting recognition software has done its thing? Archivists, curators, conservators, catalogers, codicologists, or paleographers. We won't need archives either. We won't need diplomatics, editorial theory, book or media history, or material culture studies 🗃️🧵

Gift-link: an utterly terrifying article from Dr. Rachael Bedard. I only note otherwise there's no mention of any cognitive dissonance or permission structures. Imagine knowing--on some basic level--that one was indirectly responsible for their own child's death. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

As I understand things, it's truly a massively successful instance of a political right shifting the Overton window so perfectly that the center-left is still cowering before the same ideology's right-wing media stewards.

I know immigration fits in here, too (but mostly post-Syria?), but still ....

Someone please tell me if this argument is flawed:

2008 financial crisis ➡️ Cameron & Osborne's austerity ➡️ Brexit ➡️ political instability.

Reeves/McSweeney: Keep Brexit in place, don't raise taxes on the rich, placate UK bond market, wave hands ➡️ win over Reform voters devastated by austerity (?).

Ugh, sorry to hear this & think you're right. Not to draw a direct equivalence but it's as bad as the common Anglophone assumption that 'foreign' historians working in their native language & on their own nation's history are ineluctably 'nationalist' (as opposed to EN-monoglot 'global' histories).

Britain’s Most Unpopular Chancellor in Decades Faces Another Big Test

Man, I hope competent Dems and leftwing pols the world over hold up Starmer (/McSweeney) and Reeves' government as a cautionary tale for decades and decades to come and hence salvage something from that slow-rolling, unnecessary train-wreck of 'centrism,' fiscal orthodoxy, de facto austerity, &c.
