Russia has one enormous strategic advantage of which it is taking advantage. It can daily attack civilian targets--hospitals, universities, markets--knowing that while Ukraine can do the same, the Ukrainians are too humane to do so.

Last week the posy I brought home from the garden had a chrysalis attached though I didn't notice till I got home. If you, like me, haven't watched a butterfly emerge you won't be prepared for how amazing or how long emergence takes #TinyJoys a 🧵

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

Original Tweet from @Mantia: What’s something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?

Quote tweet from @hwitteman: That $35 that scientific journals charge you to read a paper goes 100% to the publisher, 0% to the authors. If you just email us to ask for our papers, we are allowed to send them to you for free, and we will be genuinely delighted to do so.

Going to give Monnett a bit of a try as a potential long term alternative to Insta. Like the values, first impressions are that it needs a fair bit of work, but hopefully it gets there.

It’s been 5 really good days in Kyiv and 🇺🇦. Most important takeaways are gathered in the below video. 3 points: 1) 🇺🇦 will win. What victory will look like and how long it will take is still too early to say. European support will determine how long and how many sacrifices 🇺🇦 needs to endure! 1/3

it's open access. doi.org/10.1016/j.de... Thanks Kristina, Alar, Priit & Lisette for inviting me to play with this super ship with its lovely oak timbers. Daly, Sohar, Läänelaid, Lätti & Reinvars, 2026. Timber for a medieval Cog – Wood studies of the Lootsi 8 wreck, Tallinn. Dendrochronologia 97.
The photo shows a close-up of the hull construction of the Medieval Cog found at Lootsi street 8, Tallinn. The lower planks are flush, while the higher strakes are clinker, all oak. There are battens inboard, at the join of the flush-laid planks. The iron nails that join the clinker planks can be identified as iron oxide encrustations on the outer hull. One of the frames and two ceiling planks can also be seen. A fall of snow has settled on the timbers. It was a very cold day when we did the sampling.

So it turns out that Iran is already collecting tolls of up to $2million to let ships transit the Straits of Hormuz. And those ships are paying in Chinese currency, to escape any US sanctions. So, so much winning by Trump. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

entirely possible, except this instance will have a much longer tail because we’re creating new enemies by the minute and the potential consequences of the whole world fucking hating us continue to grow considerably more terrifying.

Over 20 people injured by the massive Russian attack on Ukraine last night. Thousands of people without electricity. Every time I type up these long lists of injuries,deaths,losses,destruction, damages, I think how little they convey the reality of the Russian attacks. 📹Kharkiv & Kharkiv region

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

If the ICE situation isn't very directly raised this St Patrick's Day, it will be utterly cowardly and craven. It would make the whole (often embarrassing) tradition of shamrocky forelock tugging worthwhile. This directly impacts Irish citizens. They have no excuse to avoid the issue

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Trump is arresting journalists like Don Lemon for reporting on his crimes and attacking peaceful protestors like Alex Pretti, who are being murdered and beaten by his ICE agents. Most conservatives won’t say shit about that, but if you call him a fascist, they’ll have a fucking meltdown.
