Totally predictable, and yet still incomprehensible. I suppose Trump gets something out of whipping up his supporters and lying about what happens... but I really can't stress how absolutely bizarre it is to see a party jump at the chance to publicly blast the judge's clerk.

I go back to the BBS days, and I've never seen anything like Twitter in 2023. It's not even "awful comment section on local newspaper." Twitter's algorithm actively thwarts you from finding reliable information on the timeline, in replies, and when you search for keywords / accounts.

"In a ‘City Too Busy to Hate,’ New Attention to an Overlooked Race Massacre"...I'm sick of NYT's running stories on things that historians have focused on for the past 30 years and calling them overlooked. Not just insulting to historians, it's insulting to readers.

Trump's deranged followers think that he is the all powerful Wizard of Oz & nothing can stop him. But Fani Willis just threw a bucket of water on him. He cancelled his press conference.

A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey. Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others - There will be a complete
EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!

Would you have marched in the streets if Trump had blocked certification of Biden's win? If so, Jeff Clark's plan was to have the US Army shoot you.

Because all those pesky forms and laws have derailed children from working in US mines and industry for far too long, Arkansas is now letting children work without permits! Sigh...Progressive Era 1916 Keating-Owen Act, then Congressional action in 1924, finally Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938...

Why can't I have oysters in August in Ireland, like I usually do? Ocean water in Kerry is 4F higher than usual, because the Gulf Stream runs off the coast. Palm trees in the yard. But the heat is moving the Gulf Stream, & eventually it will get colder. Ireland could be Iceland. Climate connects us.

In my 20s, I stole Black lawn jockeys, broke them up on the street in front of peoples' houses, and ran. If they wouldn't break, took them home, and put them under my house. Never got caught.

To reiterate two banal points: 1) The First Amendment has nothing to say about content moderation on social media. Nada. Zilch. 2) For a large well-funded site, trust & safety has to be a priority. It should not be left to developers to do when they have time. Hire people to do it specifically.

Hey folks: Kevin has been kind enough to provide a lengthy list of historians on Bluesky. Give a follow! We live in times that have an extra-special need of historians who can help us understand how the hell we got here, and how we can do better.

Cricket is the most boring game in the world. I've been a saint for 5 days, cheering Australia on for my Ozzie husband. They won the Ashes. But he just told me this isn't THE Ashes. It's the first of 5 tests (5 day games) of the Ashes. No more sainthood for me.

I once spent an evening debating law student Josh Hawley. I was giving a talk on the history of affirmative action; he was leading 3 other Fed. Soc. guys to interrupt me. The "manhood" vibe was nowhere to be seen. It was all awkward little boy. Finally succeeded in making him sit down & shut up.

One reason "why" is because the COVID vaccine showed the immense power of years-long government investment into academic scientific research. The tech bros simply could not square that fact with their rigid libertarian ideology; it broke their brains so badly they became antivax.
