“And yet, the demand to empathise with the boys and men propagating this hatred must surely be exceeded by a justified anger on behalf of the girls and women who are the actual subjects of said hatred. If anything, it is obscene that we women are not more furious and more frightened.”

His coarse misogyny is often described as appealing to working-class boys and young men. Is this really the issue?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why the universities of the nations and regions mostly have to die while core cities get choked and inefficient. What a great plan.

Very exciting fully funded PhD opportunity to work on the history of the Salvation Army's HIV/AIDS work. I think this will open up fascinating new avenues for our understandings of religious HIV/AIDS work and activism in the UK. Full details here. northernbridge.ac.uk/media/sites/...

For lovers of snow ❄️ I give you the greatest snow ball fight in history. In 1854 300 people including stock brokers went into snowy battle at Liverpool’s Exhange. The Liverpool Mercury reported “Hats flew away, By the force of the ball, From heads that were grey, Or with no hair at all”.

If you're contributing to your subject association, learned society or other organisation's response to the DfE Curriculum Review (deadline 22 November), you may find the @histassoc.bsky.social 's excellent summary response useful. Kudos too to the HA for referencing the environmental impact of AI.

Wonderful to hear James Marriott, on #R4Today, defend the humanities on human, not just economic principles. As he says, an understanding of the past or a joy in music is of value in itself. It's not just a means to teach employable skills or secure a good starting salary.

Amazing to spy some familiar names (carved on their old school desks) when I got the chance to visit the Upper Bench on my trip to Rugby School today
