Argentina, which criticises British imperialism in the South Atlantic, does not recognise the sovereignty of the islanders and their right to self determination. For Argentina it’s the “lost land”, but for the islanders it’s their nation. @nytimes.com

Reads: “The Malvinas Are Argentine!” Disappointing, considering that FIFA had banned such provocative action before the match.

This month saw the passing of historian Carlo Ginzburg, a pioneer of microhistory. His focus on defeated radicals and heretics was not just a matter of concern for the past but reflected his thinking on the meaning of revolution today: jacobin.com/2026/06/antifascism-italy-carlo-ginzburg-history

Great to see Cupid and Psyche ‘85 being re-released on 10 July … one of the most delicious albums of the ‘80s, in my humble opinion, loved by Miles Davis who covered its track “Perfect Way”.

We are not in a new Cold War, rather it’s an era of “techno-nationalism” which is driving national security fears over intellectual espionage. #HistoryMatters

The ultimate lesson of Cold War science is that scientific discovery is never politically easy to contain.
