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 🗃️🧵

A coat of arms has to be impressive, full of symbolism, it's important, it represents an powerful family or person, so you have to think long and hard about its design and take it very seriously. Or just put some underpants on it. Like Lord Jan van Abbenbroeck did;

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

This piece does an excellent job of articulating a whole list of things I’ve observed in my classes in particular and felt shifting in The Discourse(TM) in general. I may ask my students in History of Classical Greece & Rome to read and discuss it… if they’re able.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

I know people don't think through the implications of valorizing a period of history, or even condemning one, but if you want to talk about the period from 500-1500 as a "Dark Ages" you're implicitly saying both the Roman Empire and Early Modernity are... good. And that's fucked up.

I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.
