The nationally-directed celebrations have always been shallow and jingoistic. Having worked with many in the last few years, I have a great appreciation for the work done by many local groups and institution, which have always been the heart and soul of any successful anniversary.

Quoted in a New York Times article that draws on my book & have a piece in the Philly Inquirer out soon. This fall I’ll doing the Missouri Historical Society’s Jefferson Lecture, Brattleboro Literary Festival, talks in VA, CA, SC, & MN, & have a new book out in Nov. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/m...

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

I don’t know that I’d assume that. Because I’d never seen a bibliography I’ve always assumed it was an inference more than a quantitative assertion based in part on the lack of American fiction (until the 1800s/1810s) and partial inferences based on library catalogues and newspaper adverts.

If not, see Charles Evan’s’ 12-volume “American Bibliography” and the subsequent supplements to it. Try searching the American Antiquarian Society website or if you have access use Readex’s America’s Historical Imprints database. archive.org/details/amer...

He knows he can do whatever he wants now because there isn’t a chance in hell they’d give him another flagrant because the league doesn’t want him suspended for a finals game.

A lot of complaints about Arsenal “time wasting” but their keeper didn’t cause a three-minute stoppage just to fix his ponytail.

Michael Hattem @michaelhattem.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Arsenal weren’t the ones who caused a three minute stoppage so their keeper could fix his ponytail.

Michael Hattem @michaelhattem.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Yeah seeing Ewing, Starks, Clyde, and the others there makes it even more emotional.

Michael Hattem @michaelhattem.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

But there’s no media bias against Arsenal!! 🙄

Michael Hattem @michaelhattem.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

This is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

Michael Hattem @michaelhattem.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I’m old and lucky enough to have seen #Arsenal win the league three times and in many ways this is the most satisfying because it’s the first one for my two boys who are now 20 and 19 and have been supporters from birth.

Is there any greater condescension than thinking you’re going to heaven and all liberals are going to hell? Any greater condescension than claiming you have god on your side?

In “The Memory of ‘76,” I wrote about how, in 1976, Jesse Lemisch had his students collect cheap ephemeral items branded for the Bicentennial and make an exhibit out of them. Prof. Jason Smith at SCSU has done the same thing for the 250 and I’m excited to speak at their exhibit’s opening next week.

I’ve been fortunate to get to travel this year for talks. One of the highlights was returning to City College last week for the first time in 15 years. And I’m looking forward to the Annual Fiori Lecture event at the Massachusetts Historical Society next month. www.masshist.org/events/revol...

My new book on the Declaration of Independence, out in November, is now available for pre-order, which is especially exciting because I still have talks for my previous book over the next few months in MA, TX, NC, TN, NY, CT, NJ, PA, MO, and CA.

Yeah. I worried in advance that they hadn’t won in like 4-5 matches and would be due for a good performance. And that’s what happened. Not having a proper 8/10 also hurt not in terms of attacking but also as an outlet during moments of pressure.

His theatrics are annoying enough but to then follow them up with a boneheaded error… He wanted the cameras on him, well there you go.
