Well I assume you can or have contacted him if you ever wanted to as yall overlap a lot. His Bad Faith book did for me. But I think back to most red scare books and it is a lot of “they really weren’t communists (anymore).” My own historical actors as well—sometimes.

Oh. This is interesting! I have not considered this tendency before but it’s definitely something I see. I just tried to tag Andrew Feffer. Would have sworn he was on Bluesky

The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

Thank you for saying this. It’s a populist, white male movement with aesthetics of leftism rather than aesthetics of the right. But it’s just aesthetics.

And the GOP is the end result of it. Ultimately when you fail to constantly signal that rapists or (insert any other such evil actors) are unwelcome, they will see it and they will increasingly make your group their own. The Dems aren’t immune because of ideology. It must be constantly reinforced.

And this is why it’s important to “gatekeep” political power from rapists. Some think Swalwell/Platner are anomalies in the Dem Party because they see some aspect of its positions that precludes rapists from gaining power. Not true. They are evidence of what happens when you aren’t vigilant.

My son had a dress up day for school and the theme was geology and climate. He wanted to do a tsunami. I showed him the Great Wave Off Kanagawa and he loved it. Here is ours.
A Tshirt on which I replicated the Great Wave off Kanagawa painting. It’s a large wave crashing over a boat with Mt. Fuji in the distance.

Well, I’ve finally been cured of imposter syndrome. A student walked up to me on the stairs and said, “you look like someone who would have an extra highlighter.” F. That obvious?

This is exciting! It’s a very useful topic in which, I assume, Dr. Aubin can tear down the sacred cows. I’d be willing to bet it’ll also help introduce historiography to her broader history audience in important ways.

Today as students tried to define “History,” they ended up having to define “events” as well. This led to them discussing categorization. Ultimately they then considered how the questions we ask determine the categories and data connected. Man I love my job.

Misogyny & rape are not issues of the left & right. They’re rampant across the political spectrum. They’re issues of our shared patriarchal culture.

Antisemitism is a real and growing issue in American politics and culture, but the fact that American Jewish organizations like the ADL and AJC went harder on Mamdani than on Platner is part of why we are making no headway in fighting it.

If your job is to be a professional talker and you complain about being cancelled for talking you are just saying you want tenure.
