Who needs Joe Lieberman when you have the grim reaper.

Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Tuebingen, Heidelberg, Salamanca, Bologna. Tweet should've ended with "america is the only country i can think of"

doesn't hold up the slightest scrutiny regarding the performance of the French Revolutionary armies prior to 1801, or of the Roman consular armies in the early 1st century. Or, really, of Alexander's record against states other than the Achaemenids.

Great man theory is mostly a dumb way to approach history except for Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon where I think you kind of have to hand it to them.

That this would happen was obvious at the time: "Learn to Code," was always clearly a slogan meant in part to reduce the individual power of tech workers to demand higher wages by drawing young, high-debt workers into that sector of the labor market.

As someone who was in high school in the late 2010s it’s really hard to exaggerate just how completely contrary this is to everything we were told/promised. A lot of kids planned the entire lives around the idea that STEM was the way to go.

"The princes, putting the words of their wise men to naught, thought each to himself: If I but strike quickly enough, and in secret, I shall destroy those others in their sleep, and there will be none to fight back; the earth shall be mine," - A Canticle for Liebowitz.

every where you look, the world is being steered towards a sort of darkness that feels like it’ll be permanent. cheering genocides, hastening fires and floods that swallow everything in sight, building weapons that promise to kill as many people as possible, and for what

His unfavourability with tory voters fell one point, in the U.S. this would be considered a biblical, election winning shift by the 'big tent,' types.

I think the people insisting American democrats follow roughly the same policy trajectory should be made to explain what they think is going wrong in the UK

How much taxpayer money do DC and neighboring counties waste giving every cop contingent coming into the city for cop week an armed honor guard escort? Is the metro too dangerous for our brave praetorians? Are parking fees terrorism?

unfortunately this is how many people in j school talk.

@StevenWallaby 'the motherfucking legendary photo' is so funny

not to Everett post 2 days in a row, but it's v funny seeing formalism/futurism revival types get pissed about James winning the pulitzer ostensibly bc Everett deliberately alienates readers. everyone can see what your actual objections are you illiterate racists.

Hard to go to bat for catholic intellectuals when then their lit crit is all: "Why is this kid's name Not Sidney Poitier? Dumb thing to name a kid."

I once opened the novel that was just awarded the Pulitzer Price. The author is apparently under the impression that Kierkegaard (whose works were not even translated into English until the 1930s) was a name to conjure with in antebellum Missouri.

Chipotle's same-store sales dropped 0.4%, first time they had that problem in years. Massive red flag for the whole restaurant industry and the health of consumer spending. (In Q4 2024 that metric was +5.4%) This earnings season will get ugly.

And the NSDAP's import/export control regime was all about raising $ to finance rearmament. The analogy breaks down given the goals, like the Trump tariffs aren't about recapitalizing Electric Boat or Lockheed Martin, but the Atlantic has never been above a clumsy 3rd Reich comp

Adam Tooze @adam_tooze

Huhhh???? Balance of payments control in Third Reich depended not on tariffs but on far more intrusive fx rationing and quotas. Article paywalled. But the headline makes no sense!
