Opinion: The beautiful game has been caught up in Trump’s ugly politics. Can political protest redeem it?
There are growing calls for boycotts of this summer’s World Cup, co-hosted by the United States. But crass partnership with autocrats is a FIFA tradition

It's Holocaust Remembrance Day, so I'm taking a minute to repost this item on the medieval social and economic historian Łucja Charewiczowa, murdered in Auschwitz on 17 December 1943. #medievalsky
This is Łucja Charewiczowa. A professor at the University of Lviv in the 1930s, she wrote on the economic history of Poland and the Black Sea region. In 1940 she joined the underground resistance. She was imprisoned (prisoner 64373) and murdered at Auschwitz in 1943. #SkyStorians #MedievalSky

The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is 30 year old today. with an inception date of 26th January 1996.
It turns out that although not in any sense breaking new scholarship, it remains my most longstanding contribution to the republic of letters.
