En av frågorna Jimmie Åkesson tog upp i sitt tal var återvandring. Jag tror detta kommer bli en av nästa mandatperiods viktigaste frågor för SD. Och det är en tidsfråga innan ordet ”frivillig” stryks.

Den här mannen har överhuvudtaget ingen moral: Statsministern bevistade idag SD:s pågående landsdagar i Örebro och berömde och tackade partiet för dess insatser och detta bara några år efter att Kristersson lovade Hédi Fried att han aldrig skulle inleda ett samarbete med SD.

The world’s first fully-automatic photographic machine debuted in New York City in 1925. Anatol Josepho's "Photomaton" was so popular that people lined up for hours to try it out. At the time, photo strips cost 25¢ and took eight minutes to process and print.

Jag föreslår inte att vi ska försämra föräldraförsäkringen. Dagens nivåer innebär att befolkningen minskar. Det är bra.
Och det vi behöver jobba med är hur ekonomin ska fungera bra när befolkningen minskar.

I would super love it if every time I google a female historian (a daily if not hourly task), google didn’t offer “Is [female historian name] married?” as a “people also ask” option. 🤬

saturation with Tolkien spinoffs has somehow not prepared our culture for the arrival of dark lords bearing a gift that everyone becomes convinced they can wield to accomplish great things but just makes them dependent and start whispering about preciouses if you suggest just throwing it away

The fellowship application I was writing while this went down just got accepted.
Next year, I will be working as a Scholar-in-Residence at the Deutsches Museum in Munich for several months, researching the "Arts of Early Modern Screwmaking."
On the merits of my project! 💪

I just had my work publicly ridiculed by a tenured prof. To all senior scholars who need to hear this: Please don't do this to students (or anyone else for that matter). You have no idea how painful it is. Yes, my topic is unusual & you may not get it, but that doesn't mean it should be made fun of.

Who on here can recommend me the best translations of Hafez? (needed for research, so relatively faithful with explanatory notes useful, but y'know - still actually poetry not translationese if possible!)

That tech CEOS, by contrast, think they should be allowed to make billions from the IP of creatives while ruining the planet is why they are bad-faith actors. 💙📚 🗃
