6 November 1939 | Sonderaktion Krakau, a German pacification action in Krakow targeting the Polish academic community. 183 people were arrested, mainly professors and lecturers of the Jagiellonian University. Most were imprisoned in KL Sachsenhausen. At least 20 of them perished.

What happens when nationalist history meets the horrors of empire? For @jacobinmag.bsky.social, I reviewed a new exhibition on British counterinsurgency at the Imperial War Museum jacobin.com/2025/11/brit...
Reckoning With Empire at Britain’s Imperial War Museum
An exhibition at London’s Imperial War Museum offers a welcome corrective to the nostalgia for empire common among Britain’s elites.

Ok, so let's talk a little bit about how the Romans understand magic and why they think putting phallus-shaped objects (fascina, sing. fascinum) are witch-craft related and how that connects to our word 'fascinate.' 1/
Hmmm: Borrowed from Latin fascinātus (“to enchant, bewitch, fascinate”) [makes sense so far] from fascinum (“a phallus-shaped [lol wut] amulet [wait what] worn around the neck [WHAT THE TARPEIAN FUCK] in Ancient Rome; witchcraft”) ... itself of obscure origin.

The SS Totenkopf is not only a Nazi symbol, but symbolized the part of the SS directly responsible for the extermination of European Jewry in the camps. It is arguably, although arguing such a thing is pointless, a more potent symbol of evil than the Hakenkreuz itself.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.
