Well I am incredibly busy and that is why I have spent the last half an hour trying to find out what the Algerian word for the Algerian Nuthatch is. (Related: Google Translate is rubbish at Arabic.)

I want to sign up for a digital comics subscription. Thinking of Global Comix because I like a lot of non-Marvel/DC but disappointed they don't have any Tillie Walden. Any better options out there?

Also, how about this one? Did all alehouses have names and signs? Like, obviously the Mermaid did, but what about that bench outside the Widow Smith's single room hovel where she'd pass ale out of the window to you to take home in your own jug?
Question for a kindly early modern scholar. In an English town circa 1600, what could you buy every day, and what only on market day? Ie: townies often had no oven, so presumably the bakery was always open? And the alehouses for those who didn't brew. Anything else?

So many politicians skirt around these questions designed to make them look stupid (and end up looking stupid).
Zach shows that having courage, stating fully what you believe and not falling for this cynical, click-baiting bull can turn the tables.
Morgan looks like a bloviated buffoon here.

Just learned that in Elizabethan England the punishment for "spreading false news" was the pillory - where you could be nailed to a stick by your ears for people to throw stuff at you. Just putting it out there...

Hell. Yes.
And, honestly, looking at the return figures for arts investment, (estimates are that for every £ put in, you get £1.30-1.60 back into the economy), it's essential a no-risk boost even before you get to the secondary effects of improved quality of life and education.

Imagining a parallel world in which 22 billion was injected into the UK arts industry.
I don't doubt there'll be initial investment - from companies ramming AI down people's throats - but ascribing that 'boost' to AI itself is utterly disingenuous. The reporting on AI is like discussing the merits of religion and the existence of god by only talking to the heads of various churches.

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

Hello Bluesky, does anyone know a historian specialising in Early Modern British social history who would like to be asked extremely niche questions by someone (me) with an intense expression and a laptop?
