Tedious pedant, joyless puritan and penny-pinching miser, at least according to my friends. He/him. Communist.

"The Renaissance" is not a result of a linear "revolution". It was a medieval phenomenon, rooted in ideas circulating for centuries (Giotto was born c. 1267). The Middle Ages had multiple periods of seeing "classical" ideas as fashionable. Works like Vitruvius were widely read and influential. 1/

one thing that fascinates me about the modern techbro-fascist movement is their complete fascination with destroying their own personhood. previous fascist movements flirted with it, sure, but they always promised an elevation of the human spirit through obedience and submission to the state

To those saying ‘the NHS is a bottomless pit of money’ please take a look at this graph from the commonwealth fund, (an independent think tank in Washington that assesses different healthcare systems) in 2024.

We spend less than many comparable countries on health.

Oh, it is this time of year again: did people in medieval Europe have a different relationship with work and free time than we do? Yes, of course. Did they just lie around half of the year doing nothing and enjoying their church-prescribed holidays and basked in their free time?

No.

I like that name for it! Me and my brother separately started referring to it as 'if only the Tsar knew', after the events of the Russian Revolution of 1905
Scheming Byzantine Eunuchs Theory remains one of the best frameworks for understanding american governance
as Musk hurts more and more people, the next discourse will be "if only trump knew, he would ..." At least that's what happens next with the corrupt first minister/grand vizier/etc. discourse.

Oh great Lord Slaanesh, send forth your servant, the Daemon Prince Doomrider!

Let our enemies tremble in ruptured awe before his fearsome visage!

Grant them an exquisite death, crushed beneath the flaming wheels of his chromium steed!

Were there really barbarians in Mainz in 406? What was "news" in late antiquity? In case you missed it, my new open access paper that rethinks the founding events of the end of the Roman empire in light of female agency and the understanding of history.

All you people who are outraged about Ethan bullying a propalestine streamer

Where the fuck were you when Kira was banned for supporting Palestine?

Kira cares so much about helping others and she's helped so many of us in so many ways, without asking for much in return or being rewarded for caring about others.
Let's help her now that she asks for it, because she definitely deserves all the help we can give!
