Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

This feels very connected to the great Elephant Graveyard explanation that moments of social disruption cause Guys to want to leave where they are and become Totally New Guys. The Guy Economy is very threatened by that www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvR...

Lembrando que a Tarifa Bolsonaro-Trump está sendo comemorada pela direita do nosso congresso, majoritariamente pelo PL.

Lembrem disso na próxima eleição.

“Indeed, it demonstrates that despite his self-image and in ironic contrast to his critique of his predecessor, Trump may be turning out to be the most impotent American president of the modern era.” ~ David Rothkopf @djrothkopf.bsky.social

The breakup between Trump and Musk is playing out in a manner befitting an era of hyperreality: with stunning speed, wild recriminations, and in public via television and their own social media platforms.

Success in academia often has more to do with luck, patronage and the job market than “hard work”.
Good academics acknowledge this.
I worked hard, but I was in the right place at the right time on occasion. Historians far more talented than I have fallen between the cracks.
