If you baselessly accuse someone of fraud under a pseudonym and then keep doubling down while also saying shit like “i don’t want a claim i can’t prove connected to my name” to journalists, guess what, people are going to be motivated to find your name.

I sincerely cannot think of a less provocative, less trolly thinker than Yglesias whose whole thing is mostly just to insist that obviously true things are in fact true.

Is this supposed to be a threat? What are the consequences? Claire Potter unblocked me on Twitter yesterday specifically to fight about Gaza. I'm not broken up that she doesn't like me.

No one should tell anyone what to think, believe, or say. But the 2014 version of @tenuredradical.bsky.social has a petition you might be interested in signing. What happened, Claire?

If you happen to be an historian, and you happen to be in NYC and you belong to the AHA, please come to the AHA Business Meeting (Sunday 1/5, 5:15 pm) to vote in favor of the resolution condemning scholasticide in Gaza. Every vote is needed, as there will be plenty of opposition.

Historians of the US should oppose US-backed genocide.
Did you know that historians usually have a specialty, and while they have the moniker "historian" in common, those specialties usually confine their comments to their areas of expertise. You expecting a comment is kinda like wanting a second opinion from an OB/GYN on your knee replacement.

The fact that someone who probably makes $300,000 a year responds to criticism by complaining about “unpaid labor” is really a perfect epitaph for the Twitter-poisoned history profession

"We need to create a shared educational experience for everyone," says Natalia Mehlman Petrezela, the American Historical Association's designated champion of Israeli scholasticide.
"...we need to create a shared educational experience for everyone — whether they attend college or not.

The American Historical Association is about to vote on a resolution condemning the Israeli destruction of every educational institution in Gaza. The spokespeople for the pro-scholasticide wing of the historical profession are Roger Horowitz, Suzanne Marchand, and nataliapetrzela.bsky.social.

Jimmy Carter, 1924-2024
