Feeling a little Ted Kennedy…
Yeah that first paragraph…
In Europe, it’s only libel if it’s false. He’s an asshole. That’s not false. See the trial of Holocaust denier, David Irving, for example. Facts aren’t libelous just because you don’t like them. Come at me, bro.
Girl.
Lol
It’s soooo good!
It’s so good. Almost half of them came up with a better title for the book than the author did!
What historians actually do. You don’t know, you weren’t even there!
Americanists!
Lmao. Girl, shut up.
@rpanchasi.bsky.social several grad students said that the xtreme footnotes exercise was the most helpful thing they’ve done thus far to understand historical research. You’re the GOAT. 🥰
Chicago peeps

Shoes!!!!!
See?!
A lot a lot.
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town
This!
Jesus wants me to have a cinnamon roll and a latte.
No notes
lol! I thought you were my friend! You’re from Canada!!!
Can someone in Canada overnight me a case of assorted McCain’s cakes, please? Please?
“He is an anti-science profiteer.” Gotcha!

I read it in one sitting!!!! I’m telling everyone it’s based on my life. Which is a lie but it’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
Being in a classroom is my happy place. What a fantastic opinionated funny group of young scholars!!!! Madly in love on day one !
@reallyblxndes.bsky.social good luck with first day of graduate school! @ubuffalohistory.bsky.social is so proud of you! And it’s ok to be scared. But you belong there!!!
Why I no longer watch AMC. This fucking commercial plays 30 times during every show.
Invite me to zoom in if you want. My PAs info is in the bio. And THANK YOU!!
I begin this quest tomorrow…
I wanted a second season called The university. It begins with the death of the provost. I feel robbed!
Wow.
History grad students discussing @johnfea1.bsky.social’s Why Study History? on first day on @ubuffalo.bsky.social classes Monday. Can’t wait to teach Historical Inquiry with @kzubovich.bsky.social !!! Let’s go!!
Asking @ubuffalo.bsky.social library to order!

She just linked the instructions.
Doing @rpanchasi.bsky.social’s extreme footnotes exercise for the new @ubuffalo.bsky.social @ubuffalohistory.bsky.social graduate students day one in historical inquiry!!!
Wait…
Of course…
I love this for him
If a student began their commentary with “never seen it but.…” Like I’m not a fan of DA at all but I’ve actually watched it before calling it drivel.
Can he spell “museum?” Has he ever been in one? Like, ever?
Wow
Raw frozen shrimp. Ok.
Yup and I don’t want that negativity out in the world!
I’m sorry and furious.
"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."
Sir…
This book looks awesome!
#academicsky: I have a ‘shit happens’ clause in my syllabi. You invoke the clause on one assignment and get a three-day extension. No explanation required. It cuts down on the need to lie or divulge personal business. #shithappens #happyschoolyear
@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social thanks for coming to Buffalo! @ubuffalo.bsky.social We had a great time!
I really liked him. RIP

Ok…
Sigh…
It’s not like historians have some level of expertise or anything.
Holy shit
Douchey McDoucheface says what?
I order take out really well.
Next time put them both in same skeet! 😌
The "mistakenly" deleted Constitution sections (at least awhile ago) deal w/the need for congressional approval of: suspension of habeas corpus (due process); things like imposing tariffs; & using the military to enforce laws & suppress "insurrections" Read the original online version for yourself
Sigh…
Worked on my “vacation” 8 hours today. Iced my knee which is most unhappy. Purchased a cane. Found out that the emergency orthopedist back home can see me quickly…meaning October.

Whaleboats are the best boats!

Yikes
Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
Hey @politico.com: shouldn’t you actually be concerned about how the current mayor of New York City is handling this?! WTF is wrong with you people.
Instagram restricted me for no reason at all. More and more the universe is telling me to stop most of my social media.

School is beginning in August: cue the stress nightmares. #Sigh #academicsky
The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

“Authors have until the end of August to opt out of the licensing agreement. If they do not, their work will be used to help train AI models.”
I wonder if the Columbia leadership realizes (or cares) how much blowback there might be from *within* the academy. This post, from a Cornell Law professor, is worth reading: 3d.laboratorium.net/2025-07-25-c...
Why are you attacking me?!
What in the world?!?!
