I am once again begging everyone to read Wilmington’s Lie
who up thinking about the Wilmington massacre and coup
I have become obsessed with civil war history for a lot of reasons but, as I have mentioned before, a big lesson was how the liberal faction of the republican party negotiated themselves out of power, in large part, because of their own personal interest in “getting back to business as usual”

Everybody is 12 theory remains undefeated, Jamelle is completely right here as he almost always is
anyway we're now at the point where the corner of this place that thinks i'm history's greatest monster is going to start chiming in with rebuttals that only demonstrate how little they've actually thought about how this would work

one thing that stood out reading Into That Darkness by Gitta Sereny is that the men who ran the death camps were often Germans who lived outside Germany and thought that carrying out the killings would prove their German-ness
One basic lesson from political research is that secret police generally rely on mediocre men willing to do the dirty work of authoritarian regimes in order to advance their careers.

it took me over two hours to read my thesis out loud but man did I catch some mistakes that every person who read it (including me!) missed
I tell my students the easiest way to catch mistakes is for them to read their papers out loud, and they always look at me like I'm insane.
But look, that's what we do with our own books! Because it works!

Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”
But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

DEVGRU has to be the most overrated asset in the entire military

This is one of the big reasons why @AFT.org has started the National Academy for AI Instruction - so that educators and students can learn and explore with AI responsibly and ethically, to see what is possible. #TEACH25 … bsky.app/profile/aft....
As Rebecca Winthrop noted, "When kids are in explorer mode, they're unstoppable." But in many current school conditions, only a small percentage of students say they're given the opportunity to explore AI or what they learn. Winthrop says both students & teachers need that chance to explore. #TEACH
