can i just say, from the perspective of a historian who literally has a show about people who did/said things that were objectively f*cked up and should have caused them enormous shame forever: that megyn kelly quote is horrifying

TODAY ON TGS: we’re joined by the incredible Vanessa Williamson @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social to talk about death, taxes, and Martin Witherspoon Gary - a Confederate general who was willing to cause a lot of the former to avoid the latter. It’s a wild ride.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Still looking for some of these! We’ve said yes to a couple of pitches, but are looking for around 3-5 more for early next year.
We are primarily looking for historians of ancient, medieval, and non-Western figures.

Call for (post-PhD) historians and cultural scholars for the pod! We have a specific wishlist of scholarship we’re looking to add to the lineup:
- ancient & medieval history
and/or
- histories of anywhere other than the US and UK, preferably outside Europe
Pitches to: [email protected]

Discovering that there were (are??) people I’ve never met in my life with intense feelings towards/about me was truly one of the most bizarre moments of my life. Rent free and I didn’t even know about it
i said on the other site that once you hit the 10k mark you basically generate your own rogues gallery that hates you and probably is sending your posts in the Discord/DMs
said post got Noah Smith mad at me

It really is true, you get a few thousand random people following you on social media and then people start shadow boxing an image of you in their head

Okay here's an insane non-Epstein-related question: is anybody else only capable of putting things away when they're in piles?

What resonates so grimly with the Epstein crimes is the way rape renders women and girls invisible. Even when the focus is on legal accountability for the men who rape, it’s *their* states of mind, their conspiracies, their infighting that takes up all the oxygen.
