Having read Anderson on Tooze, and witnessed New School Marxists try to take on Tooze, I'm team Tooze. Just more methodologically open, intellectually curious, and focused on the right issues (climate, China).

i want someone who understands the history of citation to weigh in on the fact that citations are not manually inscribed now, but rather reproduced by citation management software, and whether this affects their spellcasting power

Klar, weil jene, die seit Jahren alles attackieren, was sie als "woke" fantasieren und dann diffamieren, das ja eigentlich als argumentatives "adressieren" intendieren und das, was sie als "woke" behaupten, so immens stärkten. Es geht hier nicht um Stellungskriege, sondern um Vernichtungsfeldzüge.,
Und ja (damit meine ich nicht Sie): Wer immer im eigenen ideologischen Schützengraben bleibt und nur das eigene Lager adressieren will, stärkt damit auch die extremen Gegenpositionen.

In UK muss man das mit einem aus dubiosen Quellen finanzierten Unternehmen (History Reclaimed) machen, in Deutschland übernimmt die CDU-eigene Stiftung die Aufgabe ganz offiziell, kolonialrevisionistischen Mist zu verbreiten und einen dummen Strohmann aufzubauen.
Ich will das schon ernst nehmen aber norbert lammerts Vorwort zum kas reader ist ein wenig beyond parody

extremely sad news that Asad Haider has passed away. i didn't know him personally but it'd be impossible to overstate how important his writing and editing in Viewpoint was to my trajectory. as I said last night, we are losing too many comrades.

Ich krieg‘s noch nicht so richtig zu fassen, aber ich glaube, dass diese strukturell rassistische, spät-imperialistische Weltwahrnehmung von Fritz Merz, deren Umschlagen in ein gravierendes außen- & klimapolitisches Versagen hier von Ann-Kathrin Büüsker sehr gut erklärt wird, & das weitgehende
Diese wirklich tolle sachliche Einordnung von @uedio.bsky.social macht deutlich, warum die abwertenden Aussagen von Merz über Belém (wo die Klimakonferenz diesmal stattfindet) aus diplomatischer Sicht taktisch maximal unklug waren.

Some of you guys need to learn to like things without having to make them communist. “Pickup basketball in my neighborhood after work provides a space free of the extractive logic of capital” no it doesn’t.

Deswegen ist es auch gar nicht nur gut, wenn diese Liebes-Slogans zu vordergründig werden, glaube ich zumindest. Die überschreiben auch was.

Den Hass und die Ablehnung, die - vor allem erkennbare - Queers erleben, können sich viele, die sich als "normal" sehen (und so gesehen werden), nicht einmal vorstellen. Das Privileg der "Unsichtbarkeit" der "Normalität".
Wir haben auf Facebook die Kommentarfunktion unter dem Post zum diesjährigen CSD geschlossen. Grund sind Hunderte beleidigende und hasserfüllte Kommentare. Die Moderation ist so aufwändig, dass wir diese nicht mehr leisten können.

99% of the population doesn’t know what a Board of Trustees is. They think universities are run by the faculty. Which is like thinking line cooks at McDonald’s are making corporate decisions.
Boards of Trustees ***LIKE*** the Trump demands. They ***AGREE*** with them.

They like the idea of putting the screws on activist, lefty, and Muslim students. They like the idea of a whiter student body and conservative curriculum. They want these things and think $200 million is a fair price.

Zu Beginn des Ukrainekrieges rief die Bundesregierung russische Männer zum Desertieren und zur Flucht nach Deutschland auf. Doch von mehr 6.300 Asylanträgen wurden bisher nur 349 anerkannt. Viele leben nun seit Jahren und in Angst vor der Abschiebung hier: www.taz.de/!6097197
Russische Deserteure in Deutschland: Flucht vor dem Töten
Tausende Russen haben in Deutschland Asyl beantragt, weil sie den Kriegsdienst verweigern. Gewährt wird es nur wenigen, obwohl ihnen die Einberufung droht.

Gestern war der 30. Gedenktag an den Genozid an den Bosniak:innen & der erste internationale Gedenktag.
Zu dem Anlass waren ich & ein weiterer Genozidüberlebender, sowie einige bosnische Diplomat:innen im deutschen Bundestag eingeladen.
Was folgte war extrem traumatisierend.

Since, in the context of this NYT article, the lack of a unitary among method among historians came up, I’m gonna try to explain - to myself as much as you all - what the historical method is. 1/
We do have a method and ethos though, it’s literally called the historical method, and while there are many ways in which to follow it I don’t think it has changed fundamentally. And part of it is about source criticism, intersubjectivity and transparency, all things that AI famously lacks.

The danger right now is not just that Schengen collapses, but that it transforms into a stable system of racialized mobility where freedom of movement is still guaranteed for white (passing) people but there remains a hard border for minorities.
It is peak “Brussels Bubble” for the EU to celebrate 40 years Schengen rather than address that Schengen is “melting before our eyes.”

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

This article in the Financial Times is encouraging US citizens to move to Europe. There are so many layers to it but the underlying vibe is “not all of you”. “Fortress Europe, so unwelcoming to people from poor countries, keeps one gate permanently open for Americans”. Quiet part, out loud.

If you stop thinking that Germany's response to anything Israel is about Holocaust guilt and instead about rewriting German history, you'd understand German politics better. 🧵
