Serendipity is the name of the game. I do talks where I explain the process behind my work and there's always some key part of the project that came to me while I was reading something that wasn't directly related.
Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

I think of this scene EVERY DAY. 😂💔❤️
There is so much for which to remember Rob Reiner. In my family, we have long treasured this one bit he did with Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family." It has always made me laugh, no matter how many times I've watched it. And we all could use a good laugh these days

Sam Smith Lynching
Every December 15, I visit Old Burke Road, the site of one of Davidson County’s most brutal lynchings. On this date in 1924, a group of white men abducted 15-year-old Samuel Smith from Nashville General Hospital and brought him here. 🧵

When I talk to students about public speaking or teaching, I always bring this up: Just tell people when you don't know something! It's remarkably powerful b/c it signals to your audience that you know the boundaries of your expertise and they can trust what you DO talk about.
completely outside of politics, this is so charming

With the deadline looming for colleges to sign Trump's "compact," Vanderbilt must resist, says one university professor.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.
The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.
The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

Saw someone say Vanderbilt "rejected" the compact so I'm reupping that they very much did not. As the student newspaper said, at best, they failed to reject the compact. Students, faculty, and staff should act accordingly.
Vanderbilt has arrived, late to the chat, with this shambles of a response. While technically true, this is a clear abdication of any moral responsibility. They even work in a mention of their commitment to "institutional neutrality" later in the email.
