Trump’s War on Carolina Carnations
Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

Inca society kept records by encoding information into knotted cords called khipu. A new analysis of hair woven into these cords suggests this record-keeping was practiced by commoners as well as elites.
Who made these knotted records during the
Inca Empire?

I write serious history—via biography—for a non-academic audience. So I'd like to say something about Ken Burns's remark, something that also explains why AI can't write history.
Pardon me for citing the example of one of my books, "Custer's Trials," on one of history's best-known figures.

“We wanted to rid ourselves of the fashions of historiography,” Burns summarized at one event, “and make a film that simply shows what happened.”
That’s not how history works though. You’re making an argument about what happened & what mattered even if you don’t realize you’re doing it. 🗃️

“whatever you write, you are taking a stance on your subject and on the practice of history itself. the suggestion that other historians are not also interested in ‘show[ing] what happened’ is, at best, careless.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...
