I have an essay in this week’s @bloomberg.com Weekend Edition about ticket stubs and memory and how the ways we catalog our own pasts have been changed by the internet. I’m really proud of it and I hope you’ll read it. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Northwestern has also taken down the Women's Center website as well as information about the Genderqueer, Nonbinary, and Transgender Task Force that I served on as a first year grad student. We always knew Northwestern was a conservative institution but this is beyond the pale.
"Northwestern Libraries removed the mention of diversity on its website, following ... Trump’s executive orders against [DEI] initiatives."
This is embarrassing. Northwestern is a private university and doesn't have to do this. They are CHOOSING to do this.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

...absolutely incredible. Here's what Medieval Bologna would have looked like when all its towers were intact. Florence didn't have so many but did have dozens, so the richest part of the city center would have looked much like this. Much to the despair of the city fire brigade! 11/?

A tour-de-force of scholarship and detective work: Fara Dabhoiwala reveals that a portrait of an 18th-century Black scientist, long dismissed as a caricature, is in fact a record of the man's mastery of Newtonian physics—and the only painting made in 1759 of the return of Halley's comet.
