"Christmas was actually pagan originally"

No, it wasn't. There were a number of pre-Christian winter holidays. None of them is Christmas. Most of them weren't even on the same day. And they had other things they were actually about, which contradict Christianity. Saturnalia was about Saturn.

Good god in the fucking foothills I fucking wish elite institutions discriminated against the anti-woke.
it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

Race and gender aren’t the only categories that determine who gets special treatment.

One of the fun parts of posting educational videos is how many people will try to arrogantly explain to you the things you literally covered in the video (usually folks who didn't actually watch it).

This victim told a driver that she couldn't report Trump raping her because "They will kill me." In 2021, another victim said that Epstein told her girls who don't behave are fed to alligators and took her where they die. He threatened to kill her and her son.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

People on the right are so amped up to finally have another mainstream celebrity vocally on their side. Last time this happened, it was Kanye West and he immediately lost his mind.

I say this ALL THE TIME
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

We made a mistake by calling the output of AI ‘slop’. In academia it is now looking much more like toxic pollution, on the verge of laying waste to previously fertile plains. Suing for royalties is only a small part of the battle.

Refusing to take sides in a 'fight over bigotry' is tantamount to taking sides.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

It’s really embarrassing how much certain Democrats are trying to assist the right in enacting Project 2025’s plans to censor the internet and banish abortion access info, sex ed, LGBTQ people, and much more under the guise of “protecting the kids,” who will of course be further harmed by this

+1. As I tried to prove out in my adventure x talk, the point of research is precisely because you *don't know* what you don't know
As both a writer and researcher I am trying hard not to post endless opinions about the latest games drama…

I’m part of a chapter in an upcoming academic book, the chapter title features a quote of mine from the interview that says “research is a creative process”. Yep.

Really funny to come to Bsky of all places and accuse Gavin Newsom of being too "left-leaning".
NEW from Axios 2028: Gavin Newsom's Democratic rivals are plotting how to take down the early 2028 frontrunner, emphasizing how unpopular his left-leaning views are outside deep-blue California.

Axios conversations with more than 20 Democratic operatives reveal what they see as his possible liabilities in a presidential primary.
