- I just re-read, for the first time for years, the memoir I wrote for the British Academy for Jerry Cohen, shortly after his sudden, shocking, death in 2009. Here it is a Word file for those who don't have access to the British Academy volume. www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uctyjow/CPB...

- I just accidentally trod really hard on Kit's tail 😭
- It's the first time he's hissed at me when a carry case isn't involved.
- OK that was quicker forgiveness than I deserved or expected
- well past closing time last night, walking past this hairdressers, their windows fogged up after a day of talking, the hanging lights looking like a New York night rather than a north Essex housing estate. The umbrella handle the only solid shape, and evidence of a last remaining customer.

- Ever wondered how the Dalmatian Dog effect works? The human brain can quickly learn from a single experience and generalize it to related experiences — an impressive feat so far not matched by AI. Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com reveals how this works. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- A very exciting find, but already seeing people throwing caution to the wind and reaching the foregone conclusion that these were definitely vikings. Just hang on a second for the osteology, folks - wanting them to be vikings doesn't automatically mean they are.
- Archaeologists and students from @cam-archaeology.bsky.social and @cambridgearch.bsky.social unearthed possible Viking remains on a training dig at Wandlebury Country Park. 🔗 cam.ac.uk/stories/wandlebury-…

- 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.

- There's a new doc on Disney+ on the frantic year to build the first Disney Land. 1954, when the past looked like science fiction. So much craft and engineering, but the footage also shows a culture just starting to eat itself. Fascinating: part documentation of dying crafts, part Adam Curtis warning

- Here’s a poem called ‘Message to the 14-Year-Old Me’.
- Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up. That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.
- Context is they were forced to remove Toussaint L'Ouverture but they kept his horse.
