- Reposted by Nick MunnOne of the first things a Farage government will do will be to make sure "the young are taught correctly about our history," and if that doesn't set off all manner of alarm bells then it should. (MAIL)
- Reposted by Nick MunnEd Muir told all of his graduate students that our job was to tell him and his generation why they were wrong. A field in which younger scholars aren't doing that is no longer a field. It's just a museum of itself.
- Reposted by Nick MunnLetter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in. A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.
- This has been out a while now, but very happy to have written a short blog post for @lampallib.bsky.social as part of my recent placement. I delve into the interesting workings of Henry Wharton and what his choice of medieval transcription may tell us about his own lifetime... monumentoffame.org

- Reposted by Nick MunnThe UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

- Reposted by Nick MunnJust don't share A.I. slop of any sort. I've seen a wave of Sora shit on various social media platforms. A.I. is destructive on too many levels to ever encourage anyone to use it, and sharing or liking is encouragement. Complicity in the destruction of our planet and humanity.

- Reposted by Nick MunnWhat's effectively happening here (in the British media at large, too) is the construction of "anti-racism" as somehow a "political alternative" to racism, rather than as a minimal civilisational standard, which in turn (further) vindicates racism as *also* an acceptable political position.
- I'm a bit concerned about the use of the word "clash" here, @theguardian.com. Not only does this imply 'two-sideism' (my favourite bit is designation of anti-racist protesters as "hardcore" - turns out the only thing they were 'hardcore' about is techno) but also a physical conflict. Was there one?
