'Without reliable data, governance can no longer be judged by results, and all that is left is how a leader makes people feel. This is governance by vibes, where legitimacy comes not from outcomes but from the projection of strength. prospect.org/2026/10/05/a...

#HistSTM & #HistSci friends: Did you enjoy Sponsel & Sutton's @jhistbiol.bsky.social article on Photograph 49? If so, I highly recommend @byjessicadavies.bsky.social's essay on the subject, which features additional pages from Franklin's notebooks & Wilkins's correspondence! #WomenInSTEM #DNA 🗃️📜🧬

Propaganda is not reality, agreements w Ukraine torn up like JCPOA. Putin is now your friend GOP. Helping kill US in Iran. Under Reagan USSR wasn't a friend. We cheered the wall falling! Clinton/Ukraine disarm broken. Ukraine continued to lessen corruption for democracy. WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY!

The reason Donald Trump can fiddle with DC's public spaces is that they're controlled by the National Park Service. That wasn't never inevitable, and the story of how they ended up under a big brown campaign hat says a lot about Progressive-era paternalism. 🗃️

It's Monday! Let's start week off with a map & some eels! Here is John Speed's 1611 map, "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland." There are Dutch eel ships on this map. Can you find them? (the answer is at the end of the thread) Wait, you ask...WTF is an eel ship? 1/5 🗃️🧪

#OTD in 1944, Thomas Akio Hoshino is fined and sentenced to three years and three months in federal prison for failing to report to induction into the Army. Hoshino and 33 other Nisei men from Minidoka were convicted for draft evasion. 🗃 #skystorians #OTD

110 years ago, on the 29th of September 1916, oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller became the first American billionaire. This happened five years after the Supreme Court had ruled that Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company company had illegally monopolized the oil industry. #otd #history 🗃️

You (we all) should care for eels because one of the most fascinating animals on Earth will disappear simply because a luxury market, dressed-up in tradition, does not care about extinction and society is unable to stop the rich destructive whims Please, do care theconversation.com/eels-have-fa...

Thanks @crikey.com.au for publishing this great, but sobering, piece by Jason Chatfield.

It wasn’t enough that a targeted campaign was used to defame and damage me by deliberately mischaracterising one cartoon. Now those same obsessive bullies are using other people’s posts about that cartoon to destroy their careers. Are we living under the Stasi now?

The best piece of news, after a relentless and brutal attempt to destroy a decent person and make an example of her, to scare others to silence. No thanks to the mainstream, which said and did nothing to defend the principle of press freedom and her right to report fact and express an opinion.

Rochester, NY, has a monument at the place where Susan B. Anthony cast a vote in the 1872 presidential election. Although she’d talked a registrar into adding her to the voter list, she was convicted of voting illegally and fined $100. 🗃️

It's 1100. You're a peasant in Harmston, England. Congrats! It's a fine place to live. But at what cost? Eels. That's what. Each spring, the village owes Earl Hugh 75,000 eels in rent. So every fall your life becomes all about the eels.* Welcome to Harmston. Here's your net. 🗃️🧪

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

WARNING. HORRENDOUS BEHAVIOUR. x.com/academic_la/...

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

939 years ago, on the 9th of September 1087, William the Conqueror died. Both his sons had already left his side to go claim their inheritances. Nobles and prelates left as they feared anarchy and servants emptied the room of valuables, allegedly leaving William naked on the floor. #otd #history 🗃️
