The anti-Roma bigotry and politics in Europe that remains common and accepted is truly shocking. When you realize things like forced sterilization and pogroms still occur even now it makes you realize how little has been done since 1945 to stop it. It must be fought.
Dr James Peate@jamesepeate.bsky.social · 4d agoToday is Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. Around 500,000 Roma & Sinti people were killed by the Nazis in the Porajmos.

So a whole lot of my talented Humanities colleagues are now unemployed as of today. A lot of understandable concern over Exeter. But for over two decades my Hums colleagues were in the top quartile for their research contribution to society. History top 10. Now gone with only a national whisper.
Europa erschrickt über das kurzfristige Eindringen von 60.000 Flüchtlingen auf EU-Boden mehr als über die verbreiteten Waldbrände, die zehntausenden Hitzetoten und die angebrochene Klimakatastrophe. Der extremen Rechten ist es gelungen, Europas Kopf und Herz schwer zu beschädgen.
Funny how a proper layout makes reading easier. Caught some blatant errors that were there since the earliest drafts. Anyways, time to finish the index and hopefully submit the whole thing before the deadline.

Brendan Keogh@brkeogh.bsky.social · last wk.Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??
Pausing today to reflect on the life and legacy of Terry Fox, on what would have been his 68th birthday. May Terry's sacrifice continue to inspire us to do good in his honour, in whatever capacity we have.

I came across some detective fiction novels by a well known historian (written under a pseudonym), which is fine, but the book was blurbed by other historians only, including one of their dept colleagues, which I thought was funny. I just had to share that with the world.

Die Evakuierung von Zehntausenden in Südeuropa würde Menschen mit Hirn ja verdeutlichen, wie schnell man selbst schuldlos zur Migration gezwungen werden kann.
Thinking about the fact that Toronto has two 70MM IMAX projectors - at Ontario Science Centre and at Ontario Place, the world's first IMAX theatre - that have been closed by Doug Ford for nonsensical reasons.
