Megan is right. History is sorting facts. Every historical period has a list of innate truths that exist independent of human deduction. Each fact is an absolute, unchanging, abstract essence. I have so much free time now that my computer can sort the facts for me.

"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.

I haven't heard people talking about this, but AI is an absolute game changer for doing historical research. History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts— a massive logistical/memory problem made so delightfully easy with agentic research. 1/

I did an OCR conversion of all my PDFs to make text files, built a semantic search index, and can just let my agents roam free to answer questions, fact-check, dig up interesting stories, quotes, etc. It takes a lot of the hard work out, as well as a lot of the human error. 2/2

I remember the first time I heard the name 'Rod Liddle'. I was at the Leeds Playhouse and it was said about forty times over ten minutes by Stewart Lee in a routine about how he looks like he's covered in crumbs and gravy and other food debris. I went home and googled him and thought, 'ha, yeah.'

Yeah I was waiting with baited breath for the return of the classic 2000's "lol everyone has it except only little boys have it from their gameboys except it's not even real enjoy your AMPHETAMINES druggie" takes me right back

Someone really needs to print a calendar or day planner that commemorates every time Mosley got his shit rocked

#OtD 29 Jul 1962 fascist Oswald Mosley tried to march with the Union Movement in Manchester, UK. However, he was attacked by anti-fascists and had to be rescued by police. A Mosley speech later was drowned out by a crowd of anti-fascists. More info: www.patreon.com/posts/e37b-6...
