Wagner Moura's character Joel in 'Civil War' is the world's worst journalist - he goes through hell and sacrifices several friends and colleagues to get an interview with the US president and when he finally gets a pithy quote he doesn't record it...🤦‍♂️

Jason Herbert, Ph.D. Kristalyn Marie Shefveland University Press of Florida Now available for pre-order is Kim A. Wagner’s much-anticipated Massacre in the Clouds: An American Atrocity & the Erasure of History from Hachette Book Group:

If 'never again' is the true purpose of studying the Holocaust and historical atrocities, educators and historians (myself included) have failed miserably. We have spent so much time focusing on the violence of others that we ignored our own. Or maybe that was the point all along

Two things on this: the creation of an antisemitism bureaucracy has worked out *so* well in Germany, and haven’t they just fired all the university DEI staff?

It's funny how 'woke' (in its original sense) and 'red-pilled' essentially means the same thing...

Columbus Police exactly one year ago when dealing with armed neo nazis vs today when dealing with college protesters.

Just watched 'Civil War' and as a non-American I didn't find the setting or apolitical premise terribly interesting. It was a compelling movie about the making of a war photographer. But what was this final photo doing??? No war photographer would ever take a trophy image...

The protesters at #ColumbiaUniversity govern themselves according to a principled set of community guidelines—they are far from the violent mob that the GOP and others make them out to be. This is the list of rules posted at the encampment.

🌸🌷It’s publication day!! 🌷🌸 Available for purchase in all good bookshops, online or in-person. Can’t wait for the launch tonight 🥂toppingbooks.co.uk/books/agnes-ar…

Looking forward to talking about - what I always talk about...😏

Your daily reminder that it is a key feature of colonial warfare to blame one's own violence on the alleged 'savagery' of the enemy - which essentially boils down to 'they made us do it'.

Solidarity with students and colleagues in the US - anyone with even a modicum of historical awareness knows what the stakes are...

Film-adaptation of 'Blood Meridian' to be directed by John Hillcoat - I would have preferred Herzog or Eggers, but at least it's not Rupert Sanders...

It would appear that a screening of Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966-classic 'Battle of Algiers' was organised to provide Ivy League leadership with ideas of how to deal with student protests...

Went to bed with helicopters flying over the #ColumbiaUniversity campus, woke up to the same.

If people calling for a stop to the killing of women and children makes you feel uncomfortable, or even threatened, maybe the problem is you.

Bring back J. C. Carothers...

My students have expressed concern about the large police presence around the campus--not the camp of protestors on the lawn.

'Good people on both sides...' 🤦‍♂️

In a time where it is painfully evident whose life is valued and whose is not.
