Knowing too many of my generation, in most cases the extent of the self-examination will be a wistful shrug, maybe a sting of shame or self-pity, then it's back to counting the cash. And that will upset people but it's true and it's partly why we are here now. /end

It's not helpful to keep ranting about this, but still: it was being reported fully 14 years ago that Putin had stolen enough money to make him the richest person in Europe, but too many people in London turned the other way because he was making them rich too, and here we are.

tbh the whole culture of “NOT ENOUGH PPL ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS WE NEED TO RAISE AWARENESS” has really made misinformation so much worse bc ppl feel compelled to write + share posts asap before they’re shamed. obvi a lot of other factors but just something to think about

I studied history at university and took a number of modules on nazi history. When I asked my lecturer what happened to Black Germans, he responded that there “wasn’t really any.” And this is how erasure happens seamlessly in the classroom.
I believed some of these lies - even though they were inconsequential to the fact that what happened was wrong, I still always thought that Jean vaulted the barriers.

More fun publisher surveillance:
Elsevier embeds a hash in the PDF metadata that is *unique for each time a PDF is downloaded*, this is a diff between metadata from two of the same paper. Combined with access timestamps, they can uniquely identify the source of any shared PDFs.
ALT [A list of metadata for a PDF, the important field being two "Unknown:<long random character string>" fields that are color coded to indicate that they have been changed between versions.

Last night in the @UKHouseofLords I spoke in support of transgender people’s rights.
I also spoke to protect women & girls.
I voted for a statutory inquiry into the issues surrounding Sarah Everard.
No one who spoke against trans rights voted to protect women & girls. No one.

"Patel isn’t the first politician to overstate her experiences of adversity. She’s been an ardent nationalist since the mid 1990s, and politicised patriotism runs in the family: her father contested council seat for Ukip in 2013".
Worth a read, in @LRB.

It is interesting how the conditions in which Djokovic is being detained are attracting criticism now when I'm pretty sure the Australian government has been using them for a while...

Had to hit up the #RayHarryhausenExhibition as soon as I arrived in #Edinburgh. Fascinating to see the work of the special effects guru up close - so many of his films shaped my childhood! #RayHarryhausen #TitanOfCinema #Harryhausen100 @NatGalleriesSco
