@Chiuchiyin to the Taiping, but there's no footnotes to this claim.

[Jeremy Salkeld @EMicrostate]

@Chiuchiyin Very little research in English linking the two as far as I know. Madeline Hsu's Dreaming of Gold, Dreaming of Home, pp. 26–7 has a brief discussion of ex-Taiping in Kuala Lumpur in the 1860s. Lee Khoon Choy claims that Cheng Keng Quee renamed Larut to Taiping in tribute

@PROMlNENCES The North can pry Aardman out of Bristol's cold, dead hands...

Absolutely not

The BBC has this infuriating habit:

It overinvests in things that other media orgs do very well (e.g. drama) but underinvests in the stuff it can do uniquely well (e.g. regional and global news).

Scrapping HARDtalk is the latest example.

I'm doing an all-day AMA on r/askhistorians (@askhistorians). I'll answer some of the questions while on my livestream later too

So pop in, say something nice, and ask a good question!

Don't miss what promises to be a fantastic talk today by Dr José Lingna Nafafé on his fascinating new book about the 17th century black Atlantic abolitionist movement. 5pm in All Souls college's Old Library!

@BadSocialism I'm sufficiently primed for disappointment that I'm absolutely certain he'll be Sybok.

[Jeremy Salkeld @EMicrostate]

@Darren_Mooney The problem is that apparently he will be playing a 'known character' https://t.co/zSnIvg2zGu which means we will necessarily be disappointed by discovering that he will, in fact, be playing Sybok.

Rhys Darby will be guest starring in Season 3 of #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds as a known (but not yet revealed) Trek character.

[William Kedjanyi @KeejayOV3]

Dreadful news this. Click and Hardtalk were two of the best current affairs programmes going. The wrecking job done on the BBC is an all timer, should get a Netflix doc in itself

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

Strong contender.

For people that don't understand the frustration and anger about this image.

Just picture Andrew Wakefield receiving a peerage for publishing his discredited paper claiming vaccines cause autism. This is just as offensive.

@HistorianZhang Clearly there needs to be a more transparent and regularised form of university placement selling.

I get that it’s a bot account posting stolen content every hour of every day- but these sort of strange videos with bot replies does make me sad for the future of the internet

[Jeremy Salkeld @EMicrostate]

@BadSocialism Does it make you want to go back to the cluUuUub?

[Dr Claire Hubbard-Hall | The Spy Historian @thespyhistorian]

Yes, that’s me on @itvnews My debut book #HerSecretService (out 24 October) telling the story of the ‘real’ Miss Moneypenny, Kathleen Pettigrew & many other incredible women of British Intelligence made national news!!!! It’s taken me a week to pluck up the courage to watch it 🙈

@mrchan @egasmb What’s interesting about the UN Charter is that as late as 1945, 金山 was still used as the name for San Francisco in official documents by the ROC government (國民政府)

Even a Chinese newspaper first published in 1924 in San Francisco was named 金山時報
