@tzimmer_history Good luck!

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

Very sad to hear of the death of John Charmley (aged 69). Born in Birkenhead, he was a larger than life character and a brilliant historian. His books on Chamberlain and Churchill were thought-provoking and superbly written. He will be greatly missed.

It’s crazy for Andrew Lawrence to have all his gigs cancelled because of an offensive joke, I think he should have his gigs cancelled because he fuckin sucks

If the self victimization of the heterodox and bro podcast sphere was an energy source we would have unlimited power.

[Chris Kavanagh @C_Kavanagh]

It’s absolutely pathetic how much of a meltdown any sniff of genuine disagreement causes amongst the ‘heterodox’ podcast world.

[James Bloodworth @J_Bloodworth]

The passive voice is telling. I had an absent father - I blame him for that; society didn't 'create' his desire to bail on my mum. But society did make it easier for women to leave abusive men. Male violence is one of the leading causes of absent dads.

Kyle Clifford has just been found guilty of raping his ex girlfriend before brutally murdering her and her sister with a crossbow, and stabbing her mother to death. Less than 24 hours before his attack he had been listening to an Andrew Tate podcast.

OUT TODAY: are there any better words than “this is a well-written, informative account that identifies a niche in the existing historiography”? Fans of British and Irish history and their various university libraries can now judge for themselves!

instead of saying "hello" to your colleagues, perhaps try this instead

You do start to appreciate why the Catholic Church’s stance for most of history was “you idiots are NOT allowed to form your own opinions”
