@robert_lyman @spectator Thanks for sharing this. On this side of the pond, Post Oct 7th, I sometimes feel besieged, especially after listening to some of my academic colleagues excuse/justify Antisemitic words and actions.

Jewish holidays from now on:

1️⃣ They tried to kill us
2️⃣ We got the son of a bitch
3️⃣ Now let’s dress up as bananas and dance in the street

@robert_lyman D'ooh! Sorry, should have thought of that. Hope this is a clean copy.

Mazal Tov @robert_lyman on such a positive review in the latest Journal of Military History of your book on the Korean War.

[Fred Krome @FredKrome]

@robert_lyman I first read his work as a grad student and his The Great Sea and The Boundless Sea are on my study shelves. It was only a few years ago I came across his advocacy for academic freedom. A sad day for history.

Finally remembered to post this link to the interview of our book, A Tale of Two Front: A German Soldier's Journey Through World War I.

@robert_lyman Happy to have signed as well. Did not see a lot of signers from this side of the pond as it has not gotten a great deal of coverage.

@TimothyDSnyder Wasn't it Marshall Zhukov who said abut Stalin: "Relying on his own wisdom, he had outwitted himself."

@faniaoz Mazal Tov! The best part of being a grandparent is they just like you. No backstop, just affection.

The mark of a great book is that it helps you reconceptualize a subject that you've read a lot about. A truly great book is one you can swipe material from as you re-write lectures for class. @prior_robin

[UC Clermont College @ucclermont]

You've never had a history class like this! 📜 Professor Fred Krome teaches history through science fiction, fantasy stories, and traditional texts. Who said history can't be fun? https://t.co/h063vWlKlI

@CharlesEsdaile I'm so embarrassed and ashamed I have trouble getting my thoughts into coherent form

[Fred Krome @FredKrome]

Cincinnati Area Friends: I'll be speaking at Bockfest on Sunday, March 9th at Moerlein.

[Fred Krome @FredKrome]

Damn, another good title taken.

[Fred Krome @FredKrome]

@CharlesEsdaile @realpublicius Either Dunning-Kruger effect or a rich person who thinks that makes him an expert on everything? The two not necessarily contradictory I guess.

[Fred Krome @FredKrome]

@CharlesEsdaile No, and he's just getting started.

Politicians who use the word "freedom" in campaigns are almost certainly going to try and restrict women's freedom if they get elected.
Legislation that has the words "free speech" in it are almost certainly designed to limit such a thing: see Ohio's newly passed Ed Bill for ex
