BREAKING:

Both the White House and RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.

It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

@HistorianZhang @ruima The school spread is also odd.

Donald Trump just announced 25% tariffs on anyone importing oil from Venezuela.

@spandrell4 @MadSealCutter Unless the street was under construction or blocked until now.

Was Industrial Revolution possible in 300 AD? Lots missing: Didn't know how to make cheap quality steel. Didn't know how to harness a horse properly for agricultural activities. _Escape from Rome_ argues collapse of Empire was necessary institutional precondition for IR.

@HistorianZhang Musk needs to read about proscription

@Mariusj001 There is no wrong or right on twitter

[Sixiang Wang @wangsixiang]

@Mariusj001 This is more an issue of translation convention than language knowledge; I mean technically these are the equivalents, but they are created through convention. Dungan people call Putin Huangdi. Are they wrong?

[Sixiang Wang @wangsixiang]

@HistorianZhang @pikafrenzy20 Ahahaha i have declared academic bankruptcy like 20 times in my life

[Sixiang Wang @wangsixiang]

@HistorianZhang @pikafrenzy20 Esp for faculty when they write peer reviews

[will the real victim please stand up @fdondi1]

@thinking_panda France in 200 years had two Empires, one monarchy restoration, and are now on the sixth try for a Republic. Giving up after 30 years of tries a century ago guarantees stopping at a suboptimal solution.
