Most ppl know me for work in science & policy, but in college, my other major was classical #history & literature.
I view the present moment through this lens, understanding that the world map has always been dynamic. Borders shift, empires rise and fall, societies transform.
Only by studying the humanities - the disciplines so many ppl in power now regularly dismiss - can we hope to learn from the past & chart a more hopeful future.

Yes, they are acting like Nazis, but those comparisons cover up AND reveal a deeper history of sins that is not only particularly American, it’s what Hitler and his murderous henchmen adopted from us.
History Is Often Unkind To Comparisons

W Social wants to compete with Twitter
A new social network should make Europe more independent. In the leading role: Anna Zeiter from Zurich.
"(...) Now Zurich resident Anna Zeiter (46) is taking a career step – with potentially geopolitical consequences: Zeiter is to build a European response on X, formerly Twitter. Another step in the effort to take Europe at least a little bit out of technological dependence on the USA. (...)
Zeiter describes the new network as a «better version of Twitter»: «Positive, respectful communication should be promoted.» Users must therefore identify themselves as human beings. In this way, fake accounts are prevented and bots that serve as multipliers of fake news or propaganda are excluded. W Social also wants the filter bubble problem address: If desired, a certain number of posts for each user should come specifically from a different opinion bubble. All data is hosted decentrally in Europe by European companies. And of course, W Social is subject to strict EU data protection laws. The beta version is scheduled to go live by February at the latest, and W plans to open up to the general public at the end of the year."

Yeah, let's just have just another centralised #socialNetwork. As if nobody ever learns from #history!

People generally don't realise that a #museum is a major storage and archive that offers to find and show the public and scholars any given object in its care, with provenance, century after century.
70 years ago, Evert Baudou looked at 90 stone axes in the Swedish #History Museum. This week I got to handle *every single one* again. A few of them have been in that collection for 200 years by now. ❤️
