BREAKING: TURKEY OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Turkish FM:

'We stressed that the Israeli crimes in Gaza carry the risk of turning into a regional conflict.

Netanyahu is trying to drag the region into war in order to remain in power.

Those who provide unconditional support to Netanyahu…

Alan Lester Channel 5 Historian Ever the optimist, thinking that someday not so far away not only both of these histories (Atlantic slave trade and EIC) but also their vital intersections will be commonly known/shown on programmes such as this, and better understood.

This looks really, really good! (Particularly looking forward to reading Gareth Knapman's chapter on Raffles in SE Asia...)

The most rapidly organised book I've ever edited is at final proof stage. If you want to read accessible essays from some of the best known expert historians about some of the most controversial aspects of Britain's colonial history, instead of listening only to what political…

🧵 On Those Classic Cultural Twitter Accounts

Someone on here questioned why I would say that accounts like the one below are dog whistles for white supremacy.

Well, ok. Let's do this.

It's fair to say not everyone has access to these wonderful things (though most people have those powerful, pocket-computers now. Also they make phone calls), but I don't think it is fair to say nothing is getting better.

The West's double standards have made a joke out of the so-called international rules-based order. Embassies are supposed to be sovereign territory. How did the West respond when Ecuador violated Mexico's Embassy in Quito or Israel bombed Iran's Damascus Embassy? With silence!

“Having escaped the lion’s den Mr #Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat.” Kind of sums up the whole thing.

The killer has been identified as 40-year-old Joel Cauchi from Queensland.

Everyone who suggested the attacker was a Muslim or a Jew, without any information, and within mere minutes of the news breaking yesterday, need to have a good hard look at themselves. Disgraceful.

Unfortunately

I have a horrible feeling that very soon the lessons all states are going to learn from this world wide crisis is that if you have nuclear weapons, you are protected. If you don’t, you are made to suffer. And that means nuclear weapons will be developed wherever possible.

I'm really upset right now so chances of this sticking aren't great, but I'm seriously contemplating just not assigning essays anymore.

Wonderful fully funded PhD in early modern English history: work with a great team, learn new skills and change how we understand the global past. 1 May deadline: exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…

The UK has returned 32 royal artefacts looted from Ghana's Asante Kingdom in the 19th Century.

The 150-year old artfacts were returned by the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, but on a three-year loan, not on a permanent basis.

Folks complain about 'forever wars' and the 'endless wars of neoliberalism,' but actually the rate of warfare has gone way down - take for instance Our World in Data's chart of state-based (read: war related) deaths:

Dutton is a dangerous psychopath. By equating the Port Arthur Massacre with pro-Palestinian protests, he has sought to encourage other psychopaths that such a massacre of pro-Palestinian protestors might be a good idea - just as the LNP govt incited the Christchurch Massacre.

Why does this advocate of mass murder still get the right for a column in the SMH?

Jake Wallis Simons Literally every military and Middle East expert I know said that Israel could not militarily destroy Hamas, and so did I, but people like you consistently rejected that, and now 6 months later and tens of thousands of civilians dead, you are now reaching the same conclusion.…

G'day folks, I've been made redundant so I am looking for work. Interested in comms, community engagement, organising or related fields. I'm very good at what I do! Also have a mortgage and family so I guess I'd also do labouring, line cook or dishpig stuff. lmao
