Also, there is no clearer sign that you don’t know what historians do than this kind of attempted dunk.
I’ve had it trotted out by people who think we aren’t allowed to have or express political opinions, must debate all challengers publicly, and, as here, must seriously evaluate conspiracies
These are the times I am so glad to be a historian of the Italian Renaissance. I hadn't realized how much bullshit I would avoid when I chose to go in that direction.
TV has taught me that: If you closed Hudson University (Law & Order), dispersed Cabot Cove, Maine (Murder She Wrote), and eliminated the Navy (NCIS), there would be no murders in the United States.
Few years ago, I arranged a meeting/tour of Princeton. He was good at football, graduating, and my husband and I arranged his trip up from AL to there. They showed him all the campus, were willing to waive a few academic issues, and he shut down. He had anxiety, which we didn't know at the time. 1/2
Princeton were at the time trying to develop a football team (?) and their locker room was pretty impressive--it had just been renovated. My poor brother didn't know how to handle himself, and the guide kept throwing out anecdotes about the campus that made his anxiety worse. But it IS there.
Heh. Tried to edit my first comment and totally cut out the 'my younger brother' set-up. Anyway, the highlight of the tour was "Here is the exterior of the hospital from 'House'".
I only muted people at the start of my time here so that was a quick call for me too, I guess.
I love that he’s apparently been posting to me all this time all the same. No more
Oh he absolutely HARASSED me in my mentions when I dared express that I thought Biden had done a lot of progressive things, despite many failings and shortcomings
Oh yes, blocked that one myself. One of many accounts floating around injecting anti-Biden rhetoric into many conversations. These accounts are here solely to spread confusion and discord and mistrust. Block on sight, block often, block early, walk away with no remorse.
And blocked by 1800. Although tbh it’s the people who have already caught more blocks than they have posts who impress me most. Just straight dipshittery right off the line.
I mean, a lot of his posts were just responding to people with opinions that were not dirtbag leftist enough with various versions of f-off an stfu, so he was really going for it.
It's almost admirable if it didn't suck so much.
If he was on Bluesky from the beginning (unlikely) that would mean he posts 43 times a day. That screams BOT! to me.
Or, unemployed guy living in his parents' basement.
More likely the second given the examples where he actively harasses people because of their opinions.
Could be angry retired guy also, just living online being mad at everything and everyone.
Friendly heads up all! 👀
Elvish Presley mysteriously deleted their old stongel.bsky.social account and suddenly reappeared as elvishp.bsky.social. 🤔
Why? I dunno. 🤷♂️
Heads up! 👀
The fine fella who dubs themselves as “Elvish Presley” has mysteriously deleted their old stongel.bsky.social account and suddenly reappeared as elvishp.bsky.social.
They claim they deleted the account on their own. Why? Why suddenly harass someone who blocked them months ago? 🤔
I am surprised how many 15 year old brand new “Middle East war experts” now “activists” I’ve had to mute on this site - here I thought “Blue sky” meant, calm, serene, etc. Eh-not so much.
Feels like lat 2001 what w/ all the insta-experts popping up to tell us how to solve all the problems somewhere they did a 2 week unit on in the 5th grade.
