The emotional whiplash between Joe's withdrawal on Saturday, to realizing we're going to elect the 1st woman of color as our next President is probably closest you'll ever get to knowing what it feels like to make the jump to hyper-space. 🤯

Putin's appeasers promise that Russia will stop as soon as Ukraine surrenders cities like Kherson and Zaporizhzia and disarms itself. One may wonder why Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs would introduce a new license plate area code – 188 RUS – for the entire Kharkiv region.

I also think the reason ‘academically trained’ historians are so constantly undervalued is because history intersects with everything in the entire world - there are histories of science, of math, of politics and engineering and emotion and thought and food and culture.

It was #otd in 1943 that the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church was hit by the RAF in WW2. Here's a video I shot about this back in April. There's a chance that the chap whose grave I visited today, killed in that same air raid, dropped the bomb that hit it.

@WhitlamsBerlin Likely both. As 2-meter tall human, I cannot be trusted to view this objectively.
