To a screening last night of "Dahomey," with director Mati Diop, who made the superb Atlantique, in attendance for a Q&A. Dahomey follows the return of 26 looted treasures from Paris to Benin. A beautiful, haunted film on the politic & poetics of restitution. Highly recommended!

I know it's not going to happen, but I would love to hear Robert Wyatt and Alan Sparhawk sing together.

Earlier this summer I also saw the sole original copy of Danish constitution of 1849 (thus 50 years before the September Agreement). Somehow it is still thrilling to be able to see two such foundational documents.

The so-called "September Compromise," an agreement signed by Danish employers and unions on 5th Sept. 1899 following a summer of strikes and lockouts. The agreement still forms the foundation of the Danish labour market model today. Seen in the Arbejdermuseet, Copenhagen

In late 2016, on the eve of Trump’s inauguration, we welcomed a young Eritrean refugee to our Pennsylvanian home, direct from a camp. Today he got to vote in his first Presidential election, and in PA no less.

How have I not come across @ModAmHist before last night? Full of so much interesting stuff. First up, a very strong recommendation for this essay by Julia Brown-Bernstein on deindustrialization in LA. https://t.co/97KKViqgwT

I don't believe that either pride or shame are the point of studying history. But if one wants to claim pride in some history or another, if you acknowledge the power of history to evoke such an emotion, then you also admit, how ever much you deny it, the possibility of shame.

@STS_News I should add that though I read a lot of fiction I've never really read sci-fi, so I don't know possibly relevant work from that genre. I read Olga Ravn's "The Employees" recently, but though about work it's definitely not in the start-up world.

Question, maybe for @STS_News & others. I have a masters student toying with writing a diss on "how futuristic narratives and visions in science fiction narratives shape narratives in start-up culture." Seems like a great topic to me! Any reading suggestions etc.?
