My book on féerie, the French fairy play, at the fin de siècle is out from @BritishAcademy_ @OUPMusic! Pdf is Open Access, but if you're faculty please ask your academic library to order a solar storm–proof paper copy!

Faites connaître le site autour de vous, il est amené à se développer encore! Amateurs d'objets, d'histoire du XIXe, de la révolution française, enseignant.e.s : vous y trouverez votre bonheur :-) @APHG_National VOICI LE LIEN :

Dems scheduled a Bernie speech bashing billionaires, followed by Pritzker bragging about being an inherited billionaire & a former credit card CEO declaring that Democrats’ “understand that government must work in partnership with the business community.” https://t.co/E85MNEZ4CZ

(As in: Labour are somewhat materialist and are actively trying to swap one coalition of voters for another, the Dems are too idealist to realise the constituencies they're pursuing are largely imaginary.)

My humble take is that in order to run on zombie liberalism in 2024 you need to be either cynical or deluded; Labour are very cynical (but also deluded), the Dems are very deluded (but also cynical).

Israeli troops have besieged the last three functional hospitals in north Gaza, a new chapter in a conflict that has targeted hospitals with an intensity and overtness rarely seen in modern warfare. The AP spent months collecting their stories.

I know where this is! 🤣

Exterminate, expel, resettle: Israel’s endgame in northern Gaza Debates over the details of the ‘Generals’ Plan’ distract from the true brutality of Israel’s latest operation, writes @idanlandau. https://t.co/1W44QeZi9O

This is what Israel’s “surrender or starve” policy in northern Gaza means. This is what it looks like. Here, Dr. Ezzedine Shehab, a 28-year-old physician who stayed in the north to care for his patients, calls out to us to look—and act. https://t.co/VeFWSgCYpx

With 5 days left to the election, Elon has decided to tell his 200 million followers that he agrees with a neonazi that there’s nothing wrong with saying “white power” and then says actually Jews are to blame for saying it’s bad

A sleeping berth on the Chinese space station, orbiting Earth. Note the little floating toy reminder of home. I'm envious of the porthole window - my ISS berth didn't have one. Full video: https://t.co/cLdk5qthrr

Get in touch if you'd like to do a PhD with me. I'm interested in shopping precincts, leisure centres, power stations, derelict land, inner cities, new towns, city centre redevelopment, the Potteries, & how the everyday built environment illuminates political culture & change. 👍

NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. https://t.co/UUxYqpTF72

In altre parole: 3 liguri su 4 non hanno votato i loschi figuri uscenti, ma di quei tre, l'opposizione ne ha convinto solo unə.

Come in una spirale impazzita, le notizie si susseguono con una velocità che rende tutto magmatico. L'esercizio che occorre fare, a mio parere, è mettere tutto in ordine. Il quadro, allora, diventa più chiaro. Senza nebbia. Altrettanto colmo di orrore. Cento persone circa, di

Salvo errore, la notizia internazionale del giorno (Israele mette al bando l'UNRWA) è in prima pagina solo su Sole 24 Ore, manifesto, Fatto e Domani.

The governing coalition of war criminals in Israel passed the legislation to outlaw UNRWA today as part of the tsunami of political turmoil repression in Israeli society. Disgracefully, large parts of the so called liberal opposition supported this law and allow the criminal
