My wife doesn't want to go to therapy... or she sabotages my attempt. I had a counselor setup but she complained that she was too far away (25 minute drive) and that she would find a local one..... and then proceeds to do nothing. I think she fears what she will be told... cause... well... most of the problem is her (if I do say so myself... haha).

To some extent I am just blowing off steam. I realize I have to avoid getting resentful so I make my own spaces and times for things. My wife has severe depression from time to time and probably also has ADD (based on my daughter's diagnoses and our understanding of her issues). So.... to a large extent my hand is dealt.

My wife has tried counseling several times and she always hates it.... so... that is probably not in her future.

Talking of people we are talking about - I checked out Mykeru's twitter feed the other day.
He had a 5 day suspension from work, continues to not make videos, and seems determined to stay on his path to unsociable codgerdom.

And so it goes, I suppose. But I do appreciate his past efforts.
He seems to have taken a hard fall after his breakup with the Latina lass. Or perhaps I'm misremembering.

I remember reading about a traffic accident in India, where a bus ran into a moped. The report stated that something like 73 people on the bus were injured and 57 killed, while all seven on the moped died.

“FitzSimons’ style is that of a graphic novel without the pictures,” wrote Prof Stanley, adding: “(It’s) cartoon history by the kilogram.”

“I wasn’t reading so much a formal history book as a book that had been written in a series of vignettes,”

“The fact that he writes about a group of men in a lorry, he goes, ‘they bumped down the cobblestones of France, bumpity bumpity bump’, to me that’s just ridiculously simplistic.

“Fitz” (I reckon he almost demands to be called that these days) found that he would sell a lot more books if he adopted a style that made readers feel as if they were right in the action; “like the Red Baron’s co-pilot” is how he phrases it

Large sections of the book are marred by AUTHORIAL PESTERING (including egregious font changes and capitalisations) and heavy-handed pointers about how the reader should respond to what he or she is being told by the author. Time and again I was just starting to get absorbed in FitzSimons’s writing when, out of a trench or from behind a metaphorical bush, Fitz would leap like Jack Nicholson in The Shining. “Gawd help us all,” “Tricky buggers!” “Hurrah! Hurrah!” “Outrageous” and “Yes, mate, you’ve done your duty” peppered the pages.

Much of the rest of the book, however, is marred by ... [o]verwritten paragraphs, often splutteringly so, excessive quotation of sources rather than letting them speak in a way that supports an argument (or paraphrasing them to the same end), Fitz leaping in with a nudge or a wink about what it all means – all when a more careful (and confident?) author might have presented a judicious, possibly slightly qualified conclusion on the basis of evidence.
Gawd, that sort of shit makes me puke.


On the bright side, I just found Gustav Lehmann's Die Mobilmachung von 1870/71 on archive.org and it is an absolute treat!

Captain Marvel is a total blast and Brie Larson rocks

Marvel’s new superhero movie had the weight of expectations and a nasty troll campaign against it. But it’s come out swinging.

...

And we are still at the point where the visuals of such a powerful female hero are rare enough that its sheer existence makes you giddy.

...

Captain Marvel can be heavy-handed in its approach, but then you have to think about who will benefit the most from this movie — young kids, especially young girls.

I don't think that he claims to be an historian (does he?). Rather, like someone who writes popular science, he writes popular history.

Not everyone one the Allies fought was a Nazi though.

He claims to be a hi’storian

I kid you not. Whatever the fuck that is.

However.

He happily accepts reviews that use the “history” word.
He was selected for the ANZAC Centenary Advisory Board.
He sucks the media oxygen from public historical discussions.

His range of fact-tion is debilitating in a Herman Wouk “Winds of War” way. He is also very sensitive about people pointing out he has no qualifications to be taken seriously. Rather he is a failed footballer with a basic BA in Govt who turned journalist and now uses a whole tribe of research elves to produce production-line beer and pretzels crap which dominates the terrain. Somehow this justifies an AO, while his donations justified him getting a seat on the University of Sydney’s Senate. For reasons.

Oh. And .....

Less vitriolic version.

I think there is a general popular acceptance that FitzSimons writes accessible “history” even if he doesn’t claim the title “historian” - which would then expose him to professional scrutiny. He certainly leverages his popular acclaim to assume the role of a highly visible everyman’s “authoritative voice” His genre provides all the benefit$ without the effort or skill that useful analysis would provide. And a model which drives high turnover empty calories.

Or as Stevenson put it “history by the kilo”.

Do you link the recent (by which I mean in the last, say 30 years...if that can be considered recent) young Australians (and NZ's too) attitude to keeping WWI relevant by visiting Ga'lipoli, getting pissed (ie drunk) and treating the whole thing as a party, to the quality of education on the subject?

On a somewhat related subject - I heard a recent interview with David McCallum - where he stated that he though the film 'Titantic' turned the whole thing into a love story - and did not do justice to those involved. He mentioned survivors attending the screening of the film he was in 'A Night to Remember' - and that they used to attend a pub in Kings Cross. Which creates a stronger connection to living history.

I am that snob.

History can be made accessible to the hoi polloi without turning it into barely-disguised potboiler fiction. I do not want to read about the song the Doughboys of the 17th regiment were singing before the charge at Belleau Wood, what Alexander Hamilton had for breakfast before his duel, or the wind whipping through the tent, the smell of the horses, the clatter of spatha as Julius Caesar broke camp to cross the Rubicon, because you, dear "storian", haven't the slightest fucking clue about any of that.

I get that, while the likes of oddballs like Brive & I wish to dig deep into the purest of scholarly historical research, the majority of history readers prefer some light but slightly stimulating reading while smoking a pipe, sitting on a plane, or taking a dump. There's still no excuse for larding the latter fare with ahistorical trash or just stuff the author has pulled out of their ass. After a certain point, there's almost no hamburger rather nearly all Hamburger Helper™. It's a free market, and a matter of taste, and anyone who wants is free to buy and read this sort of shit. But the rest of us don't have to pretend it's actual history and not just plain old shit.

On that note (or approximation thereof) I remember George MacDonald Fraser regretting that no one had ever recorded Victor McLaglen singing any of the various 'Barrack Room Ballads'.

Poor education is too simple a premise.

There has been a concerted govt and AWM effort to retool Anzac into civic virtue glue to help clump the nation together. This initiative can be dated to the 1990 75 anniversary expedition where for the first time our PM (Bob Hawke) attended the Dawn Service in Turkey. There was a highly publicised passing of the torch conducted between surviving veterans and youth. My grandfather was gutted to be ruled out on health grounds at the last minute. He was 93 and managed to keep going till nearly Christmas. So fuck em.

The Gallipoli (and Anzac) narrative has only been useful and relevant because it was used to explain and contextualise social factors. Ie it’s a national history. This began as a racial model, evolved into national exceptionalism and has landed as a scaffold for civics. Military detail is clutter.

Consequently, the reality of what “really” happened has always been secondary, as seen in the 1927 ruckus over the “vilest libel of the War”. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10. ... ode=rahs20

Kids go to Gallipoli like IDF soldiers climb Masada. It is a bonding to National historical tropes. The same ones Fitz propagates to make a buck and secure acclaim.

It was one of Donald Trump's signature campaign promises.

Back in June 2016, he stood before a large crowd in Monessen, Pennsylvania and said that as President, he would reduce America's ballooning trade deficit.

He called it "a political and politician-made disaster" and said "it can be corrected".

Only it hasn't exactly turned out that way.

Ya ya ya.

‘I am not Titania McGrath. Go f**k yourself’
I am not the only suspect in this curious affair. Twitter users have speculated that the account is run by Chris Morris, Ricky Gervais, or even the American conservative Ann Coulter. There are now rumours that Rosamund Urwin is the real Titania McGrath, and that her article in The Sunday Times was an ingenious exercise in misdirection.

The quotes are a delight. Virgin are about as popular as Hemorrhoids over here. Funnily enough my daughter dumped Virgin Media only yesterday.

I'm not sure this is a winning marketing strategy.

RIP Stan.

The early Comics code would never have allowed Zombies, let alone one of Stan Lee to promote a product.
RIP Stan.

From which we can only conclude that Stan is a 'Zuvembie'.

...or that it was his brother that died.

...or that he is a clone.

...or that the government has arranged for someone to impersonate him.

...or that he is a doppelgänger from an alternate universe.

...or that he fell into the North Atlantic Ocean and has been frozen in a block of ice.

...or....

Tommy Robinson to be taken back to court to face the original contempt of court charges from last year.

In the last two weeks.
Embarrasses the BBC. Banned from facebook. Labour deputy leader attempts to get his YouTube shut down. Served with defamation papers by far left and Jihadi lawyer. Usual racist, thug, far right slurs raised in the House of Commons. Claims he's working on an expose of left wing Soros funded anti-hate groups. .. Coincidence?

PZ version:
I’d have stuck with the liberal arts school. They provide more personal instruction and a broader background to students. And that’s why I switched from teaching at a large state institution to a smaller university myself in my career as an instructor.
PZ Daughter version from her AMA:
he went to Morris because that was where he could get a job
