It was really great- would highly recommend to anyone wanting an introduction to Arendt - now I have tracked down the Günter Gaus interview on YouTube for tonight's watching.

@lyndseystonebri.bsky.social @samantharhill.bsky.social Thank you for your parts in this fantastic film about Hannah Arendt - but with many uncomfortable harbingers of the present day www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

Discover Hannah Arendt, who transformed her time as a political prisoner during World War II into daring insights about totalitarianism.

Restoring the British Library’s manuscript catalogue to the level of detail it had achieved before they were hacked would do far, far more for historical research than any AI chatbot

Lieber Herr @lukasbormann.bsky.social, ich habe nicht mitbekommen dass sie hier gewechselt sind. Freue mich über die Kontakt. Vielleicht interessiert Sie meinen Recherchen über Paul Ricoeur und wie er (neben Bonhoeffer (natürlich)) eine wichtige Rolle bei der Jugend in Fano hatte.

Das Buch muss ich unbedingt kaufen. Ich war mitt ihm in ein (online) Seminar wo er seinen Recherchen vorstellt. Leider es war die Pandemiezeit und ich hatte nicht die Gelegenheit mit ihm weiter zu unterhalten über die Beziehung Ludwig Raiser/Ernst Rudolf Huber in Vor- und Nachkriegszeit

Absolutely great show. Thanks. Reminded me of how disastrous it was for both Germany and France to look for military heros from WW1 as presidents.

Trieste has everything - culture, sea air, food (can suggest a great fish restaurant on a pier), Hapsburg, Italian, Slovene influences, old city, plus history - Churchill's Iron Curtain fallung from Stettin to Trieste, real borderland

Trainable - Frecciarossa from Paris to Milan (though not on interrail but avoids sncf) or maybe easier Geneva to Venice and change.

Trieste is just great - and only a half hour train ride from Gorizia/Nova Gorica - the once Cold War divided city/ies that is this year's European twin capital of culture

Did you know that data collection and information organisation as we know it today started with printed books and renaissance libraries? Before that? Vacuum. Disregard for medieval past in modern narratives of critical data science is going to come back to bite everyone.

A fragment of an infographic from an art project Calculating Empires by Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler from the column on data collection, starting with “Printed Book”. The graphic is black and white and the book is accompanied by an ideograph of a book.
