Bless @internetarchive for saving the interesting website of the late #AnnSwinfen, to which she was adding until her sudden death in August 2018. Here's her introduction to #medieval#records & to the business of the #bookseller, supplying both affordable #textbooks to students & fine illustrated #manuscripts to wealthy patrons:
Revisionism doesn’t begin to cover it. Stalin, in contrast to the standard depiction in Russian textbooks over the past 30 years, is presented as a wise and effective leader thanks to whom the Soviet Union won the war and ordinary people began to live much better. The reader is left with the feeling that Stalin’s victims were guilty and suffered a well-deserved punishment.
The Russian leader has wanted a new history curriculum for over a decade and now he has it — one written partly by himself and his unabashed apparatchiks.
Mikhail Myagkov, the scientific director of the Russian Military Historical Society, said Monday that Russia’s new history textbook will provide an “objective” view of Joseph Stalin’s role in Russian history. He contrasted the book’s approach to that of past Russian history textbooks, including “the ones financed by...

So it's kinda funny to me that their knocking on doors at our university, trying to figure out who can help them setup the Let's Encrypt CNAME records for the subdomain they wanna setup under our university's domain.
Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

For a moment, imagine future #court#historians
Digging into this #corrupt web of “bought & paid for Justices”.
I know I won’t live to read the future “#history#textbooks describing their infamy.
I’ll put my faith in the law, justice & the 4th Estate…as demonstrated by #propublica.
Propublica should be commended for the hard work & example of the undeniable…
Need for the 4th Estate.
