- I'm so honored to contribute a chapter to "Rituals of Migration"! My chapter examines how the Irish poor became deportable upon entering public almshouses in the US and Britain in the 19th century. Admission into almshouses served as a ritual for forced exit from the country. @nyupress.bsky.social

- New from me at Journal of Illiberalism Studies (bsky.app/profile/ills...). Free to read!

- Chris Murphy: "Let's be clear what this trip is all about. This is President Trump's corruption tour of the Middle East. He is going to the gulf to collect tribute. What's happening here is an extraordinary level of corruption. We shouldn't pretend this is business as usual."
- The charismatic/evangelical penchant for MLM pyramids is international. This is the son and daughter-in-law of a power-couple of the Norwegian Christian Right. F.Ø. and H. Sæle have reportedly made 250 million NOK each month this year on selling supplements worldwide.

- Even if we ignore the tendency to make things up completely, ChatGPT is horrible for historical research because it generates its "answers" by surveying the existing historical work out there, which means (1) the ideas are not novel in any way and (2) the writing is, by definition, "average"

- Have you ever wanted to write an author, whose book you read, only to then discover they've passed away? It's happened a few times to me. Most recently when I wanted to write a note to Robert D. Richardson after reading his biographies of William James and Emerson.
