'Such confident, sweeping, racist generalizations appeared often, impugning not just Africans and Indigenous Americans, but also Jewish people, Catholics, Irish immigrants, Germans, & Mexican Americans. Systems of racial thought evolved over time, changing who could be included in the White elite'

After the February 5, 1783, #earthquake that hit the Italian provinces of Reggio Calabria & Sicily, a 30 km long fault rupture was observed along the Aspromonte mountain. This is likely the first drawing of a fault (escarpment) ever published.

Earlier this week at @cwts we launched the #OpenEdition of our #LeidenRanking https://open.leidenranking.com/.

The Open Edition is the first fully transparent university ranking. All data is openly available. The source code of the software used to process the data and to calculate the indicators is openly available as well.

"In a crowded market, the supply of #contentcreators hoping to profit from their work directly outstrips demand. The number of YouTube channels, podcasts, Substack newsletters, and other independently produced media has exploded…
It is statistically unlikely that any random podcast or YouTube channel will blow up in popularity to the point of replacing the creator's working salary through direct payments."

Portugal's second Golden Age is coming:

"Now cork is experiencing a revival as more industries look for sustainable alternatives to plastic and other materials derived from fossil fuels."

Gift ideas:

"To Wilhelm, Hainhofer offered a vast array of goods, from Jodocus Hondius’s beautifully illustrated and expanded edition of Mercator’s Atlas—a guide to where treasured rarities came from—to “Indian” feathers, skirts, rings, and bowls from the East Indies and “a stuffed rat from Lithuania that warded off insects from damaging clothes.”"

Long-term vaccination effects.

It is strange to see the messages about not knowing the long-term effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. We do, and yes, of course, there are long-term consequences.

1/10

While the 1,000 true fans concept offers the illusion of a lower hurdle, the conversion math paints a different picture.

Data from Patreon and Substack suggests the average conversion rate from follower to paying fan is about 5%. This means a creator would need a total fanbase of 20,000 followers to yield 1,000 paying supporters.

And that's...a little harder.

"The 43 Group was an English anti-fascist group set up by Jewish ex-servicemen in the immediate wake of World War II when, on their return to London, they encountered British fascist organisations such as Jeffrey Hamm's "British League of Ex-Servicemen" and later Oswald Mosley's reformed fascist party, the Union Movement. In 1945 at the end of the War, there were 11 Fascist Societies and 4 Fascist Book Clubs in the UK"
