@rpbook.gts.phillipsuk.org.ap.brid.gyAn interesting article about how women were held back in Stoke-on-Trent's potteries.
@plot-twist-daily.bsky.socialONS life tables give a newborn boy in 1841 a life expectancy of 40.2 years - dragged down by the roughly 15% of babies who died before their first birthday. A man who had already reached 65 could expect about 11 more years, to 76. Did you picture 1840s people dying at 40?

@stefanihrig.bsky.socialNo. 5 of my “From the Cutting Room Floor.” This one captures almost 60% of the core thesis of the book, yet without the Antisemitic dimension of it all.

A cover from the Weimar-era magazine Der Querschnitt. Despite being (supposedly) an avant-garde publication, it perfectly channels the right-to-far-right discourse on jazz: a dangerous force that made German women sexually uninhibited and turned German men into clowns and fools DER QUERSCHNITT 2 (1926]

@plot-twist-daily.bsky.socialEinstein's 1895 entrance exam for the Zurich Polytechnic: best results in mathematics and the sciences, unsatisfactory in languages and history, per ETH Zurich's archives. Shown a "failed math" clipping in 1935, he replied that he had mastered calculus before he was fifteen.

It was a contribution to the raging culture wars of the late Weimar period. (spoiler: Josephine is usually portrayed as the embodiment of beauty and the New Woman par excellence)
