@ljmuhistory.bsky.socialWe're not entirely sure what to think about our own @malcolmcraig.bsky.social faking historical documents. Call the History Police?
@danieljfeather.bsky.socialReposted by @ljmuhistory.bsky.socialThe fact that Thomas George Thomas served as the Minister of State for Commonwealth Affairs at the exact same time George Morgan Thomson was the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs is scrambling my brains while editing a chapter

@malcolmcraig.bsky.socialReposted by @ljmuhistory.bsky.social1) So You're A Game Designer Who Needs Advice From a Historian? Games with historical/historically inspired settings/themes are great. Occasionally an email pops into my university inbox from someone seeking advice, feedback, consultancy, and so on. As the advice-seeker, what's the best approach?
@gillianobrien.bsky.socialReposted by @ljmuhistory.bsky.socialExciting post (for me at least) as I got my mitts on my new book - The Shortest History of Dublin. This ed is out in Australia at the end of Sept. The Irish/UK/North America ed is out in Spring 2027. #history #dublin #ireland #australia #newbook #publishing
@jamescrossland.bsky.socialReposted by @ljmuhistory.bsky.social📢 This week's HISTORY'S DEVILS is on Tim McVeigh, the author of the Oklahoma City bombing which, until 9/11, was the worst terrorist attack on US soil.
As @cajohnson-craig.bsky.social explains, it was also a turning point for America's far right

@andrekeil.bsky.socialReposted by @ljmuhistory.bsky.socialVery sad news indeed. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Konrad Jarausch a few years ago in Cambridge. He was an inspiring person, a public intellectual, and, most importantly, one of the most influential historians of modern Germany in the 20th and 21st centuries.
@malcolmcraig.bsky.socialReposted by @ljmuhistory.bsky.socialAnd here's me, spraffing on about The Price of Freedom with @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social!
