In modern Germany, the far-right including prominent members of PEGIDA and the AfD refer to Umvolkung - the process of one people replacing another. This originates in the Nazi term for the "racial purification" of the East through expulsions and genocide.
One example in the use of similar terminology of invasion and racial "replacement" by German populists and far-right handelsblatt.com/politik/deutsc…
Internal documentation from within the AfD warns members to avoid terminology like "Umvolkung" to avoid having the party banned as openly racist and anti-democratic welt.de/politik/deutsc…

850 Euros a month (Germany, public system) - employer pays in half. No deductible, but often some small co-pays. Also covers pharma, major dental and can cover psych.
It takes forever to see certain specialists like dermatologists, but I'm also getting dental surgery that would have cost 10-15k in Canada for about 200 euros.
One of the strangest parts of the German health insurance system is that the main group who gets private insurance are civil servants.

This hits on one of the central problems in terms of academic engagement with the tech world. We aren't trying to produce a clear "actionable" agenda. A lot of our work is trying to get people to consider the complexity of cause and effect rather than strict progressive linearity
When people complain that no academics are working on a field, they often are actually saying that no one is providing a set narrative that provides us with a clear set of "lessons" from history that demonstrate the path forward.
Ironically, the main group of academics who used to follow this style of interpretation of history were the Marxists, but contrary to popular opinion, not many left in the academy.

#OTD in 1921, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis announced a lifetime ban of the Black Sox, who were acquitted of criminal conspiracy charges by a Chicago jury in baseball’s “trial of the century” the day before. Here’s what we’ve learned since: sabr.org/eight-myths-out #BlackSox100
Thanks to @ChicagoMuseum, we now have access to thousands of pages of trial transcripts and testimony about the Black Sox trial that Eliot Asinof never got to see for “Eight Men Out.” ... For example, the “stolen” confessions. jacobpomrenke.com/black-sox/the-… #BlackSox100
The “stolen” confessions are one of the enduring myths of the Black Sox Scandal. As Bill Lamb has shown, this incident had no effect on the jury’s decision to acquit the players. (And no, Arnold Rothstein didn’t arrange the theft, either!) jacobpomrenke.com/black-sox/the-… #BlackSox100

#OTD 3 Commando Brigade leave Portsmouth for the #Falklands aboard SS Canberra.
A section of BBC News from 9th April 1982: the Soviet Union describe the UK’s task force as "an immediate threat to international peace"

Fascinating to watch, the rest can be found here:
A CIA brief from 9th April states "the Argentines are reportedly lengthening the air strip in Port Stanley to accommodate A-4, MIRAGE, PUCARA, and C-130 aircraft and reinforcing the island with additional troops and air defence equipment"

#OTD in 1982, Argentina began Operation Rosario and invaded the Falkland Islands.

The infamous telex conversation between Falklands and London
FK: We have lots of new friends
LON: What about invasion rumours
FK: Those are the friends I was meaning

The Falklands War had begun
Over the next few months I’ll (attempt to....) recount the 1982 conflict as best as I can.

Expect pictures, notable newspaper headlines, and famous quotes. Any particular areas of interest/feedback will be appreciated
One of the best quotes from 2nd April 1982 - a Royal Marine to one of the Argentine soldiers: “Don't make yourself too comfy here mate, we'll be back"
