Y’all, I love an interesting #crossword #clue, but this one befuddles me.
“What’s everyone **soup** in arms about?”
Is this an actual #English language phrase? I’ve heard and used “up in arms” but never “soup in arms”. Is there a #linguist or #historian who might provide some context for this bizarre statement? 🥣

"This past week, I was fortunate to acquire a particularly handsome example of a work that, while not always widely appreciated outside #bibliophilic circles, deserves to be counted among the most ambitious productions of #nineteenthcentury #Hebrew #printing – the #Trieste #Haggadah of 1863.
Students of #Jewish #art will recognize immediately the significance of this edition. Indeed, the noted art #historian #BezalelRoth went so far as to assert that only one nineteenth-century Haggadah could truly be called groundbreaking in both conception and execution: the #TriesteHaggadah.
Issued under the title #LHaggadaillustrata, the volume presents the Hebrew text alongside a refined #Italian #translation by #Rabbi #AvrahamChaiMorpurgo. The translation is not merely serviceable; it reflects a careful engagement with earlier #machzorim and #Haggadot across several #European traditions, resulting in a text that is both accurate and stylistically polished."

"#JennaWeissmanJoselit was looking for a project that wasn’t so “heavily freighted” after her #book on the #American “embrace” of the #TenCommandments came out in 2017. “Out of the blue,” an editor at the #Jewish Lives #biography series, a #Yale #University Press and #LeonDBlack Foundation project, asked her to #write a book about #Rabbi #MordecaiKaplan, founder of #Reconstructionist #Judaism.
“Without missing a beat and without thinking what this entailed, I said, ‘Yes, yes. Of course, of course,’” the Charles E. Smith #professor of #Judaicstudies and of #history at #GeorgeWashingtonUniversity told JNS.
She didn’t question why she was chosen. “I’m not the obvious person. I’m not an intellectual #historian,” #WeissmanJoselit said. “I don’t swim in those high-minded #philosophical, #theological waters.”

"He had wild hair and wore jeans. He was #American and #Jewish. He had a #camera.
That was enough to trigger #surveillance by the notorious #secretpolice of #communist #Romania, the #Securitate.
Now, 41 years after #photojournalist #EdwardSerotta boldly stepped behind the #IronCurtain, we can see just how obsessed the #Romanians were with him, thanks to a short #documentary by renowned #Romanian #director #RaduJude and #historian #AdrianCioflâncă.
“Plan contraplan/Shot Reverse Shot,” which had its world premiere at the #Berlinale international #film festival last month, gives equal time to #Serotta’s reminiscences about Romania in the 1980s, and to the Securitate’s observations of him."

"When is a #dog in a #medieval illustrated #Hebrew #manuscript more than a dog? When it’s a testament to the undying dedication of #Jews to God’s law.
As the #art #historian #MarcMichaelEpstein details in his latest engaging analysis of #Jewish #artistic expression, “People of the Image: Jews and Art,” dogs appear in numerous artistically rendered Jewish texts accompanying passages related to #Moses. After all, #canines’ renowned loyalty was a natural representation of the “loyal transmission of the divine mandate from generation to generation.” And the Book of Numbers tells us that God believed Moses to be “the most loyal in My household.”

"[...] Democritus, who laughs at the world, and Heraclitus, who weeps over it.
The story of the #Jews tends to be told in the Heraclitan mode.
There is a name for this tendency: it is the ‘lachrymose conception of #Jewish #history’. This was the coinage of the #historian #SaloBaron, and intended in a pejorative way: #Baron spent his career criticising an earlier generation of #scholars for painting such a gloomy picture of #Jewishhistory. The #FrenchRevolution, #HeinrichGraetz had said, was a ‘judgement which in one day atoned for the sins of a thousand years’; the #emancipation of the Jews that followed in its wake marked the ‘dawn after their long slavery among the nations of #Europe’. Baron’s 1928 essay, ‘Ghetto and Emancipation’, called for a ‘break with the lachrymose theory of pre-Revolutionary woe, and to adopt a view more in accord with historic truth’. The historic truth, in his view, was that emancipation wasn’t all good, and the ghetto wasn’t all bad."

RiP to Michael John Parenti (September 30, 1933 - January 24, 2026). 🪦
We need more people to challenge the political structure of this nation and world like he did. A paradigm shift starts with one who affects the minds and lives of many for good. He will be missed. 🥲

A quirky guide to myths and lore based in actual science
Folklorist/historian Adrienne Mayor on her new book Mythopedia: A Brief Compendium of Natural History Lore
By Jennifer Ouellette – Dec 29, 2025 7:30 AM |
Earthquakes, volcanic eruption, eclipses, meteor showers, and many other natural phenomena have always been part of life on Earth. In ancient cultures that predated science, such events were often memorialized in myths and legends. There is a growing body of research that strives to connect those ancient stories with the real natural events that inspired them. Folklorist and historian Adrienne Mayor has put together a fascinating short compendium of such insights with Mythopedia: A Brief Compendium of Natural History Lore, from dry quicksand and rains of frogs to burning lakes, paleoburrows, and Scandinavian “endless winters.”
Mayor’s work has long straddled multiple disciplines, but one of her specialities is best described as geomythology, a term coined in 1968 by Indiana University geologist Dorothy Vitaliano, who was interested in classical legends about Atlantis and other civilizations that were lost due to natural disasters. Her interest resulted in Vitaliano’s 1973 book Legends of the Earth: Their Geologic Origins.
Mayor herself became interested in the field when she came across Greek and Roman descriptions of fossils, and that interest expanded over the years to incorporate other examples of “folk science” in cultures around the world. Her books include The Poison King: The Life and Legend of Mithradates, Rome’s Deadliest Enemy (2009), as well as Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, & the Scorpion Bombs (2022), exploring the origins of biological and chemical warfare. Her 2018 book, Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology, explored ancient myths and folklore about creating automation, artificial life, and AI, connecting them to the robots and other ingenious mechanical devices actually designed and built during that era.
When her editor at Princeton University Press approached her about writing a book on geomythology, she opted for an encyclopedia format, which fit perfectly into an existing Princeton series of little encyclopedias about nature. “In this case, I wasn’t going to be working with just Greek and Roman antiquity,” Mayor told Ars. “I had collected very rich files on geomyths around the world. There are even a few modern geomyths in there. You can dip into whatever you’re interested in and skip the rest. Or maybe later you’ll read the ones that didn’t seem like they would be of interest to you but they’re absolutely fascinating.”
Mythopedia is also a true family affair, in that illustrator Michelle Angel is Mayor’s sister. “She does figures and maps for a lot of scholarly books, including mine,” said Mayor. “She’s very talented at making whimsical illustrations that are also very scientifically accurate. She really added information not only to the essays but to the illustrations for Mythopedia.
As she said, Mayor even includes a few modern geomyths in her compendium, as well as imagining in her preface what kind of geomyths might be told thousands of years from today about the origins of climate change for example, or the connection between earthquakes and fracking. “How will people try to explain the perplexing evidence that they’ll find on the planet Earth and maybe on other planets?” she said. “How will those stories be told?”
Ars caught up with Mayor to learn more.
Credit: Princeton University PressArs Technica: Tell us a little about the field of geomythology.
Adrienne Mayor: It’s a relatively new field of study but it took off around 2000. Really, it’s a storytelling that has existed since the first humans started talking to one another and investigating their landscape. I think geomyths are attempts to explain perplexing evidence in nature—on the Earth or in the sky. So geomyth is a bit of a misnomer since it can also cover celestial happenings. But people have been trying to explain bizarre things, or unnatural looking things, or inexplicable things in their landscape and their surroundings since they could first speak.
These kind of stories were probably first told around the first fires that human beings made as soon as they had language. So geomyths are attempts to explain, as I say, but they also contain memories that are preserved in oral traditions. These are cultures that are trying to understand earthshaking events like volcanoes or massive floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, avalanches—things that really change the landscape and have an impact on their culture. Geomyths are often expressed in metaphors and poetic, even supernatural language, and that’s why they’ve been ignored for a long time because people thought they were just storytelling or fiction.

First ride of 2026 in the books. Got the H-D Challenge done as well.
It was not the best day for everyone in our group. As we hit the finish, one of our riders was waiting to make a left turn and was clipped by a car that couldn’t wait the 30 seconds.
Rider is fine, we got his bike lifted and out of the road in under 2 mins. Some minor paint damage to the fairing and front fender. Brand new 2025 CVO Road Glide.
I know it’s winter but we still ride, please look for us and keep us out of your way.

Personal Anecdote Time:
I once wrote to Jan N. Bremmer, a Dutch #historian , because I was interested in #eleusinianmysteries .
I told him I'm a random layperson but thought his talk (a lecture at a German uni at the time) was great but I can't afford his books (still can't).
After 6 months, I received a massive envelope in the mail from Mr Bremmer - it contained an entire book chapter on the mysteries & a note that he hopes this will help!

20 Lessons from the 20th Century About How to Defend #Democracy from #Authoritarianism, According to Yale #Historian #TimothySnyder
in History | January 20th, 2017
"Timothy Snyder, Housum Professor of History at Yale University, is one of the foremost scholars in the U.S. and Europe on the rise and fall of #totalitarianism during the 1930s and 40s. Among his long list of appointments and publications, he has won multiple awards for his recent international bestsellers '#Bloodlands: Europe between #Hitler and #Stalin' and last year’s 'Black Earth: The #Holocaust as History and Warning.' That book in part makes the argument that #Nazism wasn’t only a #German #nationalist movement but had global #colonialist origins—in #Russia, #Africa, and in the #UnitedStates, the nation that pioneered so many methods of human extermination, #racist #dehumanization, and ideologically-justified #LandGrabs.
"The hyper-#capitalism portrayed in the U.S.—even during the Depression—Snyder writes, fueled Hitler’s imagination, such that he promised Germans 'a life comparable to that of the American people,' whose 'racially pure and uncorrupted' German population he described as 'world class.' Snyder describes Hitler’s ideology as a myth of racialist struggle in which 'there are really no values in the world except for the stark reality that we are born in order to take things from other people.' Or as we often hear these days, that acting in accordance with this principle is the 'smart' thing to do. Like many far right figures before and after, Hitler aimed to restore a state of nature that for him was a perpetual state of race war for imperial dominance."

#SmedleyButler: #War is a racket
https://annas-archive.org/search?q=Smedley+Butler+War+is+a+racket
ready for a small #ww2 #nazi #Germany #history lesson?
1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces
2. this #bs #historian https://youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)
no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people
in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process
also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )
check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion”
Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

My son has been into govt, history, military, and old things generally. So at first he expressed an interest in another WW2 army uniform (khaki) this year. But after a bit he sent me a link to a George Washington costume! Interests aligned! Apparently it’s the coat that caught his eye. I’m curious if he’ll wear the wig and hat. 😁
