Another brilliant design, well executed, from Robin Rendle. My own tastes tend to the straightforward, not to say boring. But I love the whimsy of this one.
I absolutely adore the design of V. H. Belvadi's scholarly website. It's not a design I'd adopt for myself, but it's a wonderful idea, flawlessly executed.
This essay asks why RSS readers look like email clients, and argues that the borrowed interface creates a phantom sense of obligation.
The AHA/Roy Rosenzweig Prize went to Envisioning Seneca Village this year. RRCHNM's founder also wrote about Seneca Village, and Alexandra Miller dug into the Rosenzweig papers to trace the connections.

Can’t wait to revisit all the chapters from amazing colleagues. Thanks Lauren, David and Jessica for being wonderful editors during difficult times.
Have enjoyed the last 3 days at #DH2024 hosted by @rrchnm.bsky.social & seeing so many friends, often for the 1st time in person since COVID. Also chaired an interesting hybrid session on mapping/visualization. Sorry I haven’t been able to see everyone & that I won’t be able to make the last day.

In episode 2 we start in the early nineteenth century. The place of Jews as citizens is formally ambiguous: some state constitutions have test oaths that might bar them from office. We tell the story of Jacob Henry in the Maryland legislature.

The second half of episode 1 takes us back in time to Newport, RI, where George Washington is visiting. The Jews of Newport petition for their rights, and Washington affirms them. We will see Jews claiming the full rights of citizens many times in the show.

Episode 1 starts in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, scene of a mass shooting of Jews in 2018. We start by talking to @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social about the murderer's belief in an anti-immigrant conspiracy theory and its connection to antisemitism.
