Did McSweeney draft this?

There are many good reasons why your department should hire a medievalist. Teaching the actual history of the Crusades and debunking "feudalism" so you don't wind up with trends like this is one of them.

Today's @thetimes.com is reporting that this new book published by Springer, on sale for £180 hb, contains 'footnotes that cite scientific publications that appear to have been invented....' Who'd have thought it!

From 1917-2008, Sweden’s state monopoly on alcohol sales also encompassed state ownership of its primary vodka manufacturer

🔍A surprising story of Neolithic social life.
