Oddbean new post about login | logout Someone referred to this last week as possibly the wildest in presidential history. Ma’am may I get you a history book and some popcorn.
Hellooooo Florida 2000 SCOTUS Coup d’ etat.
Scratching the surface. Political history is a wild ride.
Yes, I was a history major.
Do you have a favorite historical period or factoid?
Not particularly, I just like it for context when something strikes my fancy. Like, we went to Paris, so I got into French history, which is vast, and one book led to another. One time I got interested in Genghis Khan. This summer, I decided I didn’t know enough about Roman history, so I read a book. One could spend a lifetime there. It will probably lead to a book on Greek history. How about you?
