I’m making direct eye contact with scientists and historians right now
I know popsci and pophistory are SO FRUSTRATING sometimes, but we all know they access different audiences, audiences we need to reach.
Take the genre, use it as a tool rather than an enemy

We don’t have to - and must not - place scholarly writing and popular writing in opposition. Doing so is a losing move. Writing exists in many overlapping genres and we get to work in and out of the ones that fit.

pophistory: Old Kingdom Egyptians built pyramids with slave labour.
what Old Kingdom actually did: mass-kidnapped Nubians to operate their cattle ranches, along with Nubian cattle.

you're unmitigatedly correct tho, area bombing civilian centers for the purposes of depopulation & dehousing is def a war crime. I just, have spent a lot of time unravelling pophistory that turned out to be laundered Nazi propaganda, and Nazis use Dresden to obfuscate the criminality of their regime

I maintain that if they wanted to do this kind of biased storytelling as they did in Fire & Blood he should have made the framing device a modern day Westerosi Malcolm Gladwell trying to pophistory through the events poorly.

Co-written by the Go-Go's and Fun Boy Three. Both brought out their own versions. This one upbeat, the other not so much. Both excellent. #pophistory #music #80's
The Go-Go’s “Our Lips Are Sealed” peaks at #20 today in 1981.
“That song is really unique in its structure and .. melodically, it’s such a fun song,” said Belinda Carlisle. “And of course, when you get the reaction of the audience to the song when you do it live, it makes it even better.”

On January 4, 1987, “Open Your Heart” spent its final week at its UK chart peak of #4. Originally written as “Follow Your Heart” and intended for Cyndi Lauper, #Madonna reworked the demo, transforming it into the sultry and emotional anthem we know today and one of her most memorable hits.
