This is what basically all of STS and hist of tech (whatever the - necessary - critiques) is about.

if you ask me this is what technology is for. the sooner we stop letting the most antisocial people among us decide the course of scientific and technological progress and the purpose of existing tech, the better

A Houston hospital is the first in the U.S. to use a device that lets parents hold their premature babies skin-to-skin while they remain in an incubator. The technology is helping families bond during an especially difficult time. bit.ly/4z2W4lz

There's definitely more that could be done to expand nat hist & evolution in NZ museums. Sadly, management in some institutions hasn't valued nat hist for decades. A new nat hist museum wouldn't be that expensive to set up & would generate significant tourism income to invest back into nat hist.

In terms of speculative history specifically, the Venn diagram between "alt-hist authors who openly sympathize with Nazis and Confederates" and "alt-hist authors who write counterfactuals where Nazis and Confederates initially win only to eventually lose" has a noticeable (but not complete) overlap.

Ties into the "meatheads vs murder-poets" discussion that started with Mishima a few days ago...

The weird murder-poets are usually the true believers (i.e. Himmler) while the meathead militarists (i.e. Goering) are usually cynical strivers or sociopaths with no goals beyond having their violence endorsed by the state.

americans are used to thinking of fascists as meatheads and militarists and obviously x has plenty of those but fascism -- especially fascism before it establishes total regime-power -- has a long distinguished history of weird murder-poets too.

Back in Saint Paul after a restorative trip to SD Hist Con. This trip was a little different with more conversations than demoing and a ton of design work done on the con floor. We made progress on current (and upcoming) projects and saw lots of neat new games. The historical space is so vibrant!

You’d think the Republicans, of all organizations, would know it’s possible for a new party to rise up to replace one (Whigs) that rapidly becomes irrelevant. bsky.app/profile/hist...

Ripon, Wisconsin: Two markers and a museum highlight the founding spot of the Republican Party. I couldn’t get inside to see how they explain the party’s journey from anti-slavery coalition to, you know, but history shows us anti-slavery didn’t necessarily translate into anti-white supremacy.
Ripon, Wisconsin, Schoolhouse where the Republican Party was founded Markers for Republican Party founding, Ripon, Wisconsin Birthplace of Republican Party marker, erected in Ripon by the state of Wisconsin in 1964 Ripon, Wisconsin, marker of undetermined date placed by Delano (Minnesota) Granite Works to mark the founding of the Republican Park. Delano Granite Works was once one of the largest marker, gravestone and mausoleum makers in the country, but shut down in the 1970s. Apartments on the Delano Granite Works site opened in 2024.

Yee Leng Xiong, the first Hmong-American to win statewide office, is from Wausau but this memorial in Sheboygan gives a good idea of why the Hmong came to America and the upper Midwest in particular: for the US to resettle those who fought a proxy war we didn’t acknowledge bsky.app/profile/hist...
historicalmarker.bsky.social Historical Marker Ahead @historicalmarker.bsky.social · Jul 21
Sheboygan, WI, with its large Hmong community, is among the few US places with a Secret War memorial. From 1961-73 the US conducted its heaviest bombing campaign ever, to support Laos anti-Communists. The US didn’t acknowledge the war until 1997. Many thousands of Hmong fled after the Communists won
Detail of the Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, dedicated on July 15, 2006. Wide view of the Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Details of three anti-Communist Laos leaders on the Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It reads: Maj. Chia Vang Vang, Maj. Wangyee Vang, Capt. Nao Yia Meng Wang Vang In the mist-shrouded mountains and hidden valleys of Laos, the Hmong people, led by General Vang Pao, stood as guardians of freedom against the forces of communism. This was the Secret War, a hidden chapter of the Vietnam era, where bravery knew no borders and sacrifice echoed unheard across the world. To our father and uncle- thank you for your love of family, freedom, and country. Your sacrifice and heroic deeds will live on forever in our hearts. In honor of Tasseng Nka Pao Vang, Lieutenant Colonel Chia Vang Vang, Captain Cherzong Vang, Colonel Wangyee Vang, Lieutenant Colonel Nao Ya Meng Wang Vang, Lieutenant Bee Wang Vang, First Lieutenant Chao Yang and Captain Ying Vang Her. Panel Sponsors - Txawj Wang Rwg Vaj, Nplias Yaj Vaj and Koob Hmoov Vaj Panels and mosaics on the Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial give details of Hmong military members who fled Laos after the Communists won its 14-year Civil War in 1975. The one on the right is for Major Wang Cha Richard Kue, who in 1976 was one of the first Hmong refugees to settle in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Sheboygan has 5,500 Hmong among its population of 49,000. Wisconsin overall has an estimated 71,000 Hmong residents, behind only California and Minnesota.
