Stay fit and slim with a bucket load of speed.

Remember, corporate America (mostly) are the people who sold you cocaine, opium, morphine and heroin until they weren't allowed to anymore. Who sold you speed and downers over the counter until they couldn't anymore. Who sold you OxyContin until so many people had died that there was a public outcry and even then they tried to carry on. Who sold you Johnsons baby powder and destroyed you and your babies. Who sold you Nestle Infant Formula because you were poor and didn't count. Who now sell you processed food that is better off in the trash and would last a 1000 years in landfill. Who sell you guns to kill children. Who sell you AI to steal your job and rot your mind.

my media history class made iron gall ink yesterday, from a 1483 recipe in the UK National Archives that may have originated in (and certainly bears the stamp of) the Tower of London. #mediahistory #mediaecologies #trees #labour

I have two blenders. One is for soups and smoothies. The other is for shredding linen and cotton for paper stuff and crushing iron galls for ink. Last night I crushed iron galls and this morning I made a smoothie, using the correct blender for each. #adulting #mediahistory #bookarts

My colleague Axel Volmar hosts a lecture series about the methods of #MediaHistory this semester at Humboldt University' #MediaStudies department. I am invited for a talk about the praxis of #ComputerArchaeology and will bring a #Tektronix 4052 computer to the media theater to show the strangeness of this wonderful hybrid apparatus.

Europe in Mass Media - Mass Media in Europe

Eugen Pfister: „Imagining Europe. The Construction of an European Identity in Newsreels across Europe in the 1950s” in Zeitgeschichte 4/2011, 215-231.

Totally exhausted after 8 working days in the archive in London, researching a female war correspondent of the First World War. I found an incredible amount of material and look forward to writing the history of this fascinating woman. But my eyes hurt from reading the microfilms

Last Friday my seminar on the American press and the Holocaust 1933-1945 came to a close. It was a group of 16 very engaged students. They all agreed that doing their own research in digitised newspaper archives was the best part of the class. Mission accomplished
