Another brilliant @ProfPaulPoast thread.
I read a bit of Du Bois in high school, and again in my late 30s. Between those periods I earned two degrees in International Relations. Neither degree included any of his writing, which speaks to the biases of the field.
W.E.B. Du Bois is a major International Relations theorist, and his writings should be standard reading for international relations students.
If you're reading Morgenthau (or Waltz or etc), you need to also read Du Bois.

On this US trip, I’ve been reminded that parks here have permanent BBQs for public use - and Smokey Bear reminds people that only you can prevent forest fires.

The statue of Mary McLeod Bethune makes me remember when my late uncle Junior always argued that MMB is the most important person in Black History.
While that is a matter of opinion, if we REALLY knew MMB, we'd see how compelling his argument was.
A thread.

Being an ‘auntie’ to a whole gaggle of kids across three countries is one of the best parts of my life.

Hugh Grant tweeted a request at activists protesting outside Westminster to play the Benny Hill theme on their loudspeakers; when they did it became the soundtrack for street interviews with leading Tories trying explain the situation to the British people
