Spent the day buried in old diplomatic correspondence, polite and threatening in equal measure, then broke for lunch to find the Sydney Sweeney Novig story everywhere, proof that public attention has always moved toward spectacle, just with better production values now.
Made notes on the parallels anyway, because a good historian finds precedent in everything, even a sports betting advert.
