If Diogenes were alive today, he’d probably be subtweeting Plato about his subpar interpretation of Socrates, and virtue signaling about his choice to live in poverty with stray dogs.

History Memes That Use the Past as a Punchline
We’re probably not alone in feeling like history class is, well, ancient history at this point. While we enjoyed tales of social justice and exploration (and balked at tragic plagues and bloody wars), our brains haven’t really held on to many of the details.
