PARBLEU?!! What the pappa fume un pipe is this absurdité avec my baquette?!

A farmer completely destroys the ruins of the castle of Torre Mocha in Salamanca. News like this makes me think bad thoughts. #handsoffhistory ileon.eldiario.es/region-leone...

(L to R) Frances Green, Margaret (Peg) Kirchner, Ann Waldner and Blanche Osborn leaving their plane, "Pistol Packin' Mama," at Lockbourne AAF in Ohio. All were WASP pilots who had been trained on B-17 "Flying Fortresses." c. 1944. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gr...

Anyone here got Coulrophobia? (Bozo the Clown, AKA Frank Avruch, circa 1965)

The Greek classics were quite something weren't they.

Now that's some cool looking archaeology, very Dutch. Here they're digging in a dyke, showing us how long the cloggies have been fighting the water. www.facebook.com/redactieschy...

If Guy Fawkes had succeeded at the House of Lords, the nearby House of Commons and Westminster Hall would all have been destroyed, many other buildings would have been severely damaged and a lot of innocent civilians would have died. The explosion could have looked like this;

There's a suspicious amount of photos of me pretending to own cars that aren't mine, like this one:

With two impossible sports related photos, I did pretty well with guessing ☺️ Last photo is amazing. I got a score of 3506 on today's Chronophoto: 04/11/2025 Round 1: 640 Round 2: 924 Round 3: 640 Round 4: 849 Round 5: 453 www.chronophoto.app/daily.html

Dutch resistance member Selma van de Perre died last month. May she rest in peace. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/w... nos.nl/artikel/2587... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selma_v...

"Bluey (1910 – 1939) was a female Australian Cattle Dog owned by Les and Rosalie Hall of Rochester, Victoria. She holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest verified dog to have ever lived." "the whole town was deeply affected by her death" 😭 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Yesterday I shared a sad meme about Ulysses returning after many years and only being recognised by his dog Argus. Just to make you cry even more (crying is healthy), here's the scene depicted by Briton Rivière in 1873. Just looking at it turns me into a wreck.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Patriotic English wartime dress.

It's so pretty, so dainty. Something you place an artefact on, something precious, something special, like a crown, a medieval ivory box, a Roman statuette or something more traditional, like the skull of your enemy. www.slam.org/collection/o...

Never underestimate the immense self control time travellers have. I mean they visit us and manage to not tell everyone all the time how much better they're dressed than any of us lot.

Cool photo! Marie in traditional Zeeland clothing on the motorcycle, c. 1938. No, I'm not a time traveller.

This is completely true.

Rolls Royce Phantom II. I'm in love.

Me (many years ago): Yay I found some good old fashioned vintage net curtains for my flat! My cats: Yay indeed!

Evidence of at least one man in 1968 knowing what you should buy a woman to make her happy :)

Just a reminder that some may scoff at our ancestors for not washing/bathing as much as we do but not that long ago many households didn't even have a bathroom and people had to improvise, like this Dutch lady here showering by the sink in her kitchen in the late 1960s.

Still one of the best Halloween costumes I've ever seen. I kind of want one.
