Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LoTR, Marvel, Disney Animated, or Pixar.

Every summer this video pops up for me, as a firefighter it is a great reminder for all my fellow rural Australians to keep an eye on weather, conditions and alerts. youtu.be/8T_pBZenLi8?...

7th Dec 1941 Pearl Harbour attacked

A sketch by David Bomberg, for his official commission from 1918-19 depicting one of the Canadian Tunnelling Companies, being sold next week. There's confusion over whether he was depicting workings at St Eloi or Hill 60, & what access he had to the unit. One day I'll research it (sale link in alt).

You know what would pair nicely with @spitfirefilly.bsky.social's awesome substack? A sparkling @holocaustpod.bsky.social episode on Nuremberg and Göring! thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/epis...

I take one tablet daily, the only reminder that I'm living with HIV. It keeps my viral load undetectable, meaning that I can't pass HIV on. I can expect a normal lifespan. One of the greatest challenges is stigma, due to a lack of knowledge. HIV has changed. #WorldAIDSDay

6 months (and 1 day) of loving you! Thanks for being our happy little man!

Archaeologists or historians in Berlin, is this dig in the Innenstadt Park? I was way too nervous about how high up I was to get my bearings. But snapped this dig – close to the Berliner Dom on the opposite bank of the Spree.

When I get into Melbourne every couple of months I always get into a nice bookshop and have a browse! My wife goes one way, I go another and we meet in the middle with our new partners after losing sight of each other for a few years...

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

The irony is rich.

Whoever decided to abbreviate Frankston to FKN is nothing but a living god... simple amusements in life!

With how this test is going I am worried about my Day 3 tickets for the Boxing Day test at the G....

Delighted my tour of the Great Escape and Colditz is running in April '26. Do come! We go to Berlin, Silesia, Görlitz, Dresden, Sachsenhausen, and we stay in some great places, visit some amazing sights, learn a lot, walk a lot, eat a lot, and drink a lot. telegraph.tripsmiths.com/tours/guy-wa...

@ww2girl1944.bsky.social FYI

A long but lovely day today as I scattered my Dad and Brothers ashes at the spot we scattered my mums ashes 24 years ago. Weather wasn't great but it didnt change a thing. Love it down at Wilson's Promontory.

6th November 1942. First flight of the Heinkel 219 night fighter. Though heavily armed, and overall a very capable aircraft with many advanced features, the ‘Uhu’ was also underpowered for its (considerable) weight and suffered from persistent technical issues. 📷 Revell-Germany 🧵1/6

New episode! How did Nazi perpetrators attempt to evade prosecution (and their own guilt?) In this episode, I talked with Andrew Wisely about SS doctor Franz Lucas' attempts to manipulate history and the justice system. Check it out! thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/epis...

I do think this sort of open, gutter racism becoming normal enough that they feel comfortable saying it on TV is probably the most damning indictment of the last 5 years.

Pip was in good spirits today. Weight bearing on her leg so vet said we could take her out for some grass but had to go straight back in because she was being so strong and feisty! Big day for news will be Monday.

Maybe repeating but here’s the entire video that manbaby was upset about

Well, what do we have here, Anger Yam? This is awkward…:

I'm delighted to say that I have been awarded the State Library of NSW's David Scott Mitchell Memorial Fellowship for 2026! My project is titled "Close the Bases: A History of the Australian Anti-Bases Campaign Coalition". Looking forward to getting stuck into the archives next year.

Phewww... that deep dive into the pit of intolerance whilst blocking the US departments is now avoided with this list! I just can't even understand how a government department can be like this! I like my politics to be that cousin I see every few months... nice but forgettable.

@waitmanwbeorn.com so... you'll be doing the school run?

9-yr-old Ukrainian Sasha Paskal has won gold&bronze medals at the All-Ukrainian Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition "Black Sea Cup" In the summer of 2022she was seriously injured by a Russian strike and underwent a leg amputation Sasha didn’t give up.She went through rehabilitation 📹bokareva.solovey.m

This isn't where I left you... lucky they didn't eat the fruit off the trees!

Happy Publication day to me! 🥳 Jungle Commandos is out now! @ospreypublishing.bsky.social

Just a life update for parents playing at home... I am laying on the floor of my son's nursery after the 5th attempt to get him to stay asleep and finding amazing memes to laugh at quietly...

Special. Very likely the *last* surviving veteran of the Battle of Arnhem, Geoff Roberts (100) from 7 Kings Own Scottish Borderers on his way to lay a wreath this morning at Oosterbeek War Cemetery.

A very special thank you is in order for the @axe99.bsky.social, the absolute superstar that he is, for giving me a bunch of tips and suggestions for #PacificHistoryGuide. Thanks again Dave! There's a small note at the bottom of the main Australia page : ) www.pacifichistoryguide.com/australia

Bravo @garrykasparov.bsky.social “I Saw How Russia Killed Media Freedom” Censorship is central to the story of Russia’s descent into KGB dictatorship. What the #TrumpRegime is doing & #GOPTraitors are allowing is straight out of both the Nazi & Putin playbooks www.thenextmove.org/p/i-saw-how-...

A newly discovered dugout in the depths of Gully Ravine. There will be a future write-up on 2025’s battlefield study in the Gallipolian journal and @gallipoliassoc.bsky.social website soon. Join the Gallipoli Association now if you want to find out more.

Stood in the rain to give this boy a feed in the backyard, the young one above just couldn't bring themselves to come down.

The new and improved 2nd Edition of The Holocaust in Eastern Europe is out now, hot off the presses!!! If you're teaching about the Holocaust or just interested in the topic, please check it out!

My wife's Oma was born in Utrecht in 1931, to see the face of a girl murdered in 1943 that was younger than her and born in the same city it makes it feel a lot closer...

"one of the most absurd" The entire regime is a theatre of the absurd 🎭

I am beginning the journey of "processing" my best bud Colin's passing yesterday. It was on the cards - cancer of the oesophagus is one of the shittiest ones, but we were hopeful, especially after he had a brief upturn 3 weeks ago. I'll miss you mate, the beers, the gigs, the war talk and the craic

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

Interesting training session tonight with my Fire Brigade about a new Battery Energy Storage System in our response area. The sum up is don't fight it. Just protect from it. Took some old hands a while to grasp that as it goes against the goal of a firefighter...

We are BACK folks, after the British black hole of August holidays. In this week's episode, I talk with Erin McGlothlin about how Holocaust perpetrators are depicted in both fiction and non-fiction. Check it out! thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/epis...
