Reading @alanallport.bsky.social's excellent Advance Brittania The passages on Britain's narco-colonialism in Malaysia and Singapore are a solid counterblast to the nonsensical view of the Vritish as genteel, peaceable hobbits minding their own business

Bought two boxes and opened one this morning. Check out these very cool parallels. Don’t worry @efarb.bsky.social that Mac will be heading your way.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

A good conversation between @sarahebond.bsky.social and @profgabriele.com Give it a listen

I’ve said it thousands of times and I’ll continue to say it. There are a lot of people who think Mexicans (actually all Hispanics) only exist for labor.

New 🥜 alert! A Colt Emerson Alebrijes card! I’m going to miss my Nuts

Hi @scottthewriter.bsky.social I just discovered your Beyond Barbarossa podcast today and I’m looking forward to listening to the entire series. It’s such a huge topic and I appreciate you doing it!

Remember, if you or someone you know has/is written/writing a book on the Second World War (broad definition) hit me up. There is a good chance I would like to talk with them. I can't promise riches and glory, but I can generally say that thousands of people are waiting to hear about the book.

This is pretty damn funny…unless you’re a Jays fan youtube.com/watch?v=O8WR...

Respect to the serviceman who got knocked down during the flag rollout and froze motionless for the entire National Anthem. 🫡

Looking for these cards to complete the 2025 Update Series set. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

On this day in 1942, the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal was fought. A Japanese squadron of one battleship, two heavy cruisers and eleven destroyers were sent to bombard Henderson Field, the crucial airstrip held by the US on the island. 🧵 #NavalHistory

Sometimes I think about the question someone put on the bad site, asking women how old they were the first time an adult man came on to them or made a sexually suggestive remark to them. I want to say the vast majority of us were between 11 and 13. I've been thinking about it a lot today.
