@napwarspod.bsky.social listening to Podcast on Cape St Vincent by @zwhitehistory.bsky.social and @kejamieson.bsky.social and its really good 👍 Side note any future plans for episodes on Camperdown or Basque Roads 🙂

@jessealexander.bsky.social @thehistoryguy.bsky.social Reading this, and I realise that history teaches us that it never ends well for Austrians with delusions of Imperial granduer. Also, the parallels of Napoleon 3rd involvement in Mexico with his Uncles involvement in Spain is hard not to miss

In order to converse with @geraint.bsky.social I have been forced to purchase William James’ Naval Occurrences of the War of 1812! 🤣 📚 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 #histbookchat

@andnapoleon.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social Currently reading the Last Emperor of Mexico and my God History repeats itself. You've got a Bonaparte after a string of successes incredibly arrogant thinking he can turn an internal civil dispute in a Spanish Speaking Country which has

@jessealexander.bsky.social @profgsheffield.bsky.social Reading Garnet Wolseley opinion on Robert E Lee. Realistically how good Commander was he. The argument is that he did the best that could be done with the resources he had but is that fair. He still lost ! How does he compare to say Moltkefor

@artemisapphire.bsky.social @storanorrland.bsky.social Just curious but did you ever watch the 2017 Twin Peaks season ?

@martypaul10.bsky.social @williamdouro.bsky.social @bubblesvampire.bsky.social @jessealexander.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social Can't decide which to read next 🤔

@williamdouro.bsky.social @andnapoleon.bsky.social @bubblesvampire.bsky.social There were 3 Generals Napoleon felt he should've elevated to Marshal status 1 was Clausel the other Gérard but I can't remember the 3rd who was he ?

@bubblesvampire.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social @johnhaines.bsky.social @markurban.bsky.social @jessealexander.bsky.social @thehistoryguy.bsky.social Laughs in Prussian and also the fact that US Civil War veterans invaded Canada and were defeated after the US Civil War too

@bubblesvampire.bsky.social So I was just listening to the battpes list and I'm surprised no one included Bautzen or Monrughen or Heilsberg or Ostrolenka Vitoria played a huge role in convincing the Allies in the North to break the ceasefire with Napoleon so it's more decisive than Salamanc and

@jwsidders.bsky.social @landofrob.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social Starmer not retaliating on Tariffs with a clearly certifiable Trump is causing just a big an offence. I mean this nuts .... @martypaul10.bsky.social Americans do know he's crazy don't they ?

@landofrob.bsky.social This made me laugh

Donald Trump has told countries that want to serve on his Board of Peace they will have to ***pay $1 billion*** to be permanent members Bloomberg has obtained draft charter. It appears to suggest ***Trump himself would control the money***, sources say www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A Big thank you to the Countess of Chester Hospital staff. I'd been on my bath room floor for 9 hrs with a fracture hip bone. I was in an incredible amount of pain They've operated on me and I'm now recovering.

New Episode! So awesome to have our friend Jim Hill talk on affairs in the Niagara area as war comes to that area in 1812. Video: youtu.be/tzw71dAPhB4?... Podcast: rss.com/podcasts/con...

@cmccormack414.bsky.social doing a rewatch of the Xfiles. Iv done 5 seasons and the film. Now why the Main arc makes no sense and you can tell they were making it up as they went along but the stand alones hold up great though 24/25 episodes a season is to long and moving from Vancouver to LA was a

@cmccormack414.bsky.social have you or Wes tried any of these shows : The Terror brilliant horror show where the real life stuff is scarier than the monster ... and it actually happened Slow Horses with Gary Oldman Blakes 7, no budget but scfi brilliance The Expanse good

@cmccormack414.bsky.social Why isn't there a blu ray of DS9 😔 youtu.be/lCdvJWHKbMU?...

@bubblesvampire.bsky.social @martypaul10.bsky.social Trumps just openly threatened war with Denmark a Nato Ally over Greenland "one way or another" Just for the record Denmark allow the US to have as many bases as they want there.

@johnhaines.bsky.social @robgriffith.bsky.social Have either of you read this book ? Marengo vert much was the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life amzn.eu/d/iUdrgkm

@lethalityjane.bsky.social Those cheering Trump on over Greenland really should be aware that Danes gave there lives in Afghanistan for the US, and now they're getting threatened by a draft dodger !

@storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social @jessealexander.bsky.social This arrived 😊

@andnapoleon.bsky.social @ageofnapoleon.bsky.social So the Peninsular War started when a leader with a megalomania complex decided to arbitrarily annex what had been previously an allied country in which they already had troops based in,while at the same time fighting enemy troops in the surrounding

@artemisapphire.bsky.social @storanorrland.bsky.social So I did Paper Hearts which is a highly regarded episode. Now it's good with a great idea of Mulder having to confront the possibility that his sister was murdered by a serial killer not Alien abducted and the actor who

@jwsidders.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social @bubblesvampire.bsky.social @martypaul10.bsky.social @landofrob.bsky.social Accepting a peace award cost you the chance to rule a country ouch 😬

@jwsidders.bsky.social @landofrob.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social Steven Millers Wife posted this about Greenland 😬

@storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social So I'm on Syzygy and it's a pure Chris Carter mess of an episode. I think its meant to be a dark comedy but Carter can't write for 💩 and instead its less funny and more the characters acting nasty for well reasons (literally the planets aligned!

@martypaul10.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social A fantasy book recommendation to try

With and without a flash

A question to my military history friends. Who the master gaiter maker/repairer in a French infantry regiment during the Napoleonic Wars have served purely at the depot or have gone on campaign? @graemecallister.bsky.social

@martypaul10.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social @storanorrland.bsky.social Where I'm spending Christmas 🎄 😊

@martypaul10.bsky.social @bubblesvampire.bsky.social Trump is threatening Greenland again but the people of Greenland don't want to be a part of the US

@ageofnapoleon.bsky.social @andnapoleon.bsky.social @graemecallister.bsky.social @williamdouro.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social Some Napoleonic War book recommendations for Christmas

@storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social So Season 2 is done. The writing is definitely better than Season 1 though it does have a couple of stinkers like Firewalker (its actually comptently done but its a rip off Ice), 7.3, Excelsis Dei (yeah how they handle a rape is bad) ..

@storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social So Iv seen the Finale Anasazi and it ends on a cliff hanger so I'm guessing that they knew they were getting a third season otherwise 👀 Good episode and very tense with Mulder losing it and the introduction that his Dad may have been involved

@martypaul10.bsky.social @storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social This just blows my mind, British and Americans moved to Russia. How dumb do you have to be to think that's a good idea ! Iv got no sympathy for that American now packed off to the Front line youtu.be/DriMNklN5Io?...

@artemisapphire.bsky.social @johnaharrison.bsky.social @storanorrland.bsky.social @martypaul10.bsky.social @williamdouro.bsky.social Got a few books from the library to read over Christmas 😊

A niche little treat in yesterday: the Battle for Boxtel in 1794 from @casematepublishers.bsky.social Get into Arthur Wellesley’s/Wellington’s first battle… 📚 #histbookchat

@storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social finished Episode F. Emasculata in which Mulder teams up with Hank Schrader to get 2 escaped infected prisoners. While Scully in the prison gets another man infected while trying to work it out. Overall its enjoyable but drags in the middle

@storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social Just finished Humbug and that had a great black humour and the line "it must be something I ate" made me laugh out loud 😆
