My thoughts on #AHouseofDynamite www.vassar.edu/news/new-thr... (From before seeing the movie, which I have since watched.)

In advance of Netflix’s A House of Dynamite, revisit the real false nuclear alerts of 1979-1980. From FRUS: National Security Policy, 1977–1980 ⬇️ #ColdWar #HouseOfDynamite #FRUS #NuclearHistory #Carter

#AmericasColdWarrior is $19.28 on Amazon. That is less than a Sweetgreen salad plus the brown rice square. amzn.to/45NBF9d #booksky

Brian Blessed as Grampy Rabbit is surely the best part of Peppa Pig.

@rjgranieri.bsky.social A remake of this as well! Would be nice.

I request a remake of this movie

@strombergsteve.bsky.social (I have rediscovered my random assortment of gifs.)

$19.28 is even better! amzn.to/4l2WAtv
