I have the hope that once in a while Americans will vote in a non-fascist that may remove this idiot policy. But I have no plans to ever go back to the USA, so it doesn't matter
No autotune used here
So come the storms of winter,
And then the birds in spring again.
I do not fear the time

Here it is
It is a nice town indeed. I have good memories of the Librairie Point Virgule. And the Africa museum was tentatively making its transition from a mission/colonial museum to a museum of African culture
Couldn't say it was ever away. But the mojo is definitely here
...Also in the case of the Mayaguez incident satelite comms seems to have tempted Ford into micromanaging the situation. 3/3
..to interfere with local policy through suddenly vastly improved communications. In Philip's case it caused stagnation and indecision throughout his empire as subordinates waited for him to gather all the relevant information and make up his mind 2/×
I remember when Geoffrey Parker explained the administrative style of Philip II of Spain with (iirc) the handling of the Mayaguez incident by president Ford. In both cases technology allowed (or as Parker would have it: seemed to allow) the ruler... 1/x
We are waiting for the one who calls the shots to decide it's done. And it's not Trump or Hegseth
Ah! There's going to be volumes! 😃
Looking forward to that as well, but will it cover Pheasant as well or only Normandy?
I admit that I can't name a good overview in English. There are a few in Dutch. But these two together do a pretty good job (although they are not about Pheasant exclusively). Hefty tomes though, and hefty in price as well
Must admit I've been reading up on it too
Operation Pheasant?
Going to use today's anniversary of the March 10, 1945 firebombing of Tokyo to start another thread, this one dedicated to a research question that’s proven quite the journey: how many Koreans died in the firestorm?
tl;dr: 1000s, and some argue disproportionately more than Japanese
450 jaar Akte van Redemptie! Vanmiddag opende wethouder Robert Barker in het Atrium van het Haagse stadhuis een tentoonstelling over het belang van dit document voor Den Haag (en Nederland!). Sinds 1576 beschermt de Akte van Redemptie het Haagse Bos, de Koekamp en het Malieveld. 1)
re-upping this one. a depressing thread for depressing times.
Mijn favoriete Internationale Vrouw van vandaag is Sofonisba Anguissola (1532-1625). Een geweldige schilderes, geboren in Cremona, opgeleid in Rome. Ze ging werken voor het hof van Filips II in Madrid en werd héél oud. Ze overleed in Palermo.
The view from the other side. Good feint by @clogfather.bsky.social and @redandloud.bsky.social on my left flank, followed by smart manoeuvering on my right. I should be brushing up on my #ChianofCommand knowledge #SpreadtheLard
Lots of stand-ins, but it’s time for a new test for our #ClogLard scenario. As usual impossible to do without the help of @sabotag3d.bsky.social and @tabletopstudios.bsky.social #spreadthelard #wargaming
I'll pass on the compliments!
I got introduced to Here's The Ruckus yesterday. My small French retinue losing two leaders in quick succession settled the issue. Happy to try again (especially with these lovely painted Perry and Athena minis)
Het kabinet wil regels rond protesteren aanscherpen en demonstranten die zich misdragen harder aanpakken. Maar is dit wel echt nodig? Deskundigen plaatsen er grote vraagtekens bij, en volgens onderzoek zijn demonstraties helemaal geen groeiend probleem. Wat zit er achter deze plannen?
Menu diner bezoek koningin-regentes Emma en koningin Wilhelmina aan de provincie Gelderland in 1897. Het menu verscheen in een franstalige Nederlandse courant.
Mijn laatste draadje hier vandaag. Ik ga jullie wat menu's voorschotelen. Er zijn prachtige sites waar je kunt neuzen, zoals in Dijon: patrimoine.bm-dijon.fr/pleade/ead.h... Vaak zitten ze verscholen in familiearchieven. Dan moet je zelf gaan neuzen. Delpher kranten is ook een goede bron. >2
And they use GW stuff
People at my club have been playing it for 1:1 games and multiplayer. I'm not sure they've tried the expansions
