Not sure what prompted this thought, but did anyone else watch the Underground Railroad series about a fantasy version of the US where the Underground Railroad was a literal underground train?

I remember it being so thematically dark that it was very difficult to watch.

It's almost like Trump knew the papers would be worthless and just wanted to see the British PM scramble around on the floor beneath him like the Salacious Crumb* type character that he is

(the little shit who lived in Jabba the Hutt's tail and mocked his victims)

And to be fair to Chamberlain, he didn't know what was coming, it wasn't taught in British schools to every living Brit for generations....Starmer just looked at all that History and thought "But that's in the Past, this is completely different"

My youngest got me the most amazing Christmas present! A session handling some items from the V&A East storehouse. Yes, actual touching allowed! (Gloves provided) So I touched two ancient mandolins, a watercolour by Beatrix Potter, an original sketch for a Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back costume design, and a four-track tape recorder and mixer desk owned by David Bowie. She knows me so well. ❤️❤️❤️ #art #history #music

In 1943, Luria and Delbrück showed that Darwin’s natural selection applies to bacteria just as it applies to more complex forms of life. #Poetry #Science #History #Genetics #Bacteria #Luria #Delbrück #Darwin #NaturalSelection #Evolution (https://sharpgiving.com/Sharp/thebookofscience/items/p1943a.html)

This is really cool! Last year I read William Dalrymple's "The Golden Road" and central to its narrative are these trade routes. This was an experiment to reconstruct a lost 5th century CE ship design based on drawing in the Ajanta Caves. According to Dalrymple, images in the Ajanta Caves provide some of the best info for the period.

"#ICE does not move like the gestapo, they move like slave patrols."

This is home grown terrorism..

I can't unsee this now. I can't unsee slaver behavior in #ICE tactics. It makes way more sense, the Gestapo were copying *them*.
