I saw Ginsberg at a reading in the 80s and he was an oldish man then.

I wonder if they would apply the same argument to the defence of Upper Canada from the Fenians in 1866.

I’d love these clowns to tell me how many mass shooters are white, and then tell me how that number squares with their idea of high trust homogeneity.

Here in Collingwood the local funeral home has gone from 25-50 funerals in a year two decades ago to 250. They just took on an intern full time and she hasn’t quite finished her licensing. So a great career opportunity if you’re good with people and a much needed service.

What a lovely kitty. Bless you for giving him a loving home.

Yes I would and I have. Usually during their summer holidays when they visit our little tourist town. Yeah, polls. 🤷‍♂️

Waiting impatiently for valet parking to bring them their horses. I loved painting these two guys.

28mm Austrian Napoleonic general from Front Rank miniatures. All Austrian generals carried vegetables in their headdress in case any of their troops came down with scurvy.

28mm French Napoleonic general by Front Rank miniatures is unhappy to learn that his horse is still in the garage.

It’s astonishing that the Kriegsmarine risked a capital ship considering they had bad charts, ice, weather, and Soviet and RN subs operating out of Murmansk. Maybe they were bored. 😉

The minie ball shattered bones. If you got hit in the arm or leg and the bones were mangled , there was no way to repair the injury. Amputation was the only practical treatment.

Absolutely fascinating story, thank you for it.

I’m glad you unpacked those pachyderms and took them out of the spare trunk, they look great! 😉

A teacher casts a long shadow, and influences lives for decades. Well done, Prof.

I’ve never met a model railroader who complained about the (considerable) cost of that hobby.

Wise. Clergy should avoid relationships with parishioners who are realtors, tradespeople, bankers and financial advisors. Praying that you find a wonderful and affordable home!

Fascinating. I’m wondering if that rabbi survived the war.

John le Carre would be disappointed that a spy chief would just be venal instead of being an ardent commie since Oxford. We’ve gone from TTSS to Slow Horses territory.

In the grim dark future, there are still Big Macs.😉 Lovely models and painting. Are those Khurasan models?

Not loving that TNT is using Kalshi predictions in the Rays Yankees game. I hate sports betting like I hate AI and bedbugs.

This is the same electorate that did a one night stand with the federal NDP, so …

C. Find a creative hobby. If you’re musical, join a choir, concert band, ukulele group, whatever. try a book club. Learn the names of local rivers, trees and flowers. look for an affirming religious community that does good in the community. Pets. Drive people to chemo. Garden.

I want to know where New Yorkers keep all these farm animals?

I’d be the old geezer w the cross back then. Now that we just cheer for Vikings in the World Cup, happier times.😉

Hmmm, British officers being dicks. Sounds … (remembers theee years at BATUS) … plausible.

I’m just a rando in the replies but I had the same experience seeing it in person, it was powerful, and I’m not a modern art fan. Now if I had seen it without knowing about the controversy, I might not have cared much one way or the other.

The wargames publisher SPI did a high level political conflict game based on the Quebec issue. I’ve never seen it in the wild, probably a small fortune on the used games market. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadia...

I fear we aren’t that far from returning to the Nazi policy of eliminating “useless mouths”.

I would love to be played by Alex Guinness though I am more like Trevor Howard. 😀
