A lot of what people think they know about Allied propaganda in 1914 is actually German and German influenced pacifist propaganda about Allied propaganda from the 1920s. Wheels within wheels. And some of those who created this idea went on to be the earliest Holocaust deniers.

Faroe Islands drew 2-2 with Kazakhstan tonight - which must be the two most utterly dissimilar places playing in the Nations League.

very tired of being told it is the responsibility of urban democratic voters never to risk possibly maybe by chance seeming less than respectful of rural red state life and then watching thousands in nebraska cheer on the president joking about a nuclear strike on me and millions of my neighbors

This is the inevitable end result of Chamberlain revisionism... Although it is equally likely that the 'War Game' show on Sky 1 is responsible.

I've always wondered how exactly you bake 24 blackbirds in a pie in such a way as they are still able to sing when the pie is opened. That is a proper challenge IMO.

I’d suggest the genre of profile journalism has some shortcomings
The cover of Fortune Magazine that calls the convicted fraud Sam Bankman-Fried “the next warren buffet” because of his crypto-scamThe cover of Forbes, where Elizabeth Holmes holds a capsule of blood for a cover story extolling her genius, shortly before she was convicted for fraud and sentenced to a long prison sentence.A glossy photo spread extolling the glamour and taste of Asma al-Assad, weeks before her husband committed multiple war crimes and eventually had to flee to Russia to avoid being hacked apart by an enraged rob.

Having now had twenty-odd years of social media depleting our stocks of sanity, like overfishing North Sea cod, I think now might be a good time for a strict social media quota for about 20 years or so, to let stocks recover.

The USA exists on three fundamental assumptions: 1. POTUS takes his oath to uphold the law and Constitution seriously 2.The Secretary of Defence will not transmit or instigate an illegal order 3. Senior leadership of the military would disobey illegal orders. Not feeling confident right now.

Hegseth's 'send me' list of the historic enemies of the US armed forces- Redcoats, Commies and ''Islamists'- are combined responsible for fewer than 10% of the deaths of US armed forces in their history. I'm sure we can all guess number one and number two on the list that he oddly doesn't mention.
