I have learned about this incredible pull-tab bottled beer technology while on vacation in Greece. Truly this is the birthplace of democracy

I finished Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 last night and I’m already having that post-finishing-a-story nostalgia you get after reading a good book.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Historians Politely Remind Nation To Check What's Happened In Past Before Making Any Big Decisions theonion.com/historians-p...

This is an appropriate response, which also seems to imply that your politics can be as racist as you like, you just need to be polite about it. www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

I know they don’t know Dr Seuss in Italy because this could have been avoided #Sanremo2025 #Sanremo

Okay, who had "The actual fucking Pope shows up" on their #Sanremo bingo card?

January was a movie-light and Sopranos-heavy month, so there is still a christmas movie hanging out here. The Cremator/Spalovač mrtvol exceeded all expectations

crop rotation is woke. covering my field in garlic

I forgot to share this new episode of the podcast when it came out, but they say now is the second best time to plant a tree. We recorded it at @aseees.bsky.social 2022 in Chicago and I’m thrilled it finally gets to see the light of day in 2025: www.slavx.org/listen/episo...

If only there was some kind of aviation safety advisory committee in place for disasters like this

Babe wake up. New Molotov-Ribbentrop pact just dropped

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Today I learned Pawn Stars and Storage Wars are dubbed into Italian

I am part of the 2nd generation born in the so-called "Recovered Territories"– formerly German lands that are now part of Poland. In the spirit of Lower Silesian pride, I'd like to give you an idea of what it means to live surrounded by traces of a foreign population. 🧵🗃️

@bohemianestates.bsky.social Count Tilly, you must use your influence as the field marshal of the Catholic League to dismantle the tercio program. It is an incredibly wasteful use of pike and shot.

A classic. Hans Böhm was the inspiration for Waidwen in Pillars of Eternity.

Saw Gladiator II last night and idk why we still let Ridley Scott make movies. Forgetting the history (you know Numidia, the city?) the movie was so poorly paced and none of the characters felt authentic. The whole thing was “remember Gladiator? That movie rocked” which is true but, so what?

In honor of Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day here in the Czech Republic, here is a picture of a Berry Trix Yogurt-colored Supermarine Spitfire Butterfly sculpture they have up on Národní Třída.

At this point, I can barely bother to be mad at Trump himself when every headline is like "CANNY INSIDERS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT DONALD TRUMP NOT THREE MITT ROMNEYS IN A TRENCH COAT."

It’s cold and grey here in Prague, so this feels like the right time to replay Bloodborne

OK THEN it may have taken us an embarrassingly long time to work out how to login again, but we're here and we're ready to once again be the best digital public history project we know how to be

I hate to keep going back to this but one time every conservative in America lost their entire shit because Michelle Obama said maybe kids could eat a vegetable at school sometimes and now there's a super mutant from Fallout about to run the FDA

Hi, I’m new here. I’d like to post more than once I decade like I did on the last one.
