Fire alarms are being tested in my apartment building, and my cat is not amused.
To her credit, she isn't hiding under the bed.

Imagine thinking of the music that has come out of the USA and saying "yes, yes, English, Scottish, and Irish culture"
If it weren't for African Americans there would be no blues, jazz, soul, rock, OR hip hop. Did I leave anything out?

A fellow on FB shared with me several photos of his father and Archers, apparently from 52nd A/tk Regiment, of 5th Division. With previously unknown names painted on them!
Will probably be in my Archer book 2nd edition if that ever happens

I fervently believe that the only way we free ourselves is to embrace a tangible retro future. Walk your dog. Write a book (draft in a notebook!). Knit. Do woodworking projects. Make book nooks. Paint. Buy vinyl. Plant a garden. And with that, I'm off to go sow seeds 😆 youtu.be/zkGk_A4noxI?...

My school, a top research university, gives us access to an institutional AI bot, HopGPT. As an experiment, I just asked it for the most important *academic* works on WWII. It gave me a list of 8 books. The first was Churchill, followed by David Irving, then Primo Levi. We are so, so screwed

Just wow. Yeah. Need to be broken up, regulated into the ground
this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

This still from a Pathe' video is the only image of an Archer in the captured city of Cleve (Kleve), bombed and then captured during Operation Veritable in February 1945.
Can't remember WHICH video this is from, but it's at 2:26 in some video or other, apparently.
