The Black and Tans were brutal and untrained. My great grand uncle never recovered from a beating at their hands.
In case this goes over some heads, the 'black and tans' were Britain's paramilitary police in Ireland during the War of Independence.
After years of burning out whole towns and murdering innocent people, many went straight to Palestine to do the very same, preparing the way for Israeli takeover.

if you’re still using Twitter and you have art on there you might at least want to delete the art
Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts.
Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

No, it’s not a hedge trimmer, it’s a theorbo, a type of lute with an extraordinary extended neck, developed in late 16C for operas, and still played today (sometimes) www.gramophone.co.uk/blogs/articl...

At 3:45 pm on 16 February 1909, an accidental ignition of coal dust caused a massive explosion at the West Stanley colliery in Durham, killing 168 miners. This poster, released shortly after, recorded the faces of them all ~ some as young as 13

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
