I see Liz Lemon has started posting on /r/AskHistorians.
Screenshot from the AskHistorians subreddit. Poster’s question is ‘I’m a late Medieval/early modern burgher in central europe. How many different cheeses do I have access to?’

Worth it for The Den Of Purring Kittens 😍
c0nc0rdance.bsky.social c0nc0rdance @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 2d
In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:

Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.

Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.

Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

As if BBC News did not have enough problems in its dealings with Trump as it attempts to have the president’s defamation lawsuit thrown out, now comes a fresh challenge in the form of the corporation’s official “US news partner” suddenly taking a sharp turn in the administration’s direction.

Well, if it’s 26 January, it must be... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! The 356th (or 357th; accounts vary) anniversary of MP, courtier and diplomat Henry Savile writing to the Earl of Rochester about a terrible injustice: the seizure of a shipment of dildoes 🧵
mezzotint of John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester, 1705 – depicts a young man in an enormous 17th century wig and robes. A young man, to be specific, who looks at camera like an absolute rotter

“She’s lost count.”

“Good. Wait for her to start again… then everyone hop.”

“She’s panicking.”

“Perfect.”

#BigGardenBirdwatch
Four glossy Starlings crowd around a shallow terracotta birdbath in a garden lawn, one splashing in the water while others hop around it. Above them is the dialogue: “She’s lost count.” “Good. Wait for her to start again… then everyone hop.” “She’s panicking.” “Perfect.”

The brave people of Minnesota have endured two weeks of the Trump regime’s paramilitary occupation, sent to intimidate, beat, and raid civilians across Minneapolis in a campaign of fear meant to crush protest and dissent.

Today the people showed they will not surrender. #3E
