Now reading…

I mostly read history with a little science thrown into the mix, so this is nice for a change. Really enjoying it. @officialmelbrooks.bsky.social is an icon and a treasure.

From the summer of 1911. It seems little has changed in 114 years.

An excerpt from the book “A Camera on the Banks.”
From page 43 of the book “A Camera on the Banks.” The text refers to conversations recorded during the summer of 1911. The men told him tales, tall and otherwise, of fast ships and big catches, and engaged in heated political debates about the upcoming federal election, which centred on the issue of free trade. When they exhausted these topics, the men retailed scandals of the first families of the county, "the skeletons being dragged out of the cupboards and literally kicked around the decks."

Picked up a few items from the Moncton Book Fair yesterday. Only $30 for the lot. Still haven’t read all the books I bought at lat year’s fair but that’s alright - it never hurts to have more books.

My two grandfathers were part of the original antifa, the allied forces that defeated Hitler’s nazis. It’s unfathomable to think that, 80 years later, an American president would be labelling them as terrorists.
A social media post from that blithering, demented, mentally deficient, intellectually stunted, corrupt, pedophile, rapist, convicted felon, and orange sack of shit Donald Trump, wherein he declares people who stand up against fascist fucking assholes like him to be terrorists. Donald J. Trump * @realDonaldTrump I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
