🎙️Plan for a coffin train I mention on @deathstudiespod.bsky.social! This would have transported corpses ~30 km from Paris to Méry-sur-Oise, where Haussmann planned to build a 5k-acre Necropolis (that’s roughly 45x the size of Père-Lachaise!) to accommodate Paris’s dead for the next 600 years 🚂⚰️

Let’s be clear. Trump’s overhaul of the Kennedy Center board and criticism of recent programs comes straight out of Hitler and Goebbels’s playbook. More people need to study art history. #ArtHistoryRepeatsItself #DragIsNotDegenerate
