I have 5 books on the go at the moment, mostly Plantagenet history books. I keep dipping into different ones but not managing to finish any of them!

I like young Plantagenet Palliser for budget director — a nepo baby, sure, but I think the kid's got promise

A little eel history to welcome the year!

In 1535, Richard Graynfeld wrote Arthur Plantagenet about the fishing in the castle moat, saying: "I pray God send us good stuff of eels."

And may it be so with you, too, friends. I wish you all good stuff of eels in this coming year.

Meme. Medieval painting of people kneeling in prayer. There are 6 of them, & they are probably all men. The two at the front look rather wealthy. One is wearing a rich blue robe with white fur trim, and the other is wearing a richer brown robe with white fur trim. He is kneeling on a cushion, to protect his knees from the tile floor. Both men are wearing red crewneck shirts under their robes; no deep v-necks here. They're modest and cold. The other worshipers are kneeling behind these first two, & you can't tell to much about them. They are not dressed as richly, though, so we should assume that they are groupies. The man in brown is holding a book in his hand, while the man in blue is reading from a book on a stand in front of him. His hands are likely clasped in prayer. Or he might be rubbing them together in glee. Probably not; his expression is doleful, not gleeful. Perhaps he is rubbing them together in dole. Meme text reads: "Pray harder, Richard Last year's eel stuff was bad"

Windsor came from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha from Hanover from Welf from Este from Obertenghi, Hanover took the throne from Stuart, who took from Tudor, who took from York who came from Lancaster, from Plantagenet, from Plantagenet-Angevin, from Ingelger. Plantagenet-Angevin took from Blois, who took from Normandy, who took from Godwin, who took from Wessex, who took from Knýtlinga, who took from Wessex.

When John Doar was head of the Civil Rights Division, he quoted from Shakespeare’s RICHARD III in an eloquent closing argument in the case against Klan murderers.

The current head is calling podcasters “hoes” for criticizing the president’s cabinet

Tried getting ChatGPT to give work advice in the manner of Tudor and Plantagenet kings and it worked surprisingly well. Universities are still more medieval than I realised.

La compréhension du résultat de ses actions, c’est la vraie magie du jeu. Et il faut jouer pour comprendre. J’avais adoré réaliser à Plantagenet qu’on allait vraiment ruiner le pays pour pouvoir gagner et qu’on serait détesté.

Christmas this year has been, shall we say, less than a wonderful time, but the two saving graces have been 1. Heated Rivalry finale which made me believe love is real actually and 2. making my family watch The Lion in Winter so they understand why I am Like That about the Plantagenet Dynasty
