Baudet ontkent contact met Rusland, maar FVD-Kamerlid Ralf Dekker videobelt met Poetins partij Verenigd Rusland Rusland: FVD-partijvoorzitter Thierry Baudet blijft contacten met Rusland ontkennen, maar zijn Kamerlid Ralf Dekker blijkt te videobellen met gesanctioneerde Russische parlementariërs over een alterna...

Hoe amusant: schrijf iets over de overduidelijke sympathie van Forum voor democratie (Baudet, Ralf Dekker, John Laughland) voor Poetins Rusland en een deel van de aanhang komt los en laat zich, soms scheldend, kennen als ‘fellow traveller’ van de dictatuur: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Wilders die tegen Bontenbal begint te schreeuwen "jij wilt niet dat homoseksuelen zichzelf kunnen zijn".
Motherfucker in jouw programma (dus letterlijk van en door Geert) staat dat je in scholen een verbod op "links-liberale seksuele indoctrinatie" wilt

Very interesting article by Malcolm on the depiction of a hypothetical WW3 in Cold War-Era Tabletop Roleplaying Game Twilight 2000.

@hollynielsen.bsky.social No idea if this is up your alley?

Rechtse partijen schilderen de PvdA ook nu weer af als een gevaar In het verleden hebben rechtse partijen links vaker verketterd, maar ze zijn er dikwijls toch mee gaan regeren.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

Most of us can live with it I can, in any case.

Moment mal, sehe ich das richtig? Schützen uns Unternehmen gar nicht vor autoritären Machtübernahmen? Machen Kapitalisten etwa gemeinsame Sache mit Faschisten?

This event is happening on Wednesday! I think there's still time to book a place for either in person or to attend online and watch some very smart people (and me) talk about history and fantasy in games and media! 🗃️

Perhaps this is obvious but perhaps not: both my research work and my public-facing writing would be impossible without the astounding resources of university libraries.

My household also makes ample use of our local public library.

Libraries are amazing.

The homepage for the Canadian letters and images project. It shows soldiers posing for a photograph and there is a search bar in the centre. In the about section below, which cannot be seen in this image, it provides this information: The Canadian Letters and Images Project, created in 2000, is an online digital archive of the Canadian war experience, both home front and battlefront, from any conflict in which Canadians have participated. The focus of the project is on the personal materials of participants, such as letters and photographs, which permit us to experience the war through their eyes and their words. These are very often the stories of ordinary Canadians, largely forgotten and overlooked. Our mission is to digitally preserve and continue to make freely accessible this important part of Canada’s heritage for this generation and future generations. The vision of the project is to continue to expand this repository of Canadian archival materials by collaborating with Canadians to preserve and share the individual and collective stories that have shaped our past Accessibility to the past is key to understanding who we are as a nation. We are committed to free access for everyone to the materials of the project. All collections are of equal importance. Every letter, photograph, or other artifact has an important story to tell. The collections and their contents are not edited or censored. Our role as historians is not to judge the past in light of the present, but to present everything in its entirety at the time of its creation.

PLEASE REPOST 🥺🙏

The Canadian Letters & Images Project is an online digital archive of Canadians’ experience during wartime at home & in battle. It contains thousands of personal letters & photos that reveal people’s experience through their own words & eyes.

That's awesome! Congrats Chris!

This was a hugely fun chat in the middle of a heatwave! If you've ever wondered what the hell my academic pathway from the FIrst World War, via computer games, to Star Wars actually looks like - then we break it down here! 🗃️

Deze VVD-prominent heeft Doorbraak en mij gesommeerd om een artikel te verwijderen.

Hij probeert ons te intimideren (met zijn eigen incassobureau nota bene) omdat hij geen kritiek kan hebben.

Maar hij is in het verkeerde wespennest gaan staan.

Is Benson Bobrick's Angel in the Whirlwind comparable in quality? Bought it years ago and still need to finish it.
