D-Day: The Normandy landings through rare photographs, 1944 - Rare Historical Photos As the D-Day grows more distant in the mirror of history, the pictures remain with us, an uncompromising keepsake to that extraordinary, remarkable event.

"The D-Day Invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, was an immense undertaking involving nearly 6,939 Allied ships, 11,590 aircraft, and 156,000 troops."

I'm all for glamorous KS re-imaginings and glossy new editions. But you can just play like it's 1979 without the costs of 2025 :)

So often the difference between long running games and campaigns that soon unravel on and off the table :)

The virus particle is too small for the mask to catch, but the virus doesn't float freely (like smallpox), it travels in aerosolized droplets which the mask will catch.

‘People were repressed into silence’: the Spanish artist creating a visual memory of fascism’s horrors A Madrid exhibition of work by the celebrated comic book artist Paco Roca marks 50 years since the death of Franco

Anyone who will be in Madrid between now and September should visit this exhibition. Graphic novels, like those of Paco Roca, have been a very important means of communicating experiences of the Spanish Civil War and Francoist regime. #Publichistory #🗃️ #Spain

Exercise ‘better than drugs’ to stop cancer returning after treatment, trial finds First clear evidence that structured exercise regime reduces risk of dying by a third, can stop tumours coming back or a new cancer developing

Consider me convinced on the basis of buckets of evidence :)

Wolf's head emerging from screen.

For millennia the wolves were at the door, now they're inside our mobile phones and jumping out of every screen. Might have been an idea to properly regulate social media from the outset.

It's not about Putin's Brexity parrots or Morgan's dark or not so dark arts or the increasingly absurd AI scam; it's about energy bills, housing costs and the endless corporate subsidy junkies.

Why PM doesn't Mark Francois have to pay back the 5% of GDP that he gifted to European states as part of his defund Britain campaign? We are prepared to take this missing cash in the form modern currencies including sixpences, premium bonds and green shield stamps.

These are just a small selection of commonly used false arguments used by extremists to undermine genuine debate. The intention with false arguments is to use up time you could be spending on effective messaging aimed at those open to listening/ considering facts.

One reason why there's no point arguing with foreign-owned Brexit bombasts is that you're not being invited to debate. It's just a cynical mish mash of red herrings and tiresome provocations . . .

The functional reply to every livid outburst about betrayal from the Brexit fruit and nut brigade is it gives us £9,000,000,000 more to spend on genuinely affordable homes every year. We have too many hotels and not enough houses :)

#brexit

There is just the one affordable, manageable, all round agreement easy solution available to block populism. Prefab homes, no RTB council homes, microhomes, . . . an army of publicly funded housebuilders. The silence of the left, centre and centre right on this has a name - complicity.

With bullet points to make it more accessible/ easier to return to. And a variety of bullet points can add flavour/ differentiate between types of lists :)

American Boris Johnson is frothing at the mouth over what are almost entirely discussions. It's almost as if after discarding 5% of Britain's economy/ £100,000,000,000+ every year he now wants to cause even more damage.

Labour defence review proposes a ‘Home Guard’ to protect UK, report claims Plan for thousands-strong civilian force reportedly included in government’s Strategic Defence Review

A Dad's Army, a missile defence shield and/ or id cards will neither fund nor build the social cohesion that amounts to a defence. Building feckin council houses and genuinely affordable homes rapidly will.

Women's FA Cup final LIVE: Chelsea vs Man Utd - TV stream, score & updates Follow live text, TV coverage, radio commentary, score updates and match stats as Chelsea take on Manchester United in the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley.

Watching Palace fend off overfunded and overgroomed Man City was mildly amusing but short on any actual open play. The Women's FA Cup Final, Chelsea just went a goal up, is more evenly matched and considerably more entertaining as a result :)

As Eurovision gets serious all we will see are the glitter and the sequins. However, deep down every contestant would assassinate most of the others for the glittering prize of a win and at the going rate 7 seconds of fame :)

Politics has been so all consuming for so long I've about forgotten how to settled down to enjoy a game of footie. Quite looking forward to the FA Cup Final where I will be rooting for Palace but may the best team on the day win :)

I've lots of non-AI going back years. However, I have been known to mix that with PD images, which can be drawn from many sources such as movie stars of the 30s or images from the Golden Age of Illustration. Tidying them up takes time but seems more legit and is about remixing my own content.
