🧵Dear Friends on Twitter, I’m basically going to try to use the other place, mostly, reserving this account for reference, and stragglers. One major thing is to get away from the INTRUSIVE ADVERTISING, as well as get away from Elon‼️ @KBAndersen @ElayneBoosler

@FXMC1957 🧵You know, what men were thinking about nutrition in the last quarter of the 19th century was interesting. A lot of thoughts on how to cut down masturbation by avoiding spicy food. But Graham disliked corn🌽. The maize was too American INDIAN, 👀! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester…

31 May 1884. Dr John Harvey Kellogg patented “flaked cereal”. It later became known as Corn Flakes. Kellogg hoped the cereal would reduce indigestion and discourage masturbation, but why he thought a bowl of cornflakes could do this remains unclear.

Wow. @derspiegel has made millions of Nazi party membership cards searchable so Germans can look up their ancestors and get a glimpse of what they were doing under Hitler

With hindsight this was actually a completely predictable outcome of wearing big shiny earrings while fostering a baby magpie. I might need to tone down my jewellery while he is around!

By Sept '43 Hitler had moved his secret #V2 ballistic missile testing to a heavily forested base in Blizna, #Poland. For nine months, over 100 rockets were tested. This facinating story retold in Stealing Hitler's Rocket by @guywalters @BloomsburyBooks @HoZ_Books @WeHaveWaysPod

The Feast of Holy Pentecost is celebrated today by the Orthodox Churches. Shown here is a depiction of Pentecost from a 12th-century manuscript produced at Gelati Monastery in western Georgia.

Huge thank you to the ornithologist who kindly came by yesterday to visit Ajax and professionally install this identifying leg ring. Now he is recorded in the BTO database and can be monitored and protected for life🤍

“Hi. It’s Sunday. My people get mad at me for trying to go into other peoples’ houses. I don’t understand why. I just want to check out what’s going on and see if they want to be nice to me. People are pretty nice to me. Also, I love you.”

On a NYC trip and generally stay in Brooklyn, which always means lots of walking around Brooklyn Heights. Love this building and only now do I realize it’s the Brooklyn Historical Society (now Center for Brooklyn History.) And it’s FREE. Come for the building, stay for some history. 1/12

During today’s cultural diversity tour of Tbilisi, which I conduct for students each term, we briefly stopped by the commemoration service for the 18th-century Armenian poet Sayat-Nova at the Surb Gevork Cathedral in Tbilisi.

@KBAndersen @TheJusticeDept 🧵Can you believe we’re HERE, 😒⁉️ We both went through Watergate. Your older ’n me—you should’ve been shouting LOUDER. Nevertheless, we fight together to get this quisling criminal out of office, & try to restore some semblance of integrity & intelligence to our country‼️

Remarkable, heartening, inspiring. A fifth of federal lawyers from the @TheJusticeDept and other agencies, more than 10,000, have left. Flooding into legal jobs fighting the anti-democratic, anti-freedom. anti-progress policies and corruption of this—yes— regime. Gift link below.
