@BritzerHist I’m reading Katja Hoyer’s excellent Weimar and one of the people in it has just finished writing a doctoral thesis about the symbolism of blue flowers in literature. I thought that sounded interesting so I’m sure some would be interested in yours!

Just finished university and it feels rather anticlimactic. I miss my dissertation work. One day I’d love to write a book on the Kaiser and culture as there are so many brilliant anecdotes that show a different side. Would anyone actually read that? Is it a worth pursuing?

Everyone seemingly has their own opinion about what Star Wars should be or shouldn’t be. What’s great and what’s not great. So we have to ask: What is 1 thing every Star Wars fan can agree on?

Happy birthday to Sir Peter Cushing! The legendary actor who played Moff Tarkin in the original Star Wars was born on this day in 1913. May the Force be why you.

@9Kings1910 Same with Rudyard Kipling and Lloyd George. It’s all a terrible tragedy and what’s most forgotten is the kaisers opposition for war with Britain and America as he never saw them as enemies

@BritzerHist It's a nice photo, but despite having gotten along just fine with the Kaiser in person, a few years later Roosevelt was even more gung-ho for war with Germany than Wilson.

I don’t often agree with @Tessadunlop, but she was bang on about Scotland and passing the buck in today’s podcast episode. However, I think this speaks for a bigger problem within devolution and whether it’s actually fit for purpose….

@Kerrcarr01 Why do so many people compare it to an AT-ST head when it looks far more like an AT-DP?

@itsgeorge05 As a party member I agree, it’s definitely an uphill battle and being from a SW Lib Dem stronghold, it feels like the party hasn’t quite realised the scale of the problem. Could never bring myself to vote Lib Dem though!

@BritzerHist I’m a Tory member I still support the party but we’ll see what happens in the next GE hopefully they’ll get a grip of themselves

@Enjoy_The_Show3 @EchoesofEmpire_ There’s an interesting chapter on it in ‘The Kaiser: New Research on Wilhelm II’s role in Imperial Germany’ and there are two very good contemporary biographies written by Stanley Shaw and Asa Dickinson which cover his relationship with America brilliantly. All are free online.

@Will_Tanner_1 Being fond of the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires I personally hate Woodrow Wilson more, but understand why you would say that. It was Wilson though who first explicitly repudiated the idea that Americans and Britons are "cousins."

@BritzerHist @EchoesofEmpire_ Damn thanks for the info. I'll have to read more into it because it's genuinely my first time I've heard of Teddy and Wilhelm having contact with each other and even meeting.

@Enjoy_The_Show3 @EchoesofEmpire_ Wilhelm was a huge fan of Teddy Roosevelt and they exchanged letters for 10 years. There’s a fair amount of very interesting literature on their relationship and how it fit into America’s wider love for the Kaiser which Wilhelm would reciprocate at any chance he could.
