@AustRepublican @archeohistories Ajax - which began before your happy memories but sculpted the people of Iran's destiny as all ours is sculpted

@archeohistories Like something happened in the late 1970s that changed the path of Iran
For the love of me I can't remember what

A British cartoon depicting Iran (as a Persian cat on a Persian carpet) with a British lion, an American eagle and a Russian bear hovering over it...
The caption reads: "The, Cat that wanted to be alone."
The date at the top is December 5, 1945. At that time, Iran had been occupied for four years and divided between USSR and Great Britain as a result of Operation Accord (1941). Due to Iran's lack of independence and subordination to the two allied powers, it became the venue for Tehran Conference in 1943, the first in World War II.
The cartoon was published during the Iran Crisis, which arose after Soviet Union refused to withdraw its troops from Iran following World War II. During the war, Iran had been occupied and divided between Great Britain and the Soviet Union. The cartoon satirizes the lack of independence for Iran and its vulnerability to the influence of the three major powers. The caption "The Cat That Wanted to Be Alone" highlights Iran's desire for neutrality and sovereignty, which was disregarded by the occupying forces.
A week after the cartoon was published, Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan was proclaimed in northern Iran. About a month later, the Kurdistan Republic (Mehabad Republic) emerged in northwest of the country. Both were created with the support of USSR — and both collapsed after it left Iran.
British Empire completed its withdrawal from Iranian territory in March 1946, and the Soviet Union in May 1946.

@PeloSwing these extravagant displays while we struggle to pay rent is so tone deaf

In 1900, Clara Immerwahr accomplished something no German woman had ever done before. At the University of Breslau, she earned a doctorate in chemistry with highest honors, becoming the first woman in Germany to reach that milestone. In a scientific world dominated almost entirely by men, her achievement was extraordinary. Colleagues described her as brilliant, disciplined, and fiercely committed to the idea that science should improve human life.
Yet the career she had worked so hard to build slowly slipped out of her reach. After marrying fellow chemist Fritz Haber, Immerwahr found herself pushed into the traditional role expected of wives at the time. Haber’s career skyrocketed—his research would later earn him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry—while Clara’s own scientific ambitions were largely set aside. She translated her husband’s papers, hosted his academic colleagues, and struggled to remain connected to a field that rarely allowed women equal footing.
Then came the moral crisis that would define her legacy. During World War I, Haber became the leading architect of Germany’s chemical weapons program. In April 1915, he oversaw the first large-scale chlorine gas attack at the Second Battle of Ypres, unleashing a weapon that would horrify the world.
Clara was devastated. A scientist herself, she believed chemistry should serve humanity, not destroy it. She openly condemned the use of poison gas, calling it a betrayal of science and a perversion of knowledge. To her, the new weapons represented the moment when intellect had been turned against life itself.
Shortly after Haber returned home celebrating the attack as a military triumph, Clara took his service revolver and ended her life in their garden in 1915. She was only forty-four.

@HustleBitch_ And you cant post shit from a warship during wartime

🚨 U.S. NAVY SAILOR FILMS WHAT THEY’RE BEING FED ON A WARSHIP DURING THIS WAR — PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED
A sailor aboard a U.S. Navy warship filmed the food line during deployment.
The camera slides past the trays revealing:
• breaded patties piled in a metal pan
• thick brown gravy poured over everything
• oily greens
• picked-over mixed vegetables
• a tray of rice nearly scraped empty
• a few scattered potatoes left at the bottom
Some say this is exactly what military chow has always looked like.
Others say if sailors are deployed and fighting a war, their meals should look a lot better than this.
If billions are spent on the military every year… why does the food look like this?

🚨 FRAMER CAUGHT ON CAMERA “FIXING” A MASSIVE GAP IN A ROOF BEAM — PEOPLE SAY THIS IS EXACTLY WHY NEW HOUSES ARE FALLING APART
A framer filming on a roof points out a big gap where two beams won’t pull together.
Instead of replacing anything, he straddles the beam, hammers nails in at angles, and forces the boards together with his body weight.
The entire time he’s doing it in flip-flops.
Then he wedges a block of wood into the gap, drives in screws, and calls it “perfectly flush.”
Now the video is blowing up online as builders and homeowners argue over what they’re seeing.
Some say it’s a normal framing trick.
Others say this is exactly how structural problems start.
Would you trust a house built like this?

@cole4393631605 @archeohistories id drink pond scum before i drank Jack Daniel's

@archeohistories The Scots Irish have been distilling whiskey for hundreds of years before Nearest Green was ever brought to America. Stop this nonsense.
English

This turn-of-the-century photograph shows Jack Daniel (in the white hat) seated beside George Green, the son of **Nathan 'Nearest' Green, the man widely recognized today as America’s first known Black master distiller.
For generations, it was believed Daniel learned whiskey-making from a local preacher and landowner, Dan Call. But historical records and family accounts revealed that the real teacher was Nearest Green, an enslaved distiller hired out to Call. Green mentored the young Daniel and later worked with him after the Civil War, helping shape what would become one of the most famous whiskey brands in the world.
Green’s role remained largely overlooked for more than a century until Brown-Forman, the company that owns Jack Daniel’s, officially acknowledged him as the distillery’s first master distiller, with Daniel considered the second.
The Jack Daniel’s distillery sits in Lynchburg, Tennessee, located in a dry county. Visitors can buy commemorative bottles at the distillery, but the whiskey technically isn’t “sold” there due to local alcohol laws.
