The Toronto Circus Riot broke out on this day 170 years ago — sparked by a brawl between angry clowns and firefighters at a Victorian brothel.

Here's my annual thread about one of the strangest stories in Canadian history...

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

TANK vs TESLA

"We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again"

I thought there were three keys on his lapel badge also.

Thank you! I thought it was a beautiful photo and seemed to be British. I even thought maybe Boer War. I like the thought of Indian. I will keep looking.

Sepia toned photo of a soldier in jodphurs and uniform standing with a cane and one hand leaning on a curved leg round small table. Possibly from the First World War. Three chevrons on his right arm and a distinctive cap badge. He favors one leg and looks directly at the camera.

Found this photo at the antique shop the other day. I thought his cap badge was very distinctive, but did not recognize it. Wondering if anyone else can help place him.

Ancestry has ssdi information. I can check to see if they have it.

Attended last year and everyone was very welcoming. So much to see and do. You won't be lonely or bored. York is beautiful if heading north, Bath is also lovely.

That is the best news David! Congratulations.

the not-officially-a-SOTU begins in 30 minutes.

I propose that, for the entire duration of the speech, we post nothing but pets, birds, flowers, landscapes, comics, art, and other lovely things.

I guess the VA health clinic and US Army recruiting offices in Iowa City, Iowa are surplus to requirements?

Small plastic model pieces are glued together and sitting on the instruction schematic

First few pieces of the AFV Club M54 kit started. Happy with how things are fitting together. Tons of tiny pieces, taking my time to make sure small errors don't become big problems.

Weekend Update #122: Trump Opens His Mouth and Putin Comes Out Also, The Ukrainian Military Is In Better Shape Than Reported: European Immediate Reactions--Still Mixed

Hi All, two big releases this morning. First, I just sent out my weekend update (free as always). There was nothing shocking in the Oval Office bullying of Zelensky. Trump was speaking Putin’s words because he sides with Putin. Stop pretending otherwise. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Hitting a couple bumps in the road, but just trying to keep positive and move forward. Trying to just do what we can do.
