RanV @ranv.bsky.social • 1h → Replied to RanV Besides, much (not all but certainly most) of the antisemitism would fade away if the state of Israel stopped existing, or at the very least stopped committing atrocities and war crimes against its neighbouring populations.

Little-known fact: the Holocaust, the blood libels, the pogroms, the Spanish Inquisition, Clifford’s Tower and the Dreyfus Affair were all perpetrated by time travelers who had come from the future where they had been radicalised by seeing the construction of the state of Israel.

If you are 'anti-Zionist' then you must be pro-Jewish settlement in Europe, in North America, in Australia and NZ, etc, and should be in favour of the return of stolen Jewish lands and homes across Europe.

If you're not in favour of Jews living *anywhere* then indeed you are just an antisemite.

Shadow of Madness D.V. Bishop’s Shadow of Madness is a triumph of historical noir that balances the intellectual depth of The Name of the Rose with a far more engaging cast of characters. In this sixth installment of the series, we find investigator Cesare Aldo traveling north into the biting winter hills of 1540 Tuscany, seeking answers to the mysteries of his own past.

A proper game of football, this one, berween a team that should have wrapped up the title already and another which should have been demoted to League One a long time ago.

Is this too subtle? Ken took this pic on his visit to Tokyo. I am struggling to see the map (not the museum plan), can you?

Murder Like Clockwork If you’ve followed my reviews for a while, you know I’m usually the first to roll my eyes at amateur sleuths—especially the variety that comes with a side of helpful pensioners. However, Nicola Whyte’s Murder Like Clockwork managed to charm me despite my usual skepticism. It’s a bright, breezy read that leans heavily on the chemistry of its lead duo, Audrey and Lewis, to carry a plot that is, admittedly, more than a little far-fetched.

Lego Melbourne Samuel Molena sent me these pics of his colossal lego map of Melbourne. He said: "I once visited Scienceworks Museum in Melbourne when I was 10, they had a really cool model of Melbourne using a mix of Lego and craft/modelling materials. I really wanted to make my own version, so I spent 10 years gathering the pieces I needed with a few different jobs over the years, conveniently in the city allowing me to spend my off time mapping each city block 1 building at a time.

Flags on the Bayou If I were stranded on a desert island and could only bring the works of a single author to sustain my spirit, I wouldn’t need more than half a second to choose James Lee Burke. Whether he is navigating the grit of modern crime or the shadows of historical epics, Burke exists on an entirely different plane than his contemporaries. He doesn't merely write; he paints with words, crafting prose so tactile and evocative that you don’t just read his scenes, your lungs fill with the heavy humidity of the marsh and your skin feels the prickle of the Louisiana heat.

Map Gallery – KnowWhere Loading maps…

I've been vibe coding quite a few maps over the last months: learning a lot, getting a bit better & writing about each map, what worked/went wrong and tips for others. I pulled them all together into a Map Gallery (with a little help from my friend Claude) at knowwhereconsulting.co.uk/map-gallery/
