I missed this story earlier, but great to see the power of the German navy 😂

Kaiser Wilhelm II would be proud 🫢

Crikey, I don’t think I’ve every seen New Model Army in my feed 😂. I bought their debut album (Vengeance) and saw them a Sheffield Poly in 1984.

Guess I was a bit more radical in my youth.😀

Seems quite a cruel way to reduce the number of rich men in the 18th century.

Having watched the fantastic Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid match on Wednesday my Instagram feed is now full of English speaking analysts pronouncing Gnabry as Gin-Abry 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😱

Nazi Party Members: Legal Criteria and Post-War Status Analyze the formal criteria for joining the NSDAP, the member profile, and the legal transition during post-war denazification.

Ordered mine via, ahm, Amazon here in Germany. Was expected to arrive 2nd May, but should now arriving 29th April.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Interesting new research on natural selection, based on examining human aDNA samples, especially so as Dr Reich is one of the authors.

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honour the survivors who have generously entrusted their stories to us. Germany will continue to fight antisemitism, extremism and hate wherever we find it. This historic responsibility will never end.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a digital kiosk at the entrance of a parking garage with a dispensed ticket. The screen display reads: PLEASE TAKE TICKET BELOW. Panel 2: a T-Rex is sticking its little arm out the window of its partially opened car door, trying to reach the ticket.

Very much enjoyed this post by Paul. Researching your family changes your identity and your relationships with your ancestors, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

My own #genealogy journey has revealed the sad, mad and bad of my family.

Frohe Ostern. I’m planning on an all day sugar rush. 😀

Given that Trump has won the War on (Venezuelan) Drugs I’m surprised nobody has suggested using the now-redundant narco-subs to smuggle crude around the Strait of Hormuz. 🤷‍♂️

Congratulations Jane 👏👏

What- Baked Beans are … PECULIARLY BRITISH 🤯

Speaking of which, it’s exciting to see that this new whole genome #AncientDNA study (in pre-print) on her father in law Otto I and his grandnephew Heinrich II was published today 👏👏🎉

I'm disappointed that Mamdani chose to praise the terrorist hunger strikers, rather than the people who did the hard work needed to create the Good Friday Agreement. 🤷‍♂️
