l y a soixante ans, le 28 août 1963, la Marche sur Washington pour l’emploi et la liberté marquait un épisode crucial du mouvement des droits civiques, entré dans les mémoires avec le discours de Martin Luther King "I have a dream"...

"When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus."
-- Turkish proverb

This is as true today as it ever was!

Did you know that once tied a man between 2 chariots & ripped him apart?

Mettius Fufetius had promised Rome the assistance of Alba Longa against the Etruscans.

Except that he told the Etruscans that the Albans would desert the Romans.

And then he betrayed both sides by not joining the at all.

Roman Tullus Hostilius was pissed!

He took Alba Longa, ordered all Albans to become Romans & executed Mettius.

This killing method was never used in Rome again.

Stephen King, Peter Straub
Talizman
Cykl: Jack Sawyer
Tom 1
═══════════════
Jack Sawyer, dwunastoletni syn chorej na raka aktorki, wyjeżdża wraz z nią z Kalifornii do opustoszałego miasteczka letniskowego w New Hampshire. Jack nie chce dopuścić do świadomości choroby matki. Poznaje starego Murzyna, dozorcę wesołego miasteczka, który ujawnia mu zdumiewającą prawdę. W równoległym do naszego świecie, zwanym Terytoriami, Dwójniczka jego matki, Laura DeLoessian, również jest śmiertelnie chora. Tylko Jack może uratować obydwie kobiety – jeśli pójdzie na drugi koniec kontynentu, gdzie w groźnym, pełnym zła czarnym hotelu znajduje się Talizman o uzdrawiającej mocy. Jack rusza więc na heroiczną wyprawę przeskakując między dwoma światami, przeżywając niesamowite przygody, poznaje wrogów i przyjaciół. Przede wszystkim jednak dorasta i staje się godnym Talizmanu. Jego wyprawa ma jeszcze bardziej doniosłe znaczenie, niż sobie pierwotnie wyobrażał.

Dutch king may apologise for slavery, but what comes next?

King Willem-Alexander is expected to make a formal apology to mark 160 years since the Netherlands abolished slavery.

This could nudge European leaders closer to reparations, but experts aren’t holding their breath.

Do you know how serious the belief in unicorns was?

In ~1100 #Vikings started trading narwhal with Inuits to sell on to merchants.

The tusks look like #unicorn horns, which were thought to neutralise poisons. The tusks were made into cups & sprinkled into food.

By the 13th c., the tusks had become relics.

When Danish #King Christian V. was crowned in 1671, his throne was made of “unicorn” horn to show his power.

The value had reached 20x that of its #weight in #gold.

For a long time in Scotland, Labour been pretty much the same as the Tories. Labour supporters deny this and get annoyed so am sorry to burst such folk's bubble but here is it straight from your leader's mouth.
Labour as a socialist party is dead and the only question that remains is which party left wing Labour supporters will vote for now?

Oh that’s alright then, the police have been politicised and now will now apologise after you’ve been banged up. Released without charge, materials found where not lock on devices but the point has been made, protest & you’ll be nicked watch Sunak throw the police under the bus now, ‘’independent blah blah blah’’
