Did you know that there's a place in #Europe that still has a #feudal system?
The #crown dependency of #Sark is a curious place. It has no paved #roads & #cars are forbidden, #women only got the right to inherit #property in 1999, & the whole island is, to this day, a fiefdom.
This means the #monarch is the head, with a #lord (seigneur here) as the executive power & the tenants (effectively liegemen) as the vassals.
This is a special summer only flavor that's around for a limited time.
Probably Crown Royal's best flavor of all time. It just smells so damn good right in the bottle. The taste is amazing. You can certainly taste the sweetness and the bitterness of the blackberries mixed perfectly with the Crown itself.
#Republicans are now witch hunting for ppl who know #history. If you know history, you're an #antisemite by definition. Your only defense is to claim ignorance.
#Texas has passed the #CROWN Act, which prohibits schools and businesses from discriminating on the basis of #hairstyles “commonly or historically associated with race.” Like #locs. 🤦🏼♀️
Denmark, where cash is seldom used, is set to withdraw 1,000 crown (approx. €134) notes, its largest denomination, from circulation by May 2025.

In the Scandinavian country, just 10% of payments in stores are made in cash - already half as much as in 2017.
Irish 🇮🇪 #geoweirdness, secrets strange and bold,
across the isle, an odd tale to be told.
Cork to Donegal,
we'll unveil it all -
in this thread, the story will unfold.
From a global perspective the partitioning of #Ireland, #Brexit, and the #Crown are all anachronisms, living on borrowed time but to the detriment of the peoples of the islands...
There is no "splendid isolation" anymore, if there ever was. (#Mercantilism didn't do all that well historically.)
No islanders are able to go it alone, in particular not in a world of rising sea levels.
The threatened peoples of the #Pacific see this clearly, and...
When an Innu Nation found it was short $1.6 million after paying wages retroactively to police force members after a salary arbitration award, the Nation sued #Quebec and #Canada.
The #Innu argued that renewal of the tripartite agreements for policing over the years was done without needed increased funding and that breached the honour of the #Crown.
A #Court of Appeal agreed. Now the Supreme Court will hear the case.
