fine work being done by the Guardian picture editor today.

Just wait, it gets even better. 😊 #WW2 #HISTORY

Currently planning a trip to the UK and looking for some aviation and history related day trips within driving distance of Cambridge. Preferably RAF or 8th AAF museums that are open on weekdays. Anyone any tips?

In a historic first for the Royal Air Force, an all-female flypast took place over the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) to commemorate the unveiling of the new Women in War exhibition, according to a Royal Air Force update. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/?p=57774

With the 80th Anniversary of our liberation coming up, I’ve never been happier for our country to have been liberated by Canadians! 🇨🇦

Cool sun glasses. (A P-47 Thunderbolt pilot in Burma.) #WW2 #HISTORY

'...the wreck site was located in 2019 by Danish divers when a .50-caliber machine gun with a serial number that partially matched one from the guns on McCollum’s aircraft was identified. An initial survey found possible human remains...' archaeology.org/news/2025/03...

Ik heb altijd geleerd dat alles voor “maar” niet telt…dat is betekenisloze versiering.

On sunny days like today I wish I lived in an area with cute old airfield museums…I need a drink on a patio, imagining Spitfires taking flight.

Got tickets to Cabaret in London, with @georgeopteryx.bsky.social. Cannot wait!! 🤩

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, Spain and EU leaders all in Kyiv today

A must read on this 80th anniversary of the bombing of Dresden. (And I wholeheartedly agree on the book recommendation for Taylor's book on the bombing)

Me during all of season one of Severance: idk what the big deal is…. Me in the final 5 mins of the last episode of season one: OH!!!

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Home after an amazing weekend in Belgium, where we honoured the crew of B17 Alice from Dallas. These cemeteries will always take my breath away, no matter of many or often I visit. 💔

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "Lol," said Gandalf, "Lmao even. But it be like that sometimes.”

Loving every scene with Gwilym Lee in SAS Rogue Heroes. Such deliciously tense dialogue scenes 👌🏻

Overheard in the music section of a Barnes and Noble: “I’ve had it with this bebop horseshit” and I respect you, time traveling jazz purist from the 1940s.

The Carter Center posting the only pic of Jimmy Carter's funeral where Trump is hidden behind a column truly is a masterclass in Southern shade
