This is not the queue, stretching miles, to see Queen Elizabeth's coffin lying in state.

@junqueiraonline@i_am_mill_i_am Arctic Summer was a great portrait of E.M. Forster and of his time. I think it really captured the fluidity of Empire really well. Hope you enjoyed it.
Friendly reminder that Elon Musk told the UN that if they gave him a budgeted breakdown of how $6Bil could end world hunger, he would do it. They gave him the budget and then he decided not to do it, and instead decided he would buy Twitter for $45Bil.
@ThatKerryHudson Alvaro Enrigue's 'Sudden Death'. A tennis match, Anne Boleyn's hair, Carravagio, and the conquest of America. About 200 pages. It's great.
@i_am_mill_i_am Not sure that's how it should always be though. Comedy should reframe how you look at things, hopefully in a funny way. To only want to see what you agree with isn't very healthy for the heart or the head.

Actually, UK got by far the most from Marshall plan - $3.2bn, huge in today’s money, 25% of total and nearly all in grants not loans. West Germany got $1.4bn. So less than 50% of UK. France got $2.5bn, Italy $1.5bn — more than Germany.

RT for BIPA!
