@benmoores2 I enjoyed this list, but the picture used for the "Bremen sub pen" is seemingly the one in Bordeaux instead of what Bremen actually has (the Valentin submarine assembly bunker) and the picture for Berlin actually shows flak towers in Vienna

@DrFrancisYoung I'm fond of Berlin's 1933 Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz, better known as "God's powerplant"

AABS grantee @KevinAxe16 presents his paper, “Peripheral Liberalism. (Post-) Socialist Estonia as Enduring Hub of Market Thought,” at #AABS2024

Kevin concludes from his research that Estonia bore liberal ideas outside the western core, and spread those ideas 1/3

@CougarSpider The 1864 poem that coined "Sherman's March to the Sea" refers to "the soil where the traitor flag falls" (in Atlanta)

@LeftNorthwoods I haven't been to RC in a few years, but that area is generally pretty moderate. Voted for Obama twice by a large margin (for a rural area) and until recently, only had moderate congresspeople. But perhaps this has to do with the Catholic/Lutheran population

@AnaWerkstetter I've compiled a long list of communist jokes I've found in my research

@NorthBelle4 @flykasinbear @BadBalticTakes I've spent a few weeks in Lithuania, and as an open Jew, never had issues with anti-semitism. The Holocaust memorials were also in decent shape. I was raised on stories of the anti-semitism my ancestors had to deal with in Eastern Europe, but it's usually rare west of Russia

Did you know that #Estonia has donated ~1/3 of its military budget to help #Ukraine 🇺🇦, according to @MFAestonia? "Such commitments (...) demonstrate its ability to employ soft power in wartime", writes @KevinAxe16. Read more in the new #ScriptsBlog ➡️ https://t.co/wEA2FGB72R

@GayofReckoning7 I'm wary of disengaging from political debates--parties that boycott elections always seem to doom themselves for more than one political cycle. But of course, there are some debates where merely taking part grants legitimacy to the other side--look at "Critical Race Theory"

On Monday, Putin said Ukraine does not exist. Last night, he began his bid to wipe it from the map. But Ukraine is a real place, with a real history, and it will never be erased. https://t.co/R4vu1MOH5J

The sad thing is that if we hadn’t expanded NATO, Putin would have tirelessly devoted himself to world peace and the brotherhood of man.

@easyJet On Nov 20, I was told my Covid test was 5 minutes too old, and not let on an EDI-AMS flight. The flight was at 6:55, the test taken at 6:50, and the certificate issued at 8:01. I had to take a new test and book new flights/connections. I'm requesting a voucher
